The Fox Business anchor Trish Regan, whose on-air dismissal of the coronavirus as “another attempt to impeach the president†left her cable network facing a firestorm of criticism this week, has been removed from her prime-time slot for the foreseeable future, the network said on Friday.
Ms. Regan’s 8 p.m. program, “Trish Regan Primetime,†is “on hiatus until further notice,†Fox Business said in a statement. The network declined to say if Ms. Regan would continue to appear on its other programs, saying that its coverage plans for the coronavirus crisis remained in flux.
Fox Business attributed the move to “the demands of the evolving pandemic crisis coverage,†saying it was shifting resources toward daytime coverage of the pandemic and global markets. Both “Trish Regan Primetime†and its follow-up at 9, “Kennedy,†will be replaced by general-interest programs.
Still, the abrupt removal of Ms. Regan — a reliably pro-Trump personality who has twice interviewed the president — came as right-wing media stars have faced growing scrutiny for commentary that played down fears about the coronavirus and suggested that the illness had been overhyped by President Trump’s critics.

@Once-Ler :
Does on air dismissal actually mean (I know this sounds redundant) she was dismissed while at her news desk? I hadn't heard that yet, however,
Another thread was set up the other day:
http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,395027.0.htmlIt obviously, did not get as much attention.... but that she was dismissed on-air, I was not aware of that,
Her twitter:

Fox Business Puts Trish Regan, Kennedy Shows on Hiatus
By Brian Steinberg
Fox Business Network said it would scrap most of its primetime schedule by putting two of its programs on hiatus “until further notice†in order to staff coverage of the coronavirus crisis elsewhere within Fox News Media.
The network said in a statement that its 8 p.m. hour, “Trish Regan Primetime,†and 9 p.m. hour, “Kennedy,†would be replaced by long form programming.
“Due to the demands of the evolving pandemic crisis coverage, we are deploying all resources from both shows for staffing needs during critical market hours,†the network’s statement said.

So, the bongino link reads:
"Fox Puts Trish Regan and Kennedy's show on hiatus to Increase Coronavirus Coverage"So, we can think either way, to me, this Variety article makes some sense.
Trish's twitter again:
https://twitter.com/trish_regan and she makes no mention that this was because of her remarks.
I've seen Kennedy show, it's a good show too.
So, to me, it's still not clear what happened and she is tweeting away apparently.
