Megyn Kelly Getting Sean Hannity's 9 PM Slot: Drudge Report

598 views

When Fox News announced that Megyn Kelly was going to be moving from daytime to primetime, it did not specify what hour she would be taking over.

According to a 'flash' from Matt Drudge on Thursday, that hour is 9 PM — which is better-known as the time when Sean Hannity's show airs.

Drudge cited anonymous 'top sources' in his report, and said that the announcement would be made later in August.

The big question, if the report were to prove true, would be what happens to Hannity. He is signed to a long-term contract that will reportedly keep him on the network through the 2016 election. His other prime-time colleagues, Bill O'Reilly and Greta Van Susteren, are also signed for years. Recently, Van Susteren responded to rumors that she would be bumped by Kelly by saying she had a contract for a daily, primetime show.

UPDATE: Fox News chief Roger Ailes dropped some big hints about what changes might be afoot during an interview on Thursday. Ailes said that he has been working with Shep Smith, who anchors the network's 3 and 7 PM hours, on a 'a new way to deliver news' that would be unveiled in September—just around the time Kelly returns from maternity leave. This raised the possibility that Smith would also be involved in whatever changes Kelly's ascension prompts..

  • Watch Megyn Kelly Will Take Over Fox’s 9PM Primetime Slot, According To Drudge Video
    Megyn Kelly Will Take Over Fox’s 9PM Primetime Slot, According To Drudge

    Last month we learned that Megyn Kelly was leaving her daytime anchor gig to take over a Fox News primetime slot. According to an “exclusive” Drudge Report flash this afternoon, that time slot will be 9 p.m. ET.

    “Superstar newswoman Megyn Kelly has landed the 9 PM slot, top sources reveal,” the Drudge Report wrote. “The shock announcement is set for later this month.”

    Fox’s 9 p.m. hour is currently helmed by Sean Hannity, leading to speculation over whether he could be out of a primetime gig.

    There are many possible outcomes from this lineup change, but here are some of the most likely: Hannity moves to 10 p.m., pushing Greta Van Susteren up to the 7 p.m. currently inhabited by Shepard Smith‘s second show of the day. Or Van Susteren keeps the 10 p.m. slot and Hannity moves to 7 p.m., becoming Bill O’Reilly‘s new lead-in. Or Van Susteren moves to weekend primetime, despite previous reports suggesting she is signed for a “daily” show.

    We’ll keep an eye on this story for any further developments…

    Drudge: Megyn Kelly Set to Replace Sean Hannity on Fox Prime-Time

    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.

    Matt Drudge Is Really Excited About Megyn Kelly

    Fedora-wearing recluse Matt Drudge, in typically cryptic and hyperbolic fashion, tweeted last month, 'Big shakeup at FOXNEWS this fall will have everyone buzzing, in all directions. A million words will be written...' Today he backed it up, sort of — although he's never to be fully trusted — with a report claiming that the network's shooting star Megyn Kelly will be moving to the 9 p.m. time slot, a 'shock announcement' that will be Fox's first prime-time change in a decade. (Things might be getting a little stale.) Drudge being Drudge, he strategically left out the juiciest part: Stalwart blowhard Sean Hannity owns the nine o'clock hour and is signed with Fox News through 2016. 'It's all about Megyn,' an 'insider' told Drudge. 'She is the new face of cable news. She has it all!' Only 999,900 words to go.
    Update: 'We will neither confirm nor deny any programming schedule changes,' a Fox News spokesperson told Fox News. '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.'

    Megyn Kelly reportedly taking over 9 p.m. slot in Fox News prime time lineup

    Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes announced last month that Kelly would move to a prime time position when she returned from maternity leave.
    Now the Drudge Report says she'll take over the 9pm ET slot in the prime time lineup, but Fox News isn't spilling the beans.
    A Fox News spokesperson said no official announcement would be made at this time.
    “We will neither confirm nor deny any programming schedule changes,' the spokesperson said. '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.”
    Kelly recently gave birth to her third child, a baby boy named Thatcher Bray Brunt.
    She joined Fox News in 2004 and has anchored 'America Live' since February 2010. She also appears weekly on 'The O'Reilly Factor' in a segment titled 'The Kelly File.'

    8/8/13 - 'Hannity says: 'He's leaving it out there to figure it out.'' That the inscrutable quote Sean Hannity predicted would be picked up in the press after he coyly dismissed the rumors that Megyn Kelly's ascension to his 9pm time slot could mean anything bad for his career. Without giving anything about his own future away, Hannity said he's 'very happy' with the result.

    'By the way has there been any news today on the Drudge Report?' Hannity asked his radio show co-hosts today. 'Anything I missed?' He said, 'I am actually enjoying people that really don't know a whole lot, just going nuts. So I'm going to leave it there, just for fun. And these comments will be picked up now. Hannity says: 'He's leaving it out there to figure it out.' Let's just say in the end I'm very happy. That's all I can say at this point.'

    'Because everybody thinks they know everything and they don't,' Hannity continued. 'It's pretty funny. I love people speculating. And of course the Hannity haters come out in full force: 'I hate Hannity. I can't stand him. He's dumb. He's stupid. He's a right wing nut job.' I love that, too. And if I wasn't hated, I wouldn't be doing my job now would I?'

    Sean Hannity Responds To Megyn Kelly Primetime Rumor

    Sean Hannity reacted to the rumor that Fox News' Megyn Kelly would be taking over his 9:00 p.m. time slot in prime time.

    According to Thursday's Drudge Report, 'top sources' said that Kelly would be moving to Hannity's 9:00 p.m. hour and that the announcement would be made later in August.

    Hannity also reacted to the rumor on Thursday, but did not confirm or deny its validity. 'I am actually enjoying people that really don’t know a whole lot, just going nuts. So I’m going to leave it there, just for fun,' Hannity said on his radio show. 'Let's just say in the end, I'm very happy. That's all I can say at this point.'

    TVNewser reported that Fox News chief Roger Ailes addressed the rumor during a 21st Century Fox investors conference on the same day, saying that he would not comment on Kelly's primetime gig. He did tease upcoming announcements that not only seemed to impact Kelly and Hannity, but Fox News' beloved daytime and cable primetime host, Shep Smith. While the network's specific plans remain a mystery, one thing is quite clear: the number one cable news network that has not touched its prime time lineup in many years is about to implement some major changes.
