Veteran Fox News correspondent Trace Gallagher is stepping into the spotlight as his show, "FOX News @ Night," takes over the coveted 11 p.m. ET slot starting July 17th. This move is part of a broader primetime lineup shuffle at the network.

Gallagher, an original member of the Fox News team since its inception in 1996, has a long history of covering major breaking news events. He aims to make "FOX News @ Night" the nation's preferred late-night news program. The show's emphasis on live reporting is a key differentiator, especially for West Coast viewers accustomed to taped broadcasts.

"It's live, it's live, it's live," Gallagher emphasizes, highlighting the importance of real-time coverage. He explained that while 11 p.m. ET is late night on the East Coast, it's prime viewing time for the West Coast, where people are often still engaged in their evening activities. This allows "FOX News @ Night" to offer current, unfolding news to a national audience.

The revamped primetime schedule kicks off with Laura Ingraham at 7 p.m. ET, followed by Jesse Watters at 8 p.m. ET. Sean Hannity remains in his 9 p.m. ET slot, leading into Greg Gutfeld at 10 p.m. ET. Gallagher then closes out the night at 11 p.m. ET.

Gallagher, also Fox News' chief breaking news correspondent, believes there's a continued need for news updates at 11 p.m. ET, even on the East Coast. He envisions the show providing both a recap of the day's events and a preview of what to expect the next morning. He expressed his excitement about following Gutfeld, recalling their early interactions at Fox News when Gutfeld was a guest on Gallagher's weekend show.

While "FOX News @ Night" broadcasts from Los Angeles, much of Gallagher's production team is based in Washington, D.C. Gallagher makes frequent trips east to connect with his team, and his breaking news assignments often take him across the globe. His recent work includes contributions to the 2022 Midterm Election coverage, live coverage of Queen Elizabeth II's passing, reports on the Ukraine conflict, and extensive coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic. He's also been recognized for his reporting on Hurricane Harvey, the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, and conflicts in the Middle East.
