Megyn Kelly 'meeting with ABC and NBC while considering lower-paying offers to leave $20m'

Megyn Kelly has reportedly been in talks with both ABC and NBC about the possibility of moving to a new network.

Her contract with Fox News is up in July, and the network has reportedly already offered her over $20million to stay.

CNN has also been trying to land Kelly over the past few months, with the hopes of putting her in their primetime line-up.

A source is claiming however that money 'may now be less of an issue' for Kelly, and she would take a job for less than was Fox News is offering.

Kelly has also reportedly been nicknamed 'Me-again' by some at Fox News due to her constant press appearances of recent to promote her new memoir.

She has been out promoting the book for four weeks now in addition to hosting her show, and had to sit out Thursday night's program due to a cold.

So these News people get paid 20-40 million dollars. How is this any different then them screaming about the pay of CEO’s? Seriously, an hour or two hours of TV time M-F and then get that kind of money?

[fedupjohn]

Please........Fox is not offering her 20 mil

That is her asking price!

Thank You!

Yes, I have started watching him, he’s a polite bull dog.

[varina davis]

Agree about Tucker Carlson. He has immeasurably brightened the FOX primetime line-up. Great debater and true conservative with a great sense of humor.

LOL did someone here come up with that first, it's perfect.

[Daffynition]

Wonder who will fill her time slot. The Newtster?

Still, that's better than Dana Perino promoting another book about her damn dog.

If she'd had a child of her own, she'd understand how ridiculous and shallow she looks, giving all that attention to a dog.

I love dogs. In fact, my son's Shepherd/Rot mix will never leave our house. She's a 90lb bundle of love in a 65 pound frame. She doesn't wag her tail, she wags her entire body, really gets into it. She'd be a perfect dog for Chubby Checker.

[Lisbon1940]

They should pay her to go.

[Vermont Lt]

I have two dogs and I would give up just about anything to protect them.

I COULD talk about my dogs all day long. But I am smart enough to know that no one else gives a shit about my dogs.

The networks don’t have the viewership to pay her salary.

And she won’t bring them in, either.

[Steve_Seattle]

"If leaves Fox and goes to CNN or ABC, her viewership will drop to nothing. Their audience cares nothing about her. In fact, they probably hate her."

My guess is that she would adapt to her new environment by moving left; the only question is, how far left, and would it be far enough to satisfy her new employers.

But, knowing how the left thinks, I would bet that many of her new viewers would regard her as irredeemably tainted by her years at Fox. Her only hope is that they would see her as a "convert" and absolve her of her sins. For that to happen, however, she would need to move very far to the left. They would not tolerate any departure from the party line.

LOL.

Absolutely ..... everybody knows Megyn doesn't care about money, she just wants to "speak truth to power"!

[bert]

I’ve seen no evidence the offer is still on the table. I believe she is shopping around to better the actually lowered offer. There was talk here the current offer was actually $12 million.

She has no leverage. She has proven she has no loyalty.

I think she is actually up the creek with no paddle

[Paladin2]

Witch is it? ;-)

[Col Freeper]

FR should arrange an "Over the Hill" party for Megyn.

The party will start as soon as she disappears over the hill.

[be-baw]

Kelly missed more than one day this week. I saw Martha McCallum on Tuesday or Wednesday and one of the interchangeable Barbies last night.

[Paladin2]

Witch is it? ;-)

[RetSignman]

Fox tried to boost their income but the customers complained about her constant, uh, 'farding'.

[bert]

She is nearing the summit. At 46 there is no guarantee she can keep her looks. In spite of what she wants or does, at 45 she is going to begin a transition to a broad ass and general weight gain.

Many that have work done become visual freaks. The Crowley woman is an example. Were it not for her voice, she has become unrecognizable.

[PeteePie]

Never saw such a reasonably good looking person try so hard to become ugly - and succeed.
