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.

Exactly the point. She is whistling past the graveyard on that assumption (that any news organization would want to pay her more).

If I were Fox, I’d offer her $10 million instead of 20 - and then see if anyone else topped the offer. If not, and she didn’t grab it right away, I’d reduce my offer to $5 million.

Personally, I don’t think she’s worth more than $50K as a local weathergirl.

Well as others have pointed out - she is seeking a paycheck of $20 million. She now earns (or is paid) 12 million to 15 million. Either one is obscene.

Yes to Laura Ingrahalm in this time slot - or Michelle Malkin.

I too watched her program at first. When she went up against candidate Trump in that debate, that was it for me. Since then, the few times I have seen her show, I have basically been disgusted with her antics and sometimes with the subject matter.

As a Beltway liberal media elite-ette, she's one of the reasons the peasants revolted with torches and pitchforks this time around.

Considering her qualifications...I bid 300/hr but only if she will stop talking.

"We already knew that. Now we're just negotiating over the price."

I wonder how those Killer Bs and rumors of her, umm, felicitations, of Brit Hume (not to mention any sexual harassment lawsuits against Ailes) are helping with her bargaining power?

My wife and I heard she was in town recently. We briefly talked about going to the bookstore, then decided not to. We used to be regular viewers but now seldom watch (we did on the nite of the Muslim stabber)
