(NEWSnet/AP) — Jesse Watters will host an opinion show in the time slot formerly occupied by Tucker Carlson, Fox News Channel announced Monday.

Watters will remain a co-host on “The Five.”

“Jesse Watters Primetime" will begin at 8 p.m. EDT July 17 as part of a revamped weekly nighttime lineup on Fox News. Laura Ingraham's show will air at 7 p.m., with Sean Hannity's program remaining at 9 p.m. Greg Gutfeld's late-night show will move up to the 10 p.m. hour, previously Ingraham's time slot.

Watters' show previously aired at 7 p.m. Eastern.

The announcement comes roughly two months after Fox News fired Carlson after settling a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems. Carlson has moved his show to Twitter, although Fox is attempting to get him to stop the broadcasts.
