Fox News rising star Megyn Kelly is going to take over the prime-time
slot currently helmed by talk superstar Sean Hannity, a huge shift in
the conservative news channel's programming,
according to the Drudge Report.
"It's all about Megyn," an inside source at Fox told Drudge. "She is the new face of cable news. She has it all!"
It would be the first major prime-time change in the leading cable news channel's lineup in a decade.
So far, no other major news organization is reporting the item. Matt
Drudge cited anonymous "top sources" in his report Thursday afternoon,
adding that the announcement would be made later in August.
Fox issued a statement shortly after the Drudge Report story appeared:
"We will neither confirm nor deny any programming schedule changes. As
previously stated, the network has signed long-term deals with Megyn
Kelly, Bret Baier, Shepard Smith, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Greta
Van Susteren."
But it's clear changes are coming. The big question is, where does
Hannity go? He is signed to a long-term contract that will reportedly
keep him on the network through the 2016 election, the Huffington Post
reported. Fox prime-time's other stars, Bill O'Reilly and Greta Van
Susteren, are also locked in to years-long contracts.
