“FBN Prime” to Feature Long-Form Series on American Success from Infrastructure to Real Estate

FOX Business Network (FBN) will debut FBN Prime, a new multi-series slate of primetime programming that celebrates American industry and ingenuity, announced Lauren Petterson, president of the network. Starting September 20th, the new long-form series lineup will showcase FOX News Media talent, including FBN’s Stuart Varney and Cheryl Casone as well as FOX Nation’s John Rich and Kacie McDonnell, all of whom will host new weekly programs for the network, while veteran television personality Mike Rowe will narrate.

In making the announcement, Petterson said, “We are thrilled to introduce a new engaging and inspirational primetime lineup focused on success stories across key American industries to our loyal viewers.”

Kicking off the new programming slate on Monday, September 20th will be How America Works (Mondays at 8PM/ET). Narrated by Mike Rowe, the hour-long series will showcase the many individuals that work round the clock to keep our infrastructure in working order. Rowe has been an advocate for the nation’s unsung heroes with successful shows such as Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs and After the Catch. In 2008, he founded the Mike Rowe Works Foundation, which awards scholarships to students pursuing careers in the skilled trade industry. Additionally, he’s voiced numerous documentaries and in 2011, testified before the United States Senate Commerce Committee about the skilled labor workforce and in 2014, testified in front of the House Committee on Natural Resources. A bestselling author, Rowe has penned several titles, including “The Way I Heard It” and “Profoundly Disconnected, A True Confession from Mike Rowe.”

At 9 PM/ET, FBN’s top-rated host Stuart Varney will dive into the design and ingenuity of iconic American landmarks with back-to-back episodes of American Built (Mondays at 9:00 and 9:30 PM/ET). Originally a FOX Nation series, the half-hour program will follow Varney as he interviews renowned architects, engineers and historians about engineering marvels, from the USS Nautilus to the Hubble Telescope, capturing the unassailable spirit that helped make our country the leader in innovation and growth. An FBN original, Varney helms the three-hour program Varney & Co (weekdays 9 AM – 12 PM/ET), which is often the highest-rated market-open coverage in television. He joined FOX News Channel in 2004 and later moved to FBN where he has been an integral part of its financial coverage for more than a decade. Prior to his tenure with the network, he helped launch CNN in 1980, where his coverage of the 1987 stock market crash earned CNN a Peabody Award for excellence in journalism.

On Tuesday, September 21st, Cheryl Casone will present two consecutive episodes of American Dream Home (Tuesdays at 8:00 and 8:30 PM/ET), which follows families as they hunt for their perfect house while sharing their emotional journeys to their forever home. Casone joined FBN when it launched in 2007 and has anchored coverage spanning from the 2008 financial crisis to the recent real estate boom. As a financial contributor to FOX News Channel, she also provides insights surrounding the weekly job reports. Prior to FBN, she has covered business and economic news for outlets such as CNN, CBS Newspath, MSNBC, NBC News and San Francisco’s KRON-TV.

At 9 PM/ET, Kacie McDonnell brings her popular FOX Nation series Mansion Global (Tuesdays at 9:00 and 9:30 PM/ET) to FBN Prime. Based on the staple Wall Street Journal feature, the 30-minute program explores the most lavish properties in the country, from mega mansions to high-priced high rises for a peek inside luxury real-estate listings. McDonnell, a lifestyle and sports host, joined FOX Nation in 2019, launching Mansion Global in 2020. Previously, she served as an anchor for the New England Sports Network (NESN) covering professional sports across Boston and as a sports reporter for KSHB-TV (NBC) and Philadelphia’s WTXF-TV/FOX 29.

September 22nd will mark the network debut of the FOX Business original, American Gold: The Legend of Bear Gulch (Wednesdays at 8 PM/ET). Featuring the Dale brothers, Rick (71), John (70), Tad (68), Paul (63) and Kitt (59), the hour-long series will follow the family as they attempt to mine 800 acres of previously worked land for gold in the wild mountain valley of Bear Gulch, Montana. The location holds special meaning for the brothers as their father, grandfather and uncles all spent their lives dedicated to mining the area, where they believe a family secret will help prove there’s still millions to be found.

American Country music star John Rich follows at 9 PM/ET with an intimate glimpse at the different journeys of some of the nation’s biggest names in The Pursuit! with John Rich (Wednesdays at 9:00 and 9:30 PM/ET).
