The extended deal for Ingraham means that “The Ingraham Angle,” which airs at 10 p.m., will remain in the prime-time lineup, along with Tucker Carlson's and Sean Hannity’s shows, after first premiering in 2017.
Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott announced the “multi-year deal” in a press release, but didn’t specify how many years the contract covered.
“Laura’s one-of-a-kind expertise and powerful commentary has provided an important voice to millions of Americans as a staple of our primetime lineup and we are thrilled to feature her insightful perspective across our platforms for many years to come,” Scott said in a statement.
According to the network, Ingraham is the most-watched 10 p.m. host and the most-watched female host in cable news history. The network said that during its three years, the show has gained viewers between ages 25 and 54, a key demographic for advertisers.
This year, Fox News reported that “The Ingraham Angle” has had its highest-rated year, averaging 3.6 million viewers and 650,000 in the key demographic.
“The Ingraham Angle” joined the prime-time schedule after former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly left the network in 2017 due to sexual harassment allegations levied against him. Former host Megyn Kelly departed for NBC News the same year.
