After much speculation about a program that will rival The Five from Fox News, Newsmax has unveiled its plans to center a show around Chris Plante.
Chris Plante The Right Squad will debut on Monday, May 8th at 9:00 PM ET. The program will replace Prime News in the station’s lineup. However, Prime News host Jenn Pellegrino will be a member of Plante’s panel-based show.
The program will pair Plante — host of a nationally-syndicated radio show based at WMAL in Washington D.C. — and Pellegrino with a rotating panel of guests to form “The Right Squad”.
“I am absolutely thrilled to be joining the outstanding team at Newsmax and getting to work on a great show dedicated to carving through the fluff to get at the unfiltered truth,” Plante said, adding, “And whoever it was that said you can’t get the occasional laugh out of today’s crazy news obviously did not know me.”
“Chris Plante is an award-winning journalist who delivers fact-based news and opinion while keeping the conversation fun and interesting,” added Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy in a statement.
