Megyn Kelly is moving to primetime for Fox News Channel, the network announced this afternoon. But to which hour, is not known. Since 2010, Kelly has anchored the two-hour afternoon show “America Live.”
“Megyn is an exceptional talent who has successfully filled and surpassed each role we have given her at the network,” Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes said in a statement. “Her ability to command the screen, delve into the facts and lead a debate is what makes her one of the most sought-after anchors in the business.”
Kelly signed a new contract with Fox News in May. Last fall, before negotiations got underway, Ailes told TVNewser, “We have a great relationship. Eventually, we’d love her to stay here and be even a bigger star.”
“Roger Ailes hired me nine years ago when I was new to this business and he had little other than instinct to suggest it might work out,” Kelly says. “I was grateful to him then, remain so today, and am excited for this next opportunity.”
The move is scheduled to happen after Kelly returns from maternity leave. But it was not announced, and it is not immediately clear, which primetime hour Kelly will anchor. Primetime in cable news typically means 8-11pm. Fox News Channel’s top two shows are O’Reilly at 8pm and Hannity at 9pm. “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren” at 10pm just finished the second quarter as the sixth-most watched show on Fox News,
The network also announced that it has signed long-term deals with Van Susteren, as well as with Bret Baier, Shepard Smith, Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity. Adding intrigue into what may come next, Mediaite reported that “earlier this spring” Van Susteren met with CNN chief Jeff Zucker “inquiring about a potential return to CNN.”

I’ve always liked that photograph. I can count on you to keep posting it when the occasion calls for it, can’t I?
I want Mark Levin.
I’m going to have to strongly agree with you.
Or format change? "Hannity & Kelly"? "On the Record with Greta and Megyn"?
I would dump Shep and then Hannity, he is a one trick pony.
FOX also needs some new and exciting faces to represent Republicans. I always turn off FOX when they trot out Juan and Linda.
I am plenty informed. I watch The Five periodically and am appalled at its deterioration. It’s become 4 yappy people (with the females displaying long, bare, legs) ganging up on one old, fat drunk. Dana Perino particularly annoys me. She has become shrill and seems to delight in insulting conservative values. ( “I don’t like children.” ) Dana must not have good legs because they never seat her out front.
Eric Bolling is the only one on The Five worth listening to, but the program has become mostly drivel. Last week they spent nearly the whole program arguing the advantages of allowing alcohol to be served in the work place. (Saves time because you don’t have to go across the street to get drunk.)
Really!
Megyn is primetime no matter where they put her on the schedule.
“I would love to have the contract to supply Laurie Dhu’s lip gloss..”
They don’t make her up like FOX did. She has matured a bit and is absolutely gorgeous. Worth subscribing just to look at her, but aside from that she is an exceptional reporter. Her show is great as it is minus an agenda. It is truly a fair and fact based program.
Bye bye Greta
Don't recall seeing Smith in the articles..
Shep signed a contract too but it was much earlier than the rest.
