On July 20, Fox News said it has changed the time for the second-tier Republican presidential candidate forum from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on August 6. The second-tier event is the consolation prize for the candidates who don’t make the top ten and who can’t appear in the 9 p.m. August 6 event.

The change in time for the second-tier event will increase the number of people who watch. See this story. Fox also shrunk the time for the second-tier event from 90 minutes to one hour, because there are only going to be six or seven candidates in the second-tier event.
