Fox News is making major waves in its programming schedule as the network announces that Will Cain will receive a significant promotion with the launch of The Will Cain Show. The show will take over the coveted 4 PM ET weekday timeslot, offering viewers a comprehensive look at the day’s headlines with Cain’s signature style of thought-provoking analysis and engaging conversations.

Cain, who has been a familiar face on Fox & Friends Weekend, shared his excitement about the new role, saying, “It has been an honor to wake up with America these past four years, and I am thrilled to apply my background in news, law, entertainment, and business to help our viewers better understand the headlines every weekday afternoon.”

The show will feature in-depth discussions with key figures from politics, business, culture, and sports, blending news coverage with the dynamic format of a podcast. This marks a new chapter in Cain’s career as he transitions from the weekend co-hosting gig to a solo show in the weekday afternoon slot.

As Cain embarks on his new role, Fox & Friends Weekend will be getting a fresh face, with Fox News contributor Charlie Hurt stepping in to replace Cain. Hurt, the opinion editor of The Washington Times, will bring his insight to the show beginning January 18.

This move is part of Fox News Media’s broader strategy to innovate its programming lineup and strengthen its position in an ever-evolving media landscape. CEO Suzanne Scott expressed confidence in the shift, highlighting Cain’s extensive experience and the value he’ll bring to viewers during a critical news cycle.

Cain’s new show will continue its successful podcast, further bridging the worlds of news, sports, and listener engagement. Fans can expect more in-depth and exciting discussions as Cain brings his unique perspective to weekday afternoons.
