Fox News Channel's John Gibson will start a weekday 6-9 PM (ET) radio show sometime in the next month or so.
Oddly enough, it's only FNR's second conservative talk show, after Tony Snow... the network airs "Hannity and Colmes" liberal Alan Colmes late nights.
Snow hasn't gotten a lot of traction in his slot - 9-noon ET. As for Gibson, this might be different...Fox could be aiming to sell his show to stations looking for something a little less offbeat and more newsy than the current champion in that timeslot, TRN's Michael Savage. And remember, Fox now has a pretty cozy relationship with Clear Channel...Premiere has no issues talk show in that slot, and many CC talkers carry Savage.
