Megyn Kellys 9 a.m. Today show hour has been canceled, multiple sources confirm to PEOPLE.
The news comes just 48 hours after she received immense backlash for her controversial remarks about blackface earlier this week.
Theyre contacting the staff and reassigning everyone today. Everyones being told that they still have a home here, but it wont be on Megyns show, one source says. They havent made an official announcement about the show, but everyone knows what it means when theyre being moved somewhere else. The show is clearly over.
Two additional sources insist that Kelly has not been fired from NBC completely (and she herself has not been told the networks final decision), but her 9 a.m. show is most likely over.

NBC has been looking for a reason to fire MeAgain for a while.
Lucky for her, she will get a full payout of her contract....so I’ve read.
NBC cancelled Megyn Kelly’s show because it produces banal content, has a massive price tag and gets low ratings. NBC used the silly “blackface” “controversy” as a pretext.
I’d fire the dumbass who agreed to pay her $100 million to come over from FOX.
I’m going to say that NBC has been waiting for something like this as the reason to cancel her purely as negotiating leverage. It could have been this or something else. But its all cynical negotiating leverage.
Megyn Kellys lawyer wants Ronan Farrow on hand to meet with NBC execs
I didn’t even know there was a controversy. Did NBC hire her just to peal her away from Fox?
Now I hear she’s requesting Ronan Farrow to be present at her termination discussion. Do you think she’s hinting at some sort of sexual discrimination and using this as a veiled threat?
I hope Meygan collects on the entire 69 million dollar contract. She has a good lawyer lined up already.
Im sure Jimmy Kimmel is next./s
She's going to get paid over %50 million dollars to not work and will be rehired shortly by either fox or another liberal media outlet. Most gold diggers probably just wish they were this much of a failure
I read one report that Megyn is in talks with Fox to return to them.
I remember back then how people predicted here that she was being taken in just for being antiTrump to the right wing audience of hers and would be discarded later like a used towel.
That stupid cnt.
No. Traitor btch. She has no credibility , now more than ever.
How could it be any better for her?
She just won tens of millions of dollars for future years of work she won’t actually have to do?
DOH!
A big comedown after she thought she’d be a superstar after debate 1 in 2016...
No way she would have gotten fired if she had good ratings.

According to the source, the 47-year-old has been in secret talks to return to her network TV alma mater, Fox.
Shes already talking to Fox to go back. There is no room on the schedule, but it could be Fox & Friends Opens a New Window. , the source claimed.
As Radar first reported, she had been plotting a return to Fox for months before her scandal.
However, her jump back to her former network wont be immediate.
She wont leave for Fox until NBC guarantees her the money, the source said, adding that shed like to lay low for the rest of the year and start fresh on Fox in 2019.
