Drudge is reporting, based on anonymous "top sources," that Megyn Kelly will take Fox News' 9 PM ET slot when she returns from maternity leave. So what will happen to Sean Hannity, whose Hannity show currently airs at that time? We don't know yet. But there's one thing his fans can probably count on. UPDATED.
The race baiting and Republican cheerleading Fox viewers have come to expect during that time slot will almost certainly continue with Megyn Kelly at the helm, but with blonder hair and leggier legs.
Actually, there's something else Hannity viewers can count on: he won't be leaving Fox. He and Bill O'Reilly recently signed multi-year, mulitimillion-dollar contracts. And Greta Van Susteren says her contract keeps her in prime time.
So who will leave prime time? Or will Kelly co-host with Hannity? And will this shake-up help draw younger viewers to Fox's off-the-ratings-chart geriatric audience? Stay tuned!
UPDATE: Roger Ailes told Neil Cavuto today, "All of our stars will be back" and hinted that Shepard Smith will be part of the shakeup.
