This is not Fox News’ first foray into Hispanic-focused programming, as Fox News has done so before Fox News Latino for six years before closing in 2016. The move comes as Fox News’s Hispanic viewership has increased dramatically in recent years. After to John Sylvester, Senior Vice President of Fox News:
“Fox News Channel experienced dramatic growth in Hispanic viewers last year, increasing by double and triple digits in viewers and the younger 25-54 demographic. “Combined with recent data showing that the Hispanic population is the fastest growing electorate, this was a no-brainer decision to launch ‘Fox Noticias.’
The increase in the number of Hispanics seeking conservative news sources like Fox News parallels the number of Hispanic voters seeking a home in the Republican Party. For example:

It’s obvious that Fox News has also noticed this trend and knows that conservative viewers are their bread and butter (and the liberal hate watchers, of course). So it’s incredibly smart for them to launch this novel product in the weeks leading up to the election. It’s also smart to air the show on sports networks because it appeals to Hispanic viewers who may not watch conventional newscasts.
It goes without saying that Rachel Campos-Duffy is a great choice to host the show, as she has been a great voice for conservatives for many years, even dating back to her time as the only Republican on MTV’s “Real World.” . “
