Greta put out a statement shortly after that talk that said she wasn’t going anywhere and had just signed a long term deal with Fox for a prime time show.
Hannity also recently signed a long term deal.
Greta has the #1 show in her time spot. Why move her?
Gretta will be let out of her contract to join CNN.
“He did great on reporting on Obama before he took office.”
Hannity’s heart is in the right place, and his bulldog approach is admirable. But if you watch him over the course of 3 nights he gets tiresome, or if you also listen to his radio show, nothing new is really be said by him. I think his strength is when he moderates those Friday night discussions with about 30 people in a studio audience.
He graduated Chaminade HS in Mineola in 1968. That would make him about 63. Not around 70 unless we’ve changed rounding rules.
PLEASE, get rid of Shep! He makes my skin crawl!
I really like Sean and consider him a valuable soldier in our front lines.
His show, however...and I'm searching for the right word....is, well....monotonous.
As much as I loathe O'Reilly's blind piggishness which finds an acorn occasionally, I have to hand it to his program.
In my opinion, The Factor has the best (and probably the best-paid) producers of this program's particular genre than any in the business today.
The Factor is numero uno because it's varied, it moves, it pops, its topics are current, it doesn't repeat itself, it has top-notch guests as well as guests you love to hate, regular features are changed frequently......and it has a host with an instinct for what (and who) sells.
Hannity's show is boring. Like his radio program it has uninspired, idea-less, lazy producers who have no idea how to make Hannity look better than he is.
As an aside, although I liked Glenn Beck's TV hour, the Beck radio program rates "the worst" title because it's three hours of torturous silliness and disorganized chirping, signifying nothing.

The Hannity Options (all times Eastern):
1. Hannity at 7:00. Replacing the boring Shep.
1a. 8:00 is O'Reilly forever.
1b. 9:00 is Megyn
2. Hannity at 10:00. Greta at 10:00 could be bumped to 11:00.
3. Hannity at 11:00. O'Reilly repeat at 11:00 could be bumped to 12:00.
4. Hannity says BYE-BYE to Fox and moves to MSNBC or CNN.
5. Hannity says BYE-BYE to TV.
These are the only practical options for Hannity.
Hannity at 10? Maybe Greta at 7 could work. Megan will do well at 9. She’s incredibly intelligent and quick witted and doesn’t bully her guests around like Sean. I wonder if they threw a “quit having kids” clause at her under the table. Prime time isn’t exactly a slot you can just take maternity leave from and keep it.
Maybe Neil Cavuto is going to Fox Biz only...and we’re STILL stuck with Shep 2X each day.... :-(
Hannity punished for going against amnesty, while O’Reilly has towed the line?
She came from CNN. Ever read her comments on the move? No way she’d go back. She loves the freedom and support FOX gives her
Megyn Kelly will reportedly be taking the 9 p.m. Fox News primetime spot currently occupied by Sean Hannity, according to the Drudge Report:
The shock announcement is set for later this month.
Its all about Megyn, an insider explains. She is the new face of cable news. She has it all!
Fox announced last month that Kelly was moving to the networks primetime lineup but did not announce a new show for her. Fox said at the time it had signed long-term deals with all of its evening anchors and hosts, including Hannity.
A Fox News spokeswoman did not immediately return a request for comment from TheBlaze.

I love his radio program and his TV program.
The radio program has really gotten a lot lot better.
I rarely watch Hannity, Greta. Never watch O’Reilly .
I did watch part 1 of Greta’s interview of Rush.
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 would rather see Oreily go the way of the dodo bird. I am tired of his one sided slant.
Won’t happen. Like Bret Baier at 6, Shep’s 7 show is considered news not opinion. One of the plusses for Fox that cannot be denied is that their news programming is actual news and their opinion programs are clearly identified as such. Megyn’s afternoon show is news, so I wonder how she will be asked to adjust given that this new show is in the opinion cycle, especially if Hannity moves to 10.
