Megyn Kelly and Candace Owens have snagged a huge $400 million deal with CBS for a new morning show to rival ABC’s The View. It’s one of the biggest TV deals ever and marks a bold new time in daytime shows, with a focus on conservative views shaking things up.
Sources say the new show will go head-to-head with The View, a liberal daytime talk show. Kelly and Owens, two big conservative voices today, will offer a different take that mainstream TV has missed. CBS is banking on their star power and the drama they bring to get big ratings and media buzz.
The Kelly-Owens team-up is a shock but makes sense. Kelly, an old hand from Fox and NBC, has been a media lightning rod. After leaving NBC over a blackface row, she’s back with CBS, ready to reclaim her place in conservative media.
Owens is a fearless commentator, known for speaking her mind and taking on hot topics from BLM to feminism. Her sharp attacks on left ideas and push for conservatism have won her a huge online fan base. Paired with Kelly’s journalism skills, CBS has a strong plan to take on The View.
