Former Fox News Channel anchor Shepard Smith will join CNBC for a weeknight program, the network announced Wednesday.
"The News with Shepard Smith" will feature "fact-based storytelling," the network said, and put Smith back in the 7pm Eastern time slot where he was during the early part of his career at Fox News.
CNBC says the show will launch in the fall. Smith abruptly quit Fox last fall after being at the network since its start.
