Fox Business News cancels Happy Hour
No word yet on the fates of Eric Bolling, Rebecca Diamond and Cody Willard, the former Happy Hour hosts.
Here’s the full FBN release:
FOX Business Network (FBN) will debut a new daytime program hosted by Gerri Willis on Monday, June 7th, announced Kevin Magee, Executive Vice President of the network. The Willis Report will appear weekdays at 5 PM/ET and feature a breakdown of the day’s top stories and how they impact the American taxpayer.
In making the announcement Magee said, “Gerri Willis’ insights on personal finance issues are unparalleled and we’re very excited to add this consumer-focused show to our weekday lineup.”
FOX News and FOX Business Chairman & CEO Roger Ailes, who hired Willis from CNN in March, added, “Gerri brings a fresh, no-nonsense approach to complicated financial issues and her new program will be a clear reflection of that.”
Joined by a different panel of experts each afternoon, Willis will dissect the news of the day and explain its bottom line effects on the wallets of everyday Americans. The program will also examine the latest scams, hidden fees and other ways companies take advantage of consumers.
Willis added, “I am thrilled to have a platform where I can help consumers understand this ever-changing economy and provide them with the tools to manage their financial future.”
The new program will take the place of Happy Hour, which will end its run on Friday, June 4th.
