Fox Business planning financial panel show

Fox Business is preparing to launch a new discussion program that aims to emulate some of the programing hits in recent years on Fox News Channel, reports Brian Steinberg of Variety.

Steinberg reports, “The shows can serve to develop personalities who find themselves leading their own hours within a few years, as has been the case for Greg Gutfeld, who helped launch the late-afternoon program ‘The Five’ and now also leads a late-night program at 11 p.m.

“‘We have had a ton of success on Fox News side with shows like ‘Outnumbered’ and ‘The Five,’’ says Lauren Petterson, the president of Fox Business Network, in an interview, adding: ‘We want to try and take that format and replicate it on the Fox Business Network, but adding in a heavy dose of business news.’

“The project is in the ‘early-ish stages,’ says Petterson, but she hopes to see it launch on the schedule if not this quarter, then by the first quarter of 2023. The show could draw its panelists from among the network’s current roster or introduce new personalities, she says.
