TSSZNews 1051 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Reminds me a bit of some years back when Shep did a series of primetime news specials on FOX. That was when the hot rumor was that FNC wanted to attempt a national news broadcast on the network. This feels more like trying to capitalize on Megyn in the news lately.

Eat News 4745 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I think she is trying to take Barbara Walters spot as a celeb interviewer. I bet she does well.

rkolsen 1684 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I think she is trying to take Barbara Walters spot as a celeb interviewer. I bet she does well.Especially with Bill Geddie producing. I thought he was still with ABC.

Rusty Muck 4378 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 This is obviously Fox News trying to keep Megyn Kelly in the fold. She would have every reason in the world to jump ship, all of which are tied to a Mr. Drumpf and his minions constantly attacking her, and Mr. Ailes outright failing at defending her. As for more Fox News programming on Fox proper, there's no way in the world that's going to happen. Affiliates would rebel (especially those who actively seek to distance themselves from Fox News) and it would cannibalize the 55-dead demo that tunes into O'Reilly every night.

MidwestTV 1232 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 But where the hell would she even jump ship to? Al Jazeera America? Russia Today? Fox News is pretty much the best and only place for her.

OMG... You might be right. She actually may have stereotyped herself. Q: Can the shark jump itself ?

And the only affiliates that wouldn't rebel would be the Fox O&Os and all the Fox affiliates owned by Sinclair and maybe Nexstar, but most other Fox affiliates would rebel and threaten to disaffiliate from Fox and switch to another affiliation Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15050-megyn-kelly-hosting-special-for-fox-broadcasting-network/#findComment-150530 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not always about the FOX (Fox News Channel's) conservative slant. Adding any [new] programming to the mothership will require affiliates to clear that hour/half hour from their schedule. Which in many cases means that the affiliates are losing money via lost ads and other things. Unless the network is willing to cover those monetary losses, I doubt the FOX affiliates will be reluctant to part with that half hour/hour from their schedule.

That would be like downgrading from a Ferrari to a Crown Victoria. FOX and MSNBC trounce CNN. They would have to match her salary at FOX and give her more perks, much like they did for Alisyn Camerota .

Rusty Muck 4378 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 That would be like downgrading from a Ferrari to a Crown Victoria. FOX and MSNBC trounce CNN. Depends. CNN has actually had a larger ratings boost than Fox and MSNBC have during this election cycle, and that's mainly without live programming during the 9pm hour. (I would be safe to say that this is overall viewing, not specific timeslots... that's gotta be a whole other ballgame clearly in Fox's favor.) I am interested to see if this is a fluke, or hints of a trend. The ideological schism in Fox's target audience can't really be helping them that much, especially if one side is vowing to 'boycott' the network because they are too favorable/critical of a certain used car salesman disguised as a presidential candidate.

And as you already know she makes way more than Camerota ever did. Do you think CNN will really come up with that dough? It will be a heck of a lot more than a match in salary, corner office and new coffee pot. It would be the "Megan Kelly CNN with Megan Kelly Managing Editor, Senior VP of news for the next 20 years no questions asked, no cuts...I run the entire operation, Zuker is my bitch CNN." I don't think CNN could handle her. Beyond that... I will not even dare to speculate on this one.
