FOXNEWS SCHEDULE SHAKEUP: MEGYN IN AT 9 PM Thu Aug 08 2013 11:56:26 ET

**Exclusive**

FOXNEWS is set to make its first primetime schedule change in 10 years, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Superstar newswoman Megyn Kelly has landed the 9 PM slot, top sources reveal.

The shock announcement is set for later this month.

"It's all about Megyn," an insider explains. "She is the new face of cable news. She has it all!"

Developing...

Hannity is moving. The article says Kelly is taking the 9pm slot. Which is currently occupied by Hannity.

[JimRed]

I surmise that since Gretta is leaving Fox, Hannity will get her slot

I had not heard that she was leaving. I like her style and her occasional pit bull approach to interviews.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Shep is reduced to his afternoon show.

Which is way more than the man-child deserves. He could be taken off the air completely and I'd never think of him again.

Greta was great. She’d ask a question and sit back and let Rush carry on. No interruptions.

I remember her terrific handling of Sarah.

I’ve come to really like her style.

I agree. When she's full-bore on the murder trial stuff (Trayvon, Jodi Arias, etc.) I won't tune in. But when she does her regular routine - interviews with political figures (usually conservative), Benghazi, and the current outrages of government waste, etc., I rarely miss a show.

I do know a few women who do the opposite, though. They only tune in when Greta is doing the murder mystery and trail stuff. They tune out when Greta goes back to politics...

[zerosix]

Yes, and I was surprised to listed to her during election night. I had thought Megyn was "a bit" or "somewhat conservative" but have found her to be much less conservative than I had thought Greta was.

I've been pleasantly surprised that Greta's much less liberal than I had believed she is.

Interesting take...but you let out one person...Pirro..her opening monologues have become instant classics...she tears Obama a new one every week...they’re all on YouTube..just hit search..

[Jane Long]

Hannity on Beck? Not in a MILLION years...

I used to think that, too, until I heard The Blaze's Buck Sexton interviewed on Hannity's radio show. Maybe they've mended fences?

[InterceptPoint]

Maybe it’ll be the Hannity/Kelly show at 9pm ET?

Oops. An option I forgot. Could be. But I doubt it.

But I will say that I've thought a Hannity-Kirsten Powers combo would make for a much more interesting show than what we have now. Somehow Hannity/Kelly doesn't seem like it would have a similar spark.

Regardless, Megyn Kelly is a lot of fun. I'll watch her show and, at this point, I'm not watching Hannity. I used to. No more. Too repetitive and predictable. If I hear "media bias" one more time I'm going to scream. A good subject but it's been beat to death.

[ken5050]

My head hurts...I think you need a 26 hour day to make that happen...or is Cavuto just gonna be on FoxBusiness from now on?

[ConservativeMan55]

She’s not leaving.

[Digger]

Interesting take...but you let out one person...Pirro..her opening monologues have become instant classics..

I'm surprised she isn't mentioned more. Still, Greta is by far the best, according to my wife & me. I would like something where MM appears more often.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Ahh.. I am central. Watch Hannity at 8.

[A'elian' nation]

But but but but Where does that put Leno on your schedule ? ? ?

Does Leno take the Red Eye spot? lol

[ConservativeMan55]

When was this?!

[ConservativeMan55]

Beck said if he had the money he would try and hire Leno.

[nutmeg]

Perfectly said, Leni... totally agree.

Although I used to be a big fan of Glenn Beck's Fox TV show at 5pm, I've never been able to stand Beck's radio show... seems like more commercials than actual show, and the giggling and silliness immediately turned me off on Day One. Fortunately here in the Hartford, CT area we have an excellent local conservative talk radio host in Beck's same morning time slot.

I have to agree with your comments about Hannity, however I really doubt he will be leaving Fox News. Maybe it'll be the Hannity/Kelly show at 9pm?

[ConservativeMan55]

I am central as well and watch Hannity at 8.

But when Fox does press releases and says for instance.. the 9pm spot.. it’s 8 our time.

[My Favorite Headache]

I didn’t touch Pirro because she should stay. Geraldo and Huckabee should be told to have their offices cleaned out by the end of the day. Huckabee wants to get back into office again anyway...might as well show him the door now.

[ConservativeMan55]

Becks radio show has improved a ton.

He does some amazing monologues. They have fun to be sure.. but there’s not a ton of sillyness that i’ve ever noticed and i watch every day for the past 6 months.

[My Favorite Headache]
