Conservative radio show host Laura Ingraham is jumping from being a Fox News commentator to hosting a prime time show on the network, CNN reported Monday.
While the negotiations appear to be nearing the final stages, Ingraham told friends the “deal is essentially done,” CNN reported, citing anonymous sources.
The new show comes as part of a shake-up of shows at the network, in which her show will take over the 10 p.m. slot while Sean Hannity’s popular hour-long program will be moved back to the 9 p.m.
The start date for the new series is not yet known. A Fox News spokesperson told CNN that there is as yet “no deal in place” with Ingraham.
The news comes three days after Fox News announced host Eric Bolling would not be returning to the network following allegations that he sent female coworkers lewd messages. Bolling was at least the third major name to depart Fox News under accusations of sexual harassment in the past two years, following founder and CEO Roger Ailes and primetime star Bill O’Reilly.
