Earlier this week, Fox News announced its big lineup for the upcoming season.
Ingraham, Watters, Hannity, and Gutfeld will now occupy the prime-time spots starting at 7:00 p.m.
That was hardly the only news coming from Fox News, however.
The Purge
As you all know, Tucker Carlson and Fox News parted ways earlier this year.
Well, Fox is reportedly purging the remnants of Carlson’s team from the network.
According to reports, all employees formerly associated with the Carlson show have been given their notice.
The employees are reportedly going to finish out the current season, but will be gone before the official start of the new season and scheduled on July 17…
EXCLUSIVE: Sources have told me Fox News has just terminated the rest of @TuckerCarlson's former staff. They want the nine remaining employees to continue working until mid-July.

The staffers were reportedly told that even though Carlson was gone, their positions would be safe.
The change appears to be an effort to simply purge the network of all traces of Carlson.
Since leaving Fox, Carlson has been negotiating to have his contract with Fox terminated (the contract ran through the conclusion of the 2024 election).
Carlson has since decided to go the route of Twitter rather than a major network.
He seems to be following in the steps of Megyn Kelly, who decided to go independent after leaving the mainstream media and getting an early exit from her “Today” contract with NBC.
That will not be without challenges, however, as Fox News has already slapped Carlson with a “cease and desist” order after he posted an episode of his “new” show on Twitter after having separated from Fox News.
