Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has signed a multi-year deal with FOX News to serve as a contributor across all FOX News platforms, announced Bill Shine, Executive Vice President of Programming.

In making the announcement, Shine said, "Governor Palin has captivated everyone on both sides of the political spectrum and we are excited to add her dynamic voice to the FOX News lineup." As a contributor, Palin will provide political commentary and analysis for FOX News Channel (FNC), FOX Business Network (FBN), FOXNews.com, and FOX News-produced special event political programming for FOX Broadcasting.

In addition, she will host periodic episodes of FNC's "Real American Stories," a series exploring inspirational real-life tales of overcoming adversity throughout the American landscape that will debut in 2010.

Palin added, "I am thrilled to be joining the great talent and management team at FOX News. It's wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news."

Excellent move on her part. Ronald Reagan did a radio show during the dark Carter years, giving it up only when the 1980 camaign started. I was carrying a full-time load in college and working two jobs. His show came on during the drive from college to my night shift job.

It was one of the few things which gave us hope during those dark years.

This is similar to what John Kasich did on FOX.
Commentary and special programming.

Sarah will do well and can continue with her
work for the GOP and causes.

Works well for further moves into the 2012 Presidential
race.

This will be a great platform for Sarah to launch and run her 2012 presidential campaign. Most importantly, she will not have to travel as much while campaigning, allowing her to spend more time with her family and it will save her campaign tons of money that would otherwise be spent for advertising.

A win for Sarah
A win for Fox News
A win for the Palin Family
A win for the 2012 Palin Campaign War Chest
A win for America

You don’t watch FOX much or not at all by your post.

I do believe we need to thank God that Fox has those liberal voices, how else could they claim to be “fair and balanced”? The others have nothing but libs on their shows.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is an opt out clause in Sarah’s contract in case Sarah wants to run for President

Seems our Sarah is busy driving nails in the coffin of each Fox competitor.

I am so pleased!

Sarah’s spreading the conservative word. I’m sure McCain is miffed.

I read the YAHOO announcement that Sarah palin joined the FOX team. In the article, she’s referred to as Ex-governor Sarah Palin at the beginning, then as Ms Palin the other three times she’s mentioned. At least two other people are mentioned but always by both given and surnames...*LOL*

Congrats to Roger—and to Sarah. Good move, ‘cept the ‘Real American Stories’ bit sounds too much like soft-news pandering for her image requirements. Also, I hope she doesn’t get herself into a shouting-heads format. That’d be too familiar and nonPresidential for me. I was hoping for a 90-second daily commentary or such. But congrats all around. (I also really like that she’s on their biz channel, though that’s limited viewership. (At least till now!)

Shepard Smith’s reaction to Sarah joining Fox, he looked like the cat that swallowed the canary just now

I don’t think she would lock herself into a
long term situation along with giving her
options on outside speeches, etc.

I believe you are right, and kicking myself for not thinking of this move.

I concur. It will be interesting to see how they use her. Will she be a panelist on Special Report and/or Hannity? A commentator on O'Reilly? Will she be the only guest for a segment (like Rove or Morris), or appear with another guest?

Here's what the New York Slimes says:

Ms. Palin will not have her own regular program, one person with knowledge of the deal said, though she will host a series that will run on the network from time to time.

http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/11/sarah-palin-to-contribute-to-fox-news/?no_interstitial

Note to the Slimes: it's Mrs. Palin, not "Ms." Palin.

One of Sarah’s most loveable qualities is that she really knows how to play and hack off the media. I think her seven year quest to earn a degree in journalism and her brief stint in Anchorage as a TV journalist did some of the same things for her that Reagan’s years in Hollywood did for him.
