“As the media landscape continues to evolve, we are always looking to innovate our programming lineup to meet the needs of our viewers, and we are confident the new lineup will best position FOX News Media for the future.”

The executive added: “Will Cain brings years of experience to the 4 p.m. hour as an accomplished broadcaster and a lawyer and we look forward to adding his insights to what will no doubt be another historic news cycle ahead this year.”

Within the same statement, the host said he’s excited for this next step in his career.

“It has been an honor to wake up with America these past four years and I am thrilled to apply my background in news, law, entertainment and business to help our viewers better understand the headlines through thought-provoking content and analysis every weekday afternoon,” he said.

Cain was previously the host of Fox & Friends Weekend. His position on the show will now be replaced by Charlie Hurt.

The new opportunity has also forced him to let go of his role as opinion editor at The Washington Times.

The host is well-versed in the industry. He has previously produced noteworthy interviews with stars like Donald Trump, Dwayne Johnson, and Dave Portnoy.
