TV news executives are not seeing a bidding war for Fox News star Megyn Kelly
LA Times via Drudge ^ | 12/2/16 | Stephen Battaglio

Megyn Kelly’s bestselling memoir is called “Settle for More,” but the star anchor may have to settle for less money if she decides to leave the Fox News Channel.

Kelly is said to have not made up her mind about staying with Fox News beyond the end of her contract in July, even with an offer of more than $20 million a year to stay, which would put her in the same income bracket as NBC’s “Today” co-anchor Matt Lauer.

So far no other networks have offered to top Fox’s figure, according to network news executives and agents familiar with the talks and who were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. A spokesperson for Creative Artists Agency, which represents Kelly, declined to comment on her contract negotiations.

also, looked at Amazon, they don’t have her in the top 20 in sales in any category I saw. they do list books as best seller for NYT, but it is not listed as an amazon best seller.

I’ll chip in a little dough if she’ll leave earlier.

She does NOT get $20M currently - that is what she wants.

"For the final year of her current deal, Ms. Kelly is set to receive about $15 million, people familiar with the matter said. The people said she is seeking an average annual salary north of $20 million for her next contract—which would put her on par with Fox host Bill O’Reilly.

When your employer gets wind of you looking else where you usually get shit-canned.
Hope fully Kelly will meet this demise!

She is Book Ended by O’Reilly and Hannity. Without them on either side, viewers wouldn’t watch.

OANN is the only news we watch on a daily basis.

They could then become more like my current favorite One America News.

In her pride and greed she jumped the shark. Decrease her pay and give her a 3am slot.

Well, if Trump is considering Romney for SoS, maybe he’d consider Kelly for Press Secy.

Bid for her to cast in porn.

Megyn could dress up like a goat and do porn for al jazeera.

I would say both are a waste of good air, but a waste of space is good too.

I don’t hate her, she inadvertently helped Trump become President, she’s like a female Forrest Gump.
