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

Source: Huffington Post

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.

Rumor has it that Shep Smith might lose his 7 PM show (keeping his 3 PM show) to make room for a revised prime time lineup. If that is the case it would be too bad because Shep is probably the only half way reasonable anchor on that network.

And MSNBC and CNN also both get a majority of their viewers from the older demographic as well.

the week of July 22nd for instance, FNC was the 4th most watched cable network. I wouldn't call 4th place "low ratings."
