Fox Business adding new night show, shifting another

Fox Business Network is adding two new shows during the week, shortening Neil Cavuto‘s show to one hour from two hours and eliminating the 5 p.m. “Fox Business Tonight” show.

The changes will take effect on Jan. 23.

Dagen McDowell and Sean Duffy will co-host “The Bottom Line,” a new show that will air weeknights at 6 p.m. “The Evening Edit with Elizabeth MacDonald,” which had aired at 6 p.m., will shift to 5 p.m., and “Cavuto Coast to Coast” will continue to air from noon to 1 p.m.

In addition, Taylor Riggs, Brian Brenberg and Jackie DeAngelis will co-host a new show called “The Big Money Show,” from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.

The Cavuto show previously aired from noon to 2 p.m.

“Fox Business has become the channel America turns to for their business news, and we’re excited to debut new programming tailored to key financial issues impacting homes across the county,” said President Lauren Petterson in a statement.
