Tucker New Cable King Gets 9 PM Fox News
Drudge Report ^ | Jan. 5, 2016

2017 starts off with a BANG! as FOX NEWS executives will announce Tucker Carlson replaces the vacating Megyn Kelly at 9 PM ET, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

The dramatic move caps Carlson's rapid rise at the nation's top-rated cable channel.

"Tucker has already proven to be an audience powerhouse at 7 PM, now sky is the limit!" an insider explains.

"FOX NEWS will not be tamed."

In recent weeks, the Carlson show hit #1 audience and demo with a mix of explosive interviews and hard-hitting topics.

Timing isn't everything in the business, it's the only thing, and Carlson arrives just as the Trump presidency begins.

The broadcast wunderkind previously anchored shows on CNN, MSNBC and PBS.

Tucker Carlson taking over Kelly’s spot starting Monday. Martha MacCallum will be taking over Carlson’s previous slot. Hers will be a temporary position as host of a program called “The First 100 Days”. I guess Fox will see how her ratings do there, but I’m still hoping for Kimberly Guilfoyle to ultimately get that particular timeslot.

All in all, good business moves on Fox’s part. It may be they’ve become more concerned about growing their ratings than about pushing the establishment GOP party line.

Would not shed many tears if she were gone as well. Perhaps a new vocation....dog trainer?, would be a nice fit.

I think the interviewee can’t see the faces he’s making at them - it’s part of the schtick.

My mom knows Sandra Smith and was hoping she would take over Kelly’s show.

I agree .. I had the same problem. I have been praying ever since I heard that Megyn was leaving. The 9pm spot plays at 6pm here on the West Coast.

This is just the greatest news.

Is it just me .. or is FOX really beginning to realize that America is not made up of LEFTISTS ..?????

Yeah, I love Dobbs and Varney .. they have such a great sense of humor .. and they seem to be having fun - not so serious all the time.

And .. I like their guests; not so many lefties.

I’ve been watching Tucker on Fox&Friends/Weekend for quite a while. I always loved how he laughed at some of the crazy stuff the liberals would say.

But, it’s good to have him at 6pm PT.

I heard that he was getting paid $180 million a year.

That's nearly $500,000 a day and $3.5 million a week.

Not too shabby.
