Beginning today, Van Susteren’s slot hosting On The Record at 7 p.m. EST will be hosted instead by Brit Hume. The network’s new co-presidents Jack Abernethy and Bill Shine announced the news moments ago.

Abernathy and Shine, who were installed following the ouster of former network Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes, said of Van Susteren, “We are grateful for Greta’s many contributions over the years and wish her continued success.”

Just several weeks ago, Van Susteren produced an exclusive interview with Ivanka Trump about her father’s 2016 candidacy that was heavily featured on Fox. No reason for Van Susteren’s exit was given.

In a statement about his new role beginning tonight, Hume said, “I am happy to take on this assignment for the balance of this extraordinary election.”...............................

3. Talent starting to line up for TrumpTV ?

If so, not a bad idea to start the clock on their non-compete so they can get into TrumpTV as early as possible.

All speculation but if that's his end game, recruiting is probably already in progress.

[longship]

30. This is obviously a new definition of the word "talent"!

[underpants]

4. Wow pulling Britt Hume out of the crypt

All the blondes over there must be saying

[freebrew]

7. I know, right?

BRIT HUME?!?!?

hahahahahahaha and ha.

[TexasTowelie]

20. Close, but I think this is better:

Brit Exhume.

[longship]

31. Britt always reminds me of this guy.

5. CNN says there is a major shakeup coming at FOX n/t

[anneboleyn]

26. I think this is it -- and why Trump is lining up w/Steve Bannon, etc

[BuckIA]

6. She's upset that she is the only female anchor that wasn't harassed by Roger Ailes.

[Grassy Knoll]

11. Except For The 20mil Hush Money....

8. Next up: is Fox news becoming the all white man nextwork? nt

[cstanleytech]

12. Oh I am sure they will try to hire some token minorities and a handful of new women

to be sexually harassed.
After all its the same owner for the paper that managed to evade being held criminally liable for its illegal phone hacking and once the heat had cooled down a few years later they hired the same CEO (Rebekah Brooks) that had been running the whole thing.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. Wonder what will happen with the token

Juan Williams?

[cstanleytech]

32. He still does a few odd segments here and there from what I gather but he is by

no means a major player on the channel and it probably has alot to do with him having to dark of a tan to attract enough of the demographics fox caters to.

[BumRushDaShow]

33. Well a "revamped" Faux

could feature the Juans and Geraldos of the world!

Still keep hearing the buzz about O'Reilly "retiring" and maybe he can take Hannity with him.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

9. Awwwwww......

Hope she stays off TV

[BlueInPhilly]

10. She's joining the Trump campaign

Count on it

[cstanleytech]

13. I used to have respect for her but it got flushed down the toilet once she went to Fox. nt

[BumRushDaShow]

15. I remember when she was a regular on CNN

during the O.J. trial. And then suddenly, like Lou Dobbs, she signed Satan's dotted line and off she went into Fox world.

[thesquanderer]

16. The odd part: It's effective immediately.

They announced her leaving today, and she's already off her show tonight. Sounds like it was a sudden departture.

[melman]

29. That part is interesting

Whatever the reason is, I'm sure we'll hear about it soon enough. Probably in an 'exclusive' with the Daily Mail or something.

[ffr]

17. Who and who? And who cares!

The most I've seen of what goes on over on that network is from clips posted on DU. I used to block all Fox Entertainment channels when I had cable TV. I don't anymore and my bloodpressure has gone down by half.

That's an exaggeration, but you get my point.

[rurallib]

18. which means I will never be able to see her show again

just like I have never seen it yet.

Adios Greta! don't let the door hit you in the ass

[LiberalLovinLug]

19. Not with a bang.....OR a whimper

She could have left with a little dignity by supporting her female peers on their assessment of the culture at Fox News. But she stood with the old boys and what was her reward? Kicked to the curb anyways. hahahahahahaha No sympathy.

[sdfernando]

21. Good luck finding a new RESPECTABLE gig....

No, not really...Greta made her deal with Satan so no legitimate new org will hire her.

[left-of-center2012]

23. Future CNN hire? n/t

[melman]

28. I don't think they'd want her back

[BumRushDaShow]

34. Maybe she'll go to NPR

They have been making it as RW as they can the past 10 to 15 years....

[lastlib]

35. like he said, no legitimate news org will hire her........

...so, yeah, CNN or tRumpTV could be in the cards.

[ErikJ]

22. She says Fox has not felt like home for years.

fox gone off the deep end of the right for her?

[YOHABLO]

24. Maybe FOX is finally imploding. Someone said Megyn Kelly was leaving for CNN (?)

[left-of-center2012]

25. I said "CNN" as a joke

After all, CNN hired Trump's ex campaign manager.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

27. Oh there goes their journalistic integ.........

OK, OK I almost made it through that post with a straight face.

[LeftyMom]

36. She must be in some deep shit if the space ghost cult and its' army of lawyers couldn't save her job

Covering for Ailes would be my guess, but who fucking knows with these people?

[lonestarnot]

37. Yuck, scampering rats abandoning ship. What a faux snooze visual.

[Demonaut]

38. the "liberal" as described Rupert Murdoch
