Report: Megyn Kelly to 9 p.m.

Fox News daytime host Megyn Kelly’s switch to prime time will land her in Sean Hannity’s 9 p.m. slot, according to a report on Thursday.

The announcement about Kelly’s move will come later this month, according to a flash from Drudge Report. Fox News announced last month that Kelly would be making the jump to prime time, but didn't say which time slot she would be taking over.

Fox Host Eric Bolling had some fun on Twitter with the announcement, tweeting: “ALERT! ... Some bad news for Rachel!” with a link to the Drudge announcement. Rachel Maddow is the MSNBC host during the 9 p.m. hour. Bolling also went after CNN host Piers Morgan, tweeting: “Having a bad day?… Not as bad as Piers,” and again linking to the report.

Morgan responded to the news with challenge, tweeting, “Bring it on, @megynkelly”.

There’s so far no word on what will happen to Hannity, who reportedly has a contract with Fox through the 2016 elections.

Asked about the report at a 21st Century Fox investors conference, Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes said he wouldn’t comment on the “rumor,” but added, “All of our stars will be back,” TV Newser reported.

A Fox News representative did not return requests for comment on this story.
