Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor and current Fox News Channel host, is getting a shot at broadcast television with a talk show on some Fox affiliates, according to The New York Times.

The Times reports: "'The Huckabee Show,' ... will have a preview run on weekdays for six weeks on some of the stations owned by the Fox Television Stations group, including WNYW in New York, KDFW in Dallas/Fort Worth, and WAGA in Atlanta. The preview, by the syndication unit of News Corporation, Twentieth Television, will begin on Monday, July 26. The last show that was tested this way by Twentieth was 'The Wendy Williams Show,'and it was quickly picked up as a regular series. Variety notes that Fox is now testing 'The Kilborn File' the same way."

The Times' Brian Stelter also adds, “Even as he starts a weekday show, serious questions will remain about Mr. Huckabee's interest in running for office again. He said on 'Fox News Sunday' last week, 'I haven't closed the door' on a presidential bid in 2012. 'I think that would be foolish on my part, especially when poll after poll shows that there is strong sentiment out there,' he said. 'I end up leading a lot of the polls. I'm the Republican that clearly, at this point, does better against Obama than any other Republican. You know, I'm not totally unaware of that.'”
