Conservative radio host Mark Levin is getting a weekly Fox News show beginning in February.
The show will be called "Life, Liberty & Levin," and it will air Sunday nights at 10 p.m. ET. Levin will continue to host his syndicated radio program, "The Mark Levin Show," as well as his show "Levin TV" on the conservative streaming channel CRTV.
"I was approached and it was very enticing," Levin told CNN. "The format will be long-form interview, where we discuss philosophy, history, economics and the constitution as they relate to current events and the state of the nation."
Levin said the program would feature guests who are "not necessarily prominent people but people who are consequential in various fields."
Conservative news heavyweight Matt Drudge first broke the news of Levin's show on Twitter Tuesday morning. Drudge previously also broke the news that Laura Ingraham, herself a radio host and longtime Fox News contributor, would get her own show in September. Fox News formally announced Levin's show about within an hour of Drudge's tweet.
The show will fill a void in Fox News' Sunday primetime line up. The slot Levin is filling had been something of an afterthought for the network, which has been replaying its Sunday morning news show "Fox News Sunday" hosted by Chris Wallace at that time.
Matt Drudge, who broke the news, tweeted to "expect fireworks!"

In a statement, programming president Suzanne Scott said Levin's show would be "spirited."
"Mark’s passion for the principles found in the Constitution and success in talk radio has made him a distinct figure in the media landscape. We look forward to adding this spirited program to our weekend lineup," Scott said.
"I am honored to join FOX News, a network I have enjoyed appearing on as a guest for quite some time," Levin said in a statement. "As a proud citizen of the United States, I am delighted to share the significance of American values with such a wide audience and look forward to engaging with important guests about crucial topics."
