The new show will be offered on Fox Nation, the on-demand, subscription-based service that Fox is launching Tuesday. It is being offered for $5.99 per month.
“Diamond & Silk have proven to have cultivated a significant fan base and we are thrilled to have them be a part of FOX Nation,” John Finley, senior vice president of development and production, said in the Monday afternoon announcement.
“We cannot wait to join the best Nation...FOX Nation!” Diamond & Silk said in a joint statement. “We have so much to share with all of you on this exclusive platform and can’t wait to get started.”
The weekly offering will include five minutes of commentary “focused on events of the day and casual discourse,” according to the network.
Trump is reportedly a fan of Diamond & Silk and even hosted the pair in the Oval Office in August.
We love and support our President.

The announcement comes after Fox News announced its plans to launch a subscription streaming service earlier this year as online content continues to grow in popularity, particularly among younger adults who tend to prefer watching content on mobile devices and laptops instead of paying for traditional television cable packages.
Fox News stars Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Jeanine Pirro and Greg Gutfeld, along with former pro wrestler George Murdoch, former ESPN reporter Britt McHenry and conservative firebrand Tomi Lahren, will be among those hosting their own shows on Fox Nation.
