Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes is being interviewed by Neil Cavuto at this hour in California at a 21st Century Fox investors conference.
The first question Cavuto asked was about the rumor, first reported on Drudge Report, that Megyn Kelly will me moving into the 9pmET timeslot this Fall. “Generally, I don’t confirm or deny any rumors, and that is a rumor at the moment,” said Ailes, adding “all of our stars will be back.”
As for Hannity, who currently hosts the 9pm hour, Ailes said, “Hannity is a brand that many of our viewers love and want to see, and, as you know, is one of the nicest guys in the building.”
Ailes did say he’s been having conversations with Shepard Smith about “a new way to deliver news.” This could mean a lot of things, including that Smith’s 7pm timeslot is up for grabs.

Sounds a bit cold doesn't it?
Hannity: "I am not a brand, I am a free man!"
Ailes: "HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!"
I just spit coca-cola all over my keyboard when I saw Sheppie all done up.
I had to reupload it.
Not only do I agree with you, but i do even when it comes to libs BOR interviews. To understand what’s wrong with their thinking, it’s necessary to hear them out.
Judge Jeanine Pirro for a prime slot five days a week. She outclasses them all, IMO. Judge Pirro has more spine and guts then all of DC or Fox News.
You got that right. Every time I think of her I see her on election night skipping across the stage in her little Shirley Temple dress. She was obviously happy with the results. Plus, she talks too fast.
I can definitely agree to moving Shep Smith. He already has 2 shows anyway. I’m not thrilled with him.
More than Shep, I can’t stand Red Eye. Gutfeld is 7th grade. His put-down sidekick Bill is 7th grade. The humor is pretend 7th grade libertarianism.
I like a lot of libertarian ideas; I hate Red Eye. Give that time slot to Smith if they must use him someplace, but dump red eye.
I’d actually prefer to see a Brett Baier re-run in that slot.
Stars? Ye gads, man...get a grip.
I agree. Judge Jeanine is the best of them.
Megyn is a social liberal. She is qualified mostly because of her blond hair and wide-set eyes. Social liberals — on marriage, pro-life, illegal immigration — are very hard to find at trashy Fox. The “Glee” starts with the reprobate at the top.
On MSNBC.
Bye-bye Shep?????
I remember the day Mark Steyn subbed for Rush. He hit a home run and after that day, if he wanted a radio show, he would have taken his shot.
I imagine he likes to be Rush’s go-to sub and doesn’t want to deal with five-day-a-week media nonsense.
Because he is witty/funny and smart as hell and can really take it to the commies.
I think that I’ve heard her expound on the lives of babies in the womb and castigate Dr. Gosnell of Philadelphia. That’s not too liberal. She seemed appalled at what he was doing to babies in his dirty clinic.
You can watch re-runs of Murder She Wrote, or Frasier, in that time slot. That’s what I do. I hate Red Eye, followed closely by The Five.
I accidentally posted under my husband’s screen-name. He speculated that Kelly may have 4 days & Hannity on Fridays with the focus groups.
