Drudge: Megyn Kelly may jump to CNN

• thehill.com By Mark Hensch

CNN President Jeff Zucker is actively pursuing Kelly to anchor either an 8 or 9 p.m. slot, Drudge reported.

"He is moving the Himalayan Mountains to get her," a "top insider" said. "But they are tripped up on money. He simply can't pay her the $20 million a year Fox has on the table."

Zucker would compensate Kelly's salary with heavy promotion and synergy across all Time Warner networks besides CNN, according to a source involved in the proceedings.

"It's the opportunity of a lifetime," the source added. "She could even star in a movie at Warner Bros."

Drudge said "The Kelly File" host is mulling whether she should leave Fox before her contract ends in July 2017.

Kelly is reportedly "despised" by her on-air colleagues, and opinions of her have deteriorated further after the release of her new book last month.
