Fox News has canceled “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” a Fox News spokesperson confirmed to TheWrap on Friday.
The final airing of the show, which typically runs twice each night on Fox Business Network, will take place on Friday without Dobbs.
“As we said in October, Fox News Media regularly considers programming changes and plans have been in place to launch new formats as appropriate post-election, including on Fox Business,” the spokesperson said. “This is part of those planned changes. A new 5 p.m. program will be announced in the near future.”
Beginning next week, the show will be renamed “Fox Business Tonight” and will feature rotating substitute hosts Jackie DeAngelis and David Asman, with DeAngelis hosting on Mondays and Tuesdays and Asman hosting on Wednesdays through Fridays.
