A weekday show is coveted and doesn't often open up at Fox. His 4 p.m. Eastern show will be slotted directly in front of the political talk show “The Five,” frequently Fox's most-watched program.
While Cavuto's show often had a business tilt, owing to the host's background, that won't be the case with Cain. He hosts a weekday podcast on news and sports, which will continue, and Fox says Cain will bring some of his podcasting style to his television show, likely meaning more extended interviews.
Cain said he'll use his background in news, law, entertainment and business “to help our viewers better understand the headlines through thought-provoking content and analysis every weekday afternoon.” His show will debut next Tuesday.
Fox contributor Charlie Hurt will replace Cain on the weekend “Fox & Friends,” starting Saturday.
