Cains last appearance onFox Friends Weekend is set for Jan. 18, when he will be replaced by Fox News contributor Charlie Hurt as a new co-host. Will Cain brings years of experience to the4 p.m.hour as an accomplished broadcaster and a lawyer and we look forward to adding his insights to what will no doubt be another historic news cycle ahead this year, Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott said in a statement on Monday that also outlined a host of programming changes at her network.
Cavuto had been a staple of Foxs lineup, and over the years had added responsibilities including as senior VP and managing editor of business news for both Fox News and Fox Business Network. At Fox Business Network, Cavuto also hosted special event coverage, including election nights.

Cain getting the new assignment on the Fox News Channel is part of other scheduling changes that includes The Big Weekend Show expanding to the 6 to 8 p.m. time slot, and The Fox Report growing to two hours from 3 to 5 p.m.
Other programming changes include Fox Business Networks Dagen McDowell joiningThe Big Money Show, which expandsfrom 12 to 2 p.m. on weekdays, starting January 27.
