Megyn Kelly and Candace Owens Sign $700 Million Deal With CBS to Face Off Against ‘The View
In a bold move set to shake up daytime television, former Fox News host Megyn Kelly and conservative commentator Candace Owens have signed a groundbreaking $700 million deal with CBS. The deal is poised to pit the duo against ABC’s long-running talk show, *The View*, a show known for its liberal-leaning panel and strong viewership.
Kelly and Owens, both prominent figures in conservative media, will host a new talk show targeting a similar demographic but with a distinctly right-leaning perspective. The deal underscores CBS’s ambitions to tap into a more conservative audience, capitalizing on the growing divide in American media consumption along political lines.
The new show, still in development, will combine political analysis with cultural commentary, giving Kelly and Owens a platform to challenge the narrative often presented on *The View* and other mainstream shows. With their established followings and reputations for bold commentary, the duo is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the daytime TV landscape.
This significant investment reflects CBS’s confidence in the potential for conservative-leaning programming to capture large audiences. As traditional networks grapple with declining viewership and the rise of streaming platforms, Kelly and Owens’ new show could be a game-changer in the competitive daytime television market.
