Fox Business Network announced Tuesday that it is revamping its afternoon and primetime schedule, giving Trish Regan an evening slot, David Asman his own show, and moving Charles Payne to the afternoon.

The new schedule starts Oct. 15 and extends its lineup to 10 p.m.

Asman, who had been co-hosting “After the Bell” at 4 p.m., gets his own show called “Bulls & Bears” at 5 p.m.

“We are excited to extend our live programming through 10 p.m., ensuring all of our viewers get the most robust and comprehensive look at how the political economy affects their everyday lives,” said Fox Business president Brian Jones in a statement.

“I’m excited for the opportunity to create a new program that solely focuses on the political economy and what it means to so many Americans,” said Regan in a statement. “It is an honor to get to continue working alongside the best lineup in business television.”

Connell McShane will join Melissa Francis in co-hosting the “After the Bell” show.
