Read our privacy policy Weeks after Fox News original Neil Cavuto shockingly revealed that he was immediately leaving the network he’d called home since 1996, the conservative cable giant announced that it had decided to tap Fox & Friends Weekend host Will Cain as Cavuto’s mid-afternoon replacement. Unveiling a series of programming changes across the weekday and weekend schedules of both Fox News and Fox Business Network, Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott boasted about the upcoming The Will Cain Show, along with the host’s credentials and experience. “Will Cain brings years of experience to the 4 PM hour as an accomplished broadcaster and a lawyer and we look forward to adding his insights to what will no doubt be another historic news cycle ahead this year.” Cain added that it was “an honor to wake up with America these past four years” as co-host of the network’s weekend morning show and that he looked forward to helping Fox viewers “understand the headlines through thought-provoking content and analysis every weekday afternoon.” Fox News announces that Will Cain will take over the old time slot vacated by Neil Cavuto According to the network’s announcement, Cain will take over Cavuto’s old 4 p.m. Following reports that Fox News staffers expressed concerns about Hegseth’s alleged drinking on the job, Cain reacted by calling the stories “100 percent bulls***.” Meanwhile, Fox News inserting Cain — who they said would approach his show “in a signature podcast style” — in Cavuto’s former mid-afternoon time slot suggests the network is looking to further expand its MAGA-friendly weekday opinion programming.
