#Megyn Kelly now has a bargaining chip that is worth its weight in gold and she can use it in the near future to negotiate her new #Fox News contract as hers is up at the end of the year. Will Kelly even re-negotiate a contract with Fox News or will she head out to broaden her horizons? On August 5 Megyn Kelly left for vacation and in the weeks that followed the ratings for The Kelly Files have dropped to the point that the show is now running neck and neck with MSNBC's #Rachel Maddow. Kelly's bargaining chip
It appears that the people who were lined up to fill in for Kelly while she was away on vacation did not hold the ratings steady and this speaks in volume for the outspoken news analyst about what she brings to Fox. Despite the very charismatic Martha MacCallum and the enticing personalities of Trish Regan and Sandra Smith all taking their turn at sitting in Kelly's seat, it appears some of her fans have drifted to another network. Maddow gets the ratings
It is not just a random network that Kelly's fans have drifted to and they aren't just channel surfing to find some place else, they've honed in on Maddow over at MSNBC. The Kelly Files has dropped in ratings, while Maddow has picked up in ratings and now this puts the two shows in a close race for the number one spot, according to The Independent Journal. Kelly's show has been the top destination for the demographic group of 25-54-year old viewers, which is the most coveted for TV demographics because this is where the advertisers go with the big bucks. Can Kelly write her own ticket?
Fox News is far above the rest of the news channels when it comes to the overall ratings, but seeing The Kelly Files drop and become just about even with Maddow tags Kelly as one popularity lady! Now that the data shows just how much clout the Megyn Kelly name carries these days, she can probably write her own ticket when it comes to a contract! While Kelly would probably not give Donald Trump any credit, her popularity soared during that long spat she had with Trump that starting at the Republican debate hosted by Fox back in March. Many thought Kelly, who moderated the debate, treated Trump differently than she did the other Republican candidates on the stage. Thanks to Trump, Kelly becomes household name?
Instead of asking straight-out questions like she did for the other candidates, Kelly presented Trump with a disparaging scenario and then asked him to speak to her statement, such as what she claimed he had said about women in the past. He felt blindsided and many people who watched the debate from both parties agreed with Trump.
Then the real estate mogul turned candidate hopped on social media and offered up his take on Kelly, which was harsh. The two were in this battle of words, but it seemingly ended when Kelly surprised the masses and made her way over to Trump towers and the two emerged seemingly cordial to one another and that feud was put to bed. This put Kelly in the national spotlight and while she was popular on Fox News before she had her run-in with Trump, she became so popular after her battle with Trump that she became a household name.
Host of a show goes on vacation and the ratings drop. This is a huge feather in the cap? I would think this is normal for just about any popular show.
Who gives a good rats ass about Me-gan Kelly, anyway?
Or for Faux News, either.
The fact that her fans go to the ultra liberal madcow speaks volumes about the nature of her fans.
THAT i get. It sounds great and it’s time.
What a ####ing waste 180 a month is to watch housewives of ##### and the Bachelor.
Wife pays the whole bill. I’ll not have anything to do with it.
Thanks for your patience.
I use a Roku as my streaming player. Works great. Also, some Blu-ray players and game systems have streaming apps, though mot as kuch as Roku.
I really wish Me-Me-Megyn would just go away. I’m really tired of all the attention on her and her contract.
“She’s pretty. She’s really kinda’ gorgeous... And I can’t stand the sight of her and when she starts flapping her mouth just forget it.”
My sentiments about Dana Perino.....but not Megyn.....Megyn’s pretty, but not gorgeous.
Of course, we all see differently - or most women would never find a husband........

I don’t understand how one goes for Kelly to the Maddyke.
It’s the dickweed glsses, the beadhead hair-do, and the general stupidity of her ideas that makes the Maddyke unwatchable.
Whatever. I stopped watching FOX right after the Megyn Kelly attack on Trump. Dropped cable altogether and LOVING IT. More choices than I can handle. All I need to do is get the NFL season ticket going.
Let’s see here, Kelly’s ratings went down, and then her remaining fans went to Madcow. This tells me her diehard fans were all lefties, and when wannabe lefty Kelly went on vacation her fans went for the real thing which would be Madcow.
And this gives her a feather in her cap? Yes, among lefties it does.
Then BANG. Her ego got the best of her. She became so full of herself she's unwatchable. That new hairdo makes her look like Maddow. I really used to look forward to her show.
No more.
I think Megan’s sister wrote this.
Who gives a damn?
Hair do? You mean the Butch cut?
Left over from the fan dance?
I don’t watch MeAgain Kelly.....ever since the debate, I can’t stand the sight of her.
Many of us did not know she was on vacation....probably would have tuned in if I had known.
I watch something else during her time slot, and then change the channel back to Fox when Hannity comes on, unless I am too interested in the show I was watching.
I do think this has negatively affected Hannity’s program too...people change channels when MeAgain comes on, and either forget to change back to Hannity, or get interested in the other program they are watching.
Same in this house. And I don't watch Maddow either, but curious... is this feather in her cap with her ratings down while she's on vacation, isn't it because MSNBC/NBC were showing the Olympics??
Someone actually watches Rachel Madcow?
This bargaining chip stuff will ONLY work if her ratings go up substantially after she returns. If people left her show after the conventions, they might not come back.
Time will tell (and not a lot of time, either).
