Fox News Launches New ‘Specialists’ Show at 5 PM
Fox News Channel, working its way to build a new lineup in the wake of the departure of veteran Bill O’Reilly, said it would launch a new program at 5 p.m. featuring three anchors from different backgrounds.

“Eric, Katherine and Eboni’s diverse opinions and backgrounds will provide our audience with an hour of informative and entertaining analysis on daily stories that are most important to Americans,” said Suzanne Scott, executive vice president of programming, in a prepared statement. “The combination of the co-hosts’ expertise in business, millennial and legal topics, respectively, will make for lively and compelling discourse.”
Bolling was previously the co-host of “The Five” and a host on Fox Business Network. He was an original panelist on “Fast Money” on CNBC and an independent commodities trader.
