Fox sidelines ‘The Big Story’
- Share via
Fox News has indefinitely sidelined its daily afternoon program “The Big Story,” hosted by John Gibson, to extend the run of a new hourlong political newscast called “America’s Election HQ.”
The campaign-oriented show, anchored by Bill Hemmer and Megyn Kelly, premiered in late February. The network decided to keep it on the air because of strong viewer interest in the 2008 race, which has helped lift the ratings of all the cable news channels this year. The move was first reported by the blog TVNewser.
Gibson, whose show was not officially canceled, will continue to play a role in the 2 p.m. PT newscast and other Fox News coverage.
