Trish Regan To Go Primetime On FOX Business


Fox Business Network will debut a new primetime lineup starting on Oct. 15 that will see host Trish Regan moved from afternoons to 8 p.m. ET, according to a Tuesday announcement.

Regan, a former CNBC and Bloomberg host and reporter, will host a new program titled "Trish Regan Primetime."

“As we mark our 11th year on the air and continued dominance over rival CNBC during Business Day, we are excited to extend our live programming through 10PM, ensuring all of our viewers get the most robust and comprehensive look at how the political economy affects their everyday lives," said Brian Jones, president of the network.

According to The Hill, the program "will feature Regan as she expands upon the leading headlines of the day and their economic impact on the country. Additionally, each night Regan will be joined by a rotating lineup of industry experts and business titans to explore how the policy set forth by Washington affect the markets, economy and personal finance," according to the network.

Charles Payne's "Making Money" will move from 6 p.m. ET to Regan's old spot at 2:00 p.m.

"The Evening Edit with Elizabeth MacDonald" will fill Payne's timeslot at 6:00 p.m. ET, while "Bulls and Bears with David Asman" will be featured in the 5 p.m. slot.

Connell McShane will take Asman's old co-hosting spot on "After the Bell" with Melissa Francis at 4 p.m.

“We have an incredible roster of expertise across both our daytime and primetime lineup and this new schedule will ensure our viewers get the best, most experienced analysis across the critical business and post-market hours," Jones added. "Charles’ keen eye for spotting market moves along with Connell and David’s seasoned backgrounds, will further enhance our business coverage, honing in on the critical news that will impact Americans most.”

Fox Business Network topped rival CNBC in the race for total viewers in business television for the 14th consecutive month in August, according to Nielsen Media Research as CNBC held on to a slim lead in the key 25-54 demographic.
