“Major Fox News Shake-Up: Will Cain Takes Over 4 PM Slot, Replaces Neil Cavuto as New Show ‘The Will Cain Show’ Launches”
Fox News has announced a major change to its weekday programming lineup following the departure of longtime anchor Neil Cavuto. The beloved business reporter’s departure left a significant void in the 4 PM time slot, but Will Cain, host of Fox & Friends Weekend, has stepped in to fill the gap with his new show, The Will Cain Show, which began airing on January 21.
Will Cain’s New Role at Fox News
Cain, who has been a prominent figure on the weekend show since 2020, expressed his excitement about transitioning to weekdays. In a statement, Cain said he looks forward to helping viewers better understand the headlines through thought-provoking content and analysis every weekday afternoon. His experience at Fox News and his background as a lawyer and broadcaster made him a natural choice to take over this time slot.

Before joining Fox News, Cain had an impressive career at ESPN, where he hosted The Will Cain Show and appeared regularly on First Take. He also contributed to CNN as a fill-in host for sports programs. Cain’s Texas roots and business background are expected to bring fresh insights to his new show.
The Big Changes at Fox News
In addition to Cain’s new show, several Fox News programs have seen schedule changes. The Fox Report Weekend with Jon Scott and The Big Weekend Show will now air for two hours on weekends, from 3 to 5 PM and 6 to 8 PM, respectively.
Fox Business’s The Big Money Show will also be expanded to air from 12 to 2 PM ET on weekdays. Dagen McDowell, who co-hosts Fox Business’s The Bottom Line, will now join the show, adding to the growing roster of programming changes.
The Departure of Neil Cavuto
These significant changes follow the departure of Neil Cavuto, one of Fox News’ longest-serving anchors. After an illustrious 28-year career with the network, Cavuto’s exit left a gap in both Fox News and Fox Business. His show was instrumental in shaping business news on the network, and his departure marked the end of a remarkable career.
A spokesperson for Fox News expressed deep gratitude for Cavuto’s dedication, calling his career a “master class in journalism” and acknowledging how his programs “defined business news.”

A Look Ahead
With Will Cain stepping into the 4 PM slot, viewers can expect a fresh perspective and engaging commentary. His background in both law and broadcasting, combined with his time at Fox News and ESPN, makes him well-suited to lead the program during a busy and complex news cycle.
As the network adapts to the changing landscape of broadcasting, the introduction of Cain’s new show marks the beginning of a new chapter for Fox News. Fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see how Cain’s show fares and how his distinct conservative viewpoints shape the upcoming news cycles.
With Neil Cavuto leaving such a lasting impact, the success of Cain’s transition into the 4 PM time slot will likely influence the future direction of Fox News and its audience engagement.
