Fox News names Emily Compagno as a full-time co-host of its top-rated daytime program, “The Five,” beginning September 8. The announcement comes from Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott, with multiple outlets reporting that Compagno moves from the earlier-afternoon show “Outnumbered” to the fourth co-host position on “The Five.”
Compagno is expected to leave “Outnumbered” as part of the change. Fox News says a separate personality will temporarily fill her seat on “Outnumbered” until a permanent replacement is named. Outlets also describe Compagno as a longtime Fox News contributor and former attorney.
The coverage is largely consistent across outlets, emphasizing the date of the switch, the program she is departing, and the role she is taking on. Differences are mainly in wording and framing, with some focusing on the programming shake-up and the “most-watched” status of “The Five,” while others emphasize Compagno’s history on “Outnumbered” and the co-host lineup on the new show.
