What happened to Martha MacCallum and the story on Fox News?
The Story with Martha MacCallum is broadcast from Studio F at 1211 Avenue of the Americas (also known as the News Corp. Building), New York City. In January 2021, the program moved from 7 PM to 3 PM hour, opening the 7 PM hour to an opinion-based program called Fox News Primetime.
An insider told The Daily Beast that the network lineup restructuring was due to Martha’s ratings. “[Fox] clearly don’t think [Martha] is strong enough to be part of the prestigious primetime lineup,” a current staffer told the outlet. “Before the election, she was always No. 1.”
The insider continued, “Then we called Arizona for Biden and everything changed. Bottom feeders like Newsmax and OAN scrambled to accrue our disenfranchised viewers.”
