Prominent Fox News Personality's Show CANCELED - Network Scrambling For Replacement As Ratings Continue To Collapse

Multiple industry sources have reported that 'Kennedy' hosted by Fox News alum Lisa Kennedy Montgomery on Fox Business Network's 7 p.m. Monday thru Thursday slot has been canceled after an eight-year run. The final episode aired June 1st and will be replaced by an encore presentation of 'Kudlow' starting June 5th.

Broadcasting & Cable reported Monday that Montgomery will continue to be featured on other programs such as 'Outnumbered' and 'The Five' and will remain under contract with Fox News Media. She is also set to continue her Fox News podcast "Kennedy Saves The World," and is presently touring with Fox News radio colleague Jimmy Failla.

Tweeting about the end of her primetime show, Kennedy, who started out in television as an MTV VJ in 1992 joked, "It is the last episode of #Kennedy tonight, so let’s go out with a bang! Just like my prom night, which also ended after 8 1/2 years. Join us!"

Montgomery joined Fox News Media as a contributor in 2012 and launched her own show 'Kennedy' in 2015.

As previously reported by DC Enquirer, Fox News has suffered a precipitous rating collapse since letting Tucker Carlson go in April. According to Deadline, in May "Fox News averaged 1.42 million viewers in primetime, a 37% drop from the same month a year ago. MSNBC averaged 1.16 million viewers, an increase of 14% from May, 2022. CNN averaged 494,000, a drop of 25%."

The most deadly hemorrhaging appears to be in the 25-54 or 'prime' demographic where Fox News held onto just 135,000, a drop of 62 percent year-over-year. MSNBC gained 14% in the same timeframe, while the continuing collapse of CNN saw that network lose 25%.

Without Carlson, the top-rated shows on Fox News are now (in order) 'The Five', 'Jesse Watters Primetime', 'Hannity', 'Special Report with Bret Baier', and 'Gutfeld!'.
