Megyn Kelly is a household name to all Fox viewers and conservatives alike. I remember first seeing the spunky blonde when I was in seventh grade, when I wandered upstairs to see what my parents were watching. Ever since then I’ve grown to recognize the look and professional voice she has grown famous for. Next to Bill O'Reilly, host of "The O'Reilly Factor," she hosts the most watched program on Fox and one of the most popular news shows on cable. But, sadly, her twelve-year career on the network is coming to a close after she announced that she will be leaving the news giant for NBC.

This doesn’t come at a complete surprise, given her recent remarks and opinions during the election toward then-candidate Donald Trump. She received the backlash of many conservatives who believed she was out to undermine the president-elect. NBC tends to sway more towards the center, which many argue is the direction Kelly herself is floating towards.

Tucker Carlson will be replacing Kelly in the 9p.m. anchor position starting January 9^th. Carlson emphasizes the programs urge to secure its spot as the conservative network and is staying true to their original values. He had gotten his start as a co-host of “Cross Fire” on CNN, running until 2005, where he represented the conservative Americans. Carlson, recently, replaced Greta Van Susteren at 7p.m. and according to "The Wall Street Journal," “His average audience of 2.8 million viewers beats both CNN and MSNBC combined” (Joe Flint).

This change could set up Fox for attacks, due to the fact there are no nightly female anchors, but it would be quite hypocritical for anyone to be sexist to a man, just hired to do his job. This change will be good for the cable network, and the content itself. Allowing new faces on the show would attract some new viewers.

As for Kelly, her move to NBC could be positive for audiences alike. Her conservative leaning view may just help represent what little conservative views she has left in her. Making the transition to a more center-left news organization where the conservative viewpoint is all but non-existent, a little sprinkle of a center-right viewpoint may ultimately be what NBC needs to be competitive with Fox News.

I truly wish Megyn Kelly the best and pray for all the success at NBC, and I welcome Tucker Carlson to the Fox News Network family. They are both great individuals who will no doubt contribute great content to both networks. With the new president coming into office in just a few short weeks, there will for sure be plenty to report.

Now all we can do is hold onto our seats, pray, and see how it all pans out.
