Since he took over the slot, the ratings have improved markedly. I\u2019ve watched Carlson as he assaults one Liberal after another, using the most horrifying of weapons, Logic, Facts and the Liberal\u2019s own words, against them. The original story of the changes broke on Drudge this morning, and Fox has just formally announced it on their web site. <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20180613134133\/http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/2017\/01\/05\/tucker-carlson-takes-over-megyn-kellys-slot-martha-maccallum-gets-new-show.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">In the announcement, Fox said<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>Tucker Carlson is assuming the 9pm time slot being vacated by <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20180927154423\/http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/2017\/01\/03\/why-megyn-kelly-is-leaving-fox-news-for-nbc.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">outgoing host Megyn Kelly<\/a>, and Martha MacCallum will be taking Carlson&#8217;s place at 7pm with a program covering President Trump&#8217;s first 100 days in office, the Executive Chairman of 21<\/b><sup><b>st<\/b><\/sup><b> Century Fox Rupert Murdoch announced Thursday. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Then Rupert Murdoch, who wasn\u2019t happy with having to terminate Roger Ailes added this:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u201c<b>In less than two months, Tucker has taken cable news by storm with his spirited interviews and consistently strong performance,\u201d Murdoch said in a statement. \u201cViewers have overwhelmingly responded to the show and we look forward to him being a part of Fox News\u2019 powerful primetime line-up.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Carlson\u2019s show in the 7pm slot was hammering the competition, and was a great lead in to the \u201cEver so full of himself\u201d Bill O\u2019Reilly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>After a record-breaking launch in the 7pm hour last November, &#8220;Tucker Carlson Tonight&#8221; has become one of the most buzzed about cable news programs on television.
