Fox News Channel won’t carry coverage of prime-time Jan. 6 hearing live
The Hill, Jun 7, 2022

Fox News Channel has announced that it will not provide continuous live coverage on Thursday evening of the first hearing of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

In an announcement on Monday, Fox News Media said hosts on the air as the proceedings are taking place will “cover the hearings as news warrants,” before anchor and chief legal correspondent Shannon Bream will anchor a two-hour live special focusing on the hearings starting at 11 p.m.

The conservative media giant will instead show live continuous coverage of the hearings on Fox Business, with anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum hosting. It will also provide coverage via Fox News Digital, Fox News Audio and Fox Nation.

The announcement signals Fox will not preempt its regularly scheduled opinion shows, featuring controversial hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, all three of whom draw in millions of viewers a night.

Most of the other major cable and network news channels have indicated they will provide live, continuous coverage of the hearings in their entirety.

I love that the January 6th stuff is in the news. It cost me $90 to fill up at the pump last night. I was just stunned watching the price go up and up and up.

The average voter feeling that rage and then turning on the TV to see January 6th stuff is a gonna motivate people.

The New York Times on Tuesday admitted the Democrats’ upcoming January 6 Committee hearings are an attempt to “recast” the party’s failing midterm election message against Republicans in order to help Democrats “to stay in power.” https://t.co/mVfwTLX26r— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) June 7, 2022
