Now Tonight with Joshua Johnson has been shown at 8 PM ET since its debut last year.
“We’re heading in a new programming direction, which we’ll announce soon. We thank Joshua for his contributions and wish him all the best,” a network spokesperson said. In the interim, a rotating group of anchors will fill the slot as Now Tonight. The staff will not be impacted.
