More on Tony Snow and the new FNC Radio show…
TVNewser had a bunch of questions in regards to Tony Snow’s change of employment. Here are answers to some of them…
- Tony Snow was released from his contract with FNC and is no longer on its payroll.
- Rotating anchors will take over “Weekend Live” during the hours Tony used to host.
UPDATE: An emailer writes in to say that Catherine Herridge will host this weekend.
- As TVNewser already found out, the new radio show is called “Brian and The Judge” with Brian Kilmeade and Judge Andrew Napolitano. Here is FNC’s release on the show…
FOX News Radio will debut the nationally syndicated talk show, Brian and The Judge, on Thursday, April 27th. Hosted by FOX News Channel’s (FNC) Brian Kilmeade, co-host of the network’s morning show, FOX & Friends, the three-hour program will also feature FNC’s senior judicial analyst, Judge Andrew Napolitano, a former New Jersey Superior Court judge. The program will broadcast live from 9:00 AM to 12:00 Noon ET and will replace “The Tony Snow Show.”
Brian and The Judge will serve as a news-driven, interview and commentary show, harnessing the vast resources of FOX News, and focusing on the latest national and international news, from politics to social issues to pop culture. Key newsmakers as well as a wide array of well-known movers and shakers in the worlds of news and entertainment will be featured on the show.
FOX News, headed by Roger Ailes, Chairman and CEO, operates FOX News Radio, a 24/7 news service reaching more than ten million listeners a week. The network features a comprehensive hourly five-minute newscast along with one-minute newscasts, breaking-news coverage to affiliate stations nationwide, and four weekday talk programs, Brian and The Judge, The Alan Colmes Show, The John Gibson Show and FOX Across America with Spencer Hughes. Additionally, FOX News also operates FOX News Channel (FNC), the number one cable news channel in the United States for more than four years, FOXNews.com and produces FOX News Sunday with Chris Wallace and The Radio Factor with Bill O’Reilly.
I feel a new slogan coming on.
TVNewser’s got questions; Inside Cable has answers.

I’m wouldn’t bet the rent that the Kilmeade/Napolitano tandem is permanent. The logical move is to move John Gibson from late afternoon (where is show is not getting much traction) to the Tony Snow mroning slot.

FNC wouldn’t set this up just as a filler. It’s as permanent as permanent can be in this business…

When Brian is there, I may listen now and then. But the Judge was the only one there today, and I didn’t stay long.
I like both of them, and hope they find their groove.

I can’t say I’m a big fan of either of them. Oh, well, I wish them well nonetheless.
