Lou Dobbs, the outspoken TV news star who quit CNN last year to join Fox, is finally getting his own show on the Fox Business Network. His show will be called Lou Dobbs Tonight and kicks off in less than two weeks.[See a slide show of the 10 Best Cities to Find a Job.]

Kevin Magee, executive vice president of the network, said that the show will appear weeknights at 7 p.m. beginning Monday March 14th and will feature stories about the news of the day and how they impact the economy. Dobbs will be up against CNBC's

The Kudlow Report.

The network said he will also feature a regular "Lou Dobbs Moneyline" segment to point out financial trends.

His new show comes as the network is picking up steam in its bid to take on CNBC as cable's voice of business news. Dobbs also brings his political commentary to the table that brought him fame at CNN. When he quit CNN there was some speculation that he wanted to become a policy advocate, possibly on the issue of immigration, or even run for president.

Here's what Fox just sent us:
