The word is that Gretchen Carlson is going to Meg Kelly's slot when Meg Kelly moves to some unannounced evening time slot. Apparently, the newly hired Elizabeth Hasselbeck with become the morning Fox on the Fox and Friends couch.
Whither goeth Meg Kelley.
1. Not replacing O'Reilley, Hannity, or Greta. Unless one of those are announcing retirement or a new partnership (Hannity and Kelly?), neither of which seems likely to me, then she'll not be replacing those flagship programs for Fox News.
2. That leaves 2 evening slots, one I like but don't watch, and the other of which I don't like and don't watch, respectively "Brett Baier" and "Shep Smith".
Baier is the traditional news program, the 6 o'clock time slot that is supposed to be hard news. I don't see him leaving. I'd like to watch his show more -- I even like it -- but 6 o'clock is seldom available to me, and he is on only that one time.
Shep, on the other hand, has 2 shows, and that alone makes his evening slot the most vulnerable. Besides that, his show just isn't that interesting. He isn't either. That makes Smith a weaker lead in for O'Reilly than it possibly could be under Megyn Kelly.
Gotta be Shep...he has a daytime slot...so why two. That would be a good move.
Ditto. I have no reason whatsoever to watch FNC.
Megyn and Sean would be my preference.
“Hannity and Kelly” if you will.
I've just about had it with Fox News. I'm waiting to see what this new news channel that recently launched on July 4th will be like. Fox is virtually unwatchable on weekends and just about the same for every day of the week. I use CNS a lot and the only time I put Fox on is if I want to see live video of an ongoing event.

Agreed smith should go. If he were only a fraction as smart as he thinks he is he would put Einstein to shame.
Martha MacCallum does a fine job and is easy on the eyes as well. Would like to see her weekdays.
Greta does a good job. Move her up an d ditch oriller. He usually ruins the evening.
Ditto Shep at 7 replacement
