Rupert Murdoch, the executive chairman of 21st Century Fox, released a statement about Megyn Kelly’s departure from Fox News. “We thank Megyn Kelly for her 12 years of contributions to FOX News,” the statement read. "We hope she enjoys tremendous success in her career and wish her and her family all the best.” The network also announced that Kelly will be hosting The Kelly File through Friday, January 6.
The usual default answer (money) does not appear to apply here. Kelly had a generous offer to stay -- $25 million to stay, although depending on the reports, that figure may have materialized late in the Fox negotiation. But either $20 or $25 million -- almost certainly much less at NBC
NBC said it had agreed to a “multi-year agreement,” with Kelly, whom they described as “one of America’s most prominent news anchors.” Just a thought.
