In a change to its morning show, Fox News is adding Lawrence Jones as a co-anchor of Fox & Friends, where he will join longtime hosts Steve Doocy, Brian Kilmeade and Ainsley Earhardt on weekday mornings.
Jones will also continue in his role as the program’s enterprise reporter. His weekend show Lawrence Jones Cross Country will end with his new promotion, with Kilmeade taking over the 9 p.m. Saturday time slot.
“I am honored to become a part of the cable news legacy Fox News has created with Fox & Friends, the very show where I made my first ever national television appearance,” Jones said in a statement. “It is truly a privilege to inform our audience every day and I can’t wait to do so each morning.”
Fox says that Jones, 30, is the “youngest Black co-host in cable news” with the promotion. Doocy and Kilmeade have co-hosted the morning...

A senior Fox News executive has exited the company following an investigation into violation of business conduct.
John Finley, who had been executive vice president of development, had been with the network for more than 20 years.
“Fox News Media and John Finley have parted ways after an independent investigation concluded that he had violated certain standards of business conduct,” said a Fox News spokesperson. The company did not elaborate, but The Washington Post, citing an unnamed source familiar with the investigation, reported that it had to do with the use of his position to benefit someone over whom he had influence. Finley did not respond to a request for comment.
Finley played a large role in the launch of Fox Nation, the network’s subscription streaming service, in 2018, and previously helped create some of Fox News’s signature shows, including its top rated series The Five, as well as Hannity,...

Fox News is shaking up its primetime lineup … on the weekends, at least.
The cable news channel says that it will launch a new lineup beginning this weekend, with some shows switching timeslots, and one program, The Next Revolution with Steve Hilton, ending its run on the channel.
Hilton has hosted The Next Revolution Sundays at 9 p.m. since 2017. Fox News says that he will remain with the channel as a contributor, and is stepping back “to focus on his new California non-partisan policy organization launching next week.”
Former Congressman Trey Gowdy, who has hosted Fox’s 7 p.m. hour on Sundays with Sunday Night in America, will take Hilton’s 9 p.m. timeslot.
At 7 p.m. Fox News will launch The Big Weekend Show, which will feature “a rotation of network hosts and contributors discussing the news of the day” on Saturdays and Sundays.

Fox News Channel is getting ready to shake up weekends.
In the aftermath of the departure of weekend opinion host Dan Bongino, Fox News intends to add a new panel show to its Saturday-night grid, while ending Steve Hilton’s Sunday-night program, “The Next Revolution.” Hilton will take a contributor role as he focuses on the launch of a non-partisan policy organization in California. Bongino and Fox News parted ways in April after failing to come to terms on a new contract.
“We are excited to launch a new dynamic weekend line-up that will further solidify our position as the number one cable news network for more than two decades,” said Megan Albano, the Fox News senior vice president who oversees weekend programming and the weekday panel show “The Five,” in a statement. “We thank Steve Hilton for his show’s contributions and look forward to continuing to feature his...
