Fox News Media regularly studies grid changes and has planned to launch new formats adapted to this post-election period, especially on Fox Business,
" a Fox News spokesperson told AFP.
The cancellation "
is one of those changes,
" she added.
“
A new program
” on this box (5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.) “
will be announced soon
”.
Lou Dobbs' show had the best viewership on the channel, averaging just over 300,000 viewers each night.
75-year-old Lou Dobbs has, on the clock, nearly four decades of continuous information channels, including ten for his show "Lou Dobbs Tonight".
After the presidential election, the presenter tirelessly relayed the accusations of massive fraud coming from the Trump camp, evoking “
corruption
” and “
irregularities
”, which no tangible element could support.
Lou Dobbs notably invited the one who was part of Donald Trump's legal team for a time, lawyer Sidney Powell, who presented, on the air, his theory, never demonstrated, of an international plot to deprive the president coming out of re-election.
"
Lou Dobbs is great
", reacted Donald Trump in a message taken up by several of his relatives on social networks as well as by American media.
"
No one loves America as much as Lou
."
The former president has indicated that he will take a close interest in the presenter's next destination.
