Network News Expert: “Unlikely” Fox News Anchors Will Leave with Ailes, “Too Much Money” at Stake

It’s “unlikely” that any of the star anchors of Fox News will be exiting with Roger Ailes when he leaves tonight or tomorrow.

“There’s too much money involved,” says a network news expert insider. “Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Greta van Susteren– even if they have key man clauses they’re not going anywhere to start a new network with Roger Ailes.”

Ailes, my source says, has no non-compete clause so he can go anywhere. But remember– Ailes foundered at CNBC before Rupert Murdoch came along with deep pockets. And the Fox anchors are paid handsomely. “They’re not just going to leave without a plan,” the expert says.

Think of O’Reilly in particular with complicated custody and divorce agreements. Don’t think Fox wouldn’t leak the story of his sexual harassment lawsuit if he tried to follow Ailes out the door.

My expert says, bluntly, “This is the work of Lachlan Murdoch. He’s been waiting for this.” Lachlan was literally driven out of town — back to Australia– by Ailes years ago. And Megyn Kelly’s perfidy? “She didn’t feel supported by Ailes during the Trump fighting this year.”

They could probably be sued for failing to perform without a good reason (illness, etc). I’m sure their contracts probably have that kind of clause.

Well, I couldn’t make it through all of the speeches tonight (not that they were boring, just too tired), so I am up early and catching up on what I missed (it’s 4:30 where I am).

I had better get some more sleep, or I’ll be missing tonight’s speeches! Good night, or good morning, take your pick lol.

I suspect that many at Fox have disliked Megyn Kelly for awhile. Seems her coming out against Ailes, especially on the day that should have been Trump’s, put them over the top.

It would be interesting to know what’s really gone on - someone as self-absorbed and ambitious as Kelly has to make enemies.

It is a very small conservative TV Channel, that is not carried
by many cable companies.

I am certain it is just a coincidence that the charges against Ailes arise from Carlson and Kelly immediately after they didn’t get what they wanted.
