“Larry’s vast experience in policy making coupled with his intuitive on-air presence will add depth and insight to our business analysis programming,” Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott said in a statement. “We are excited to welcome him to the Fox News Media team and look forward to creating a show that utilizes his immense expertise to help guide viewers through this unprecedented time of economic uncertainty.”

Kudlow begins at FBN on Feb. 8. Many are familiar with Kudlow from his CNBC days.

Meanwhile, The Associated Press reports former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, may soon be joining FOX News Channel.

The network and McEnany had initial conversations after the election but put them on pause, according to someone familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not allowed to discuss personnel issues.
