NBC wants to be ‘the next Fox News,’ insiders say

[Madmallard]

Media insiders are buzzing that Andy Lack wants NBC to become “the next Fox News” after he poached cable stars Greta Van Susteren and Megyn Kelly from the network.

“He believes he’s building MSNBC and NBC into the next Fox. It seems the network wants to take a more conservative tone,” a source said.

Kelly was hired at NBC without an official time slot, but Page Six exclusively revealed she would be taking over the “9 a.m. or 10 a.m. hour” of “Today” in September.

We’re told she is getting paid about $12 million a year for the gig, which will include a Sunday talk show.

Some fear Kelly may not be worth the bucks since her Fox replacement Tucker Carlson nearly doubled her ratings on Fox News after her departure.

A rep for NBC said, “The only thing Andy Lack is interested in ‘tilting toward’ is even more good journalism.”

Greta's numbers are very low and Mygan Kelly will not be as popular now that she is off of Fox News.

MSNBC will not have success until they get rid of people like Madcow and others. They are a failure due to their content and attitudes.

They would need to remove more than half of their staff as well as about 75% of their quests.

So NBC wants to be despised by the left? Have at it!

Btw, Fox lost nothing. Tucker Carlson makes less money than Megyn and he is getting better ratings in her old time slot (because.....his show is better).
