As long teased by an excited Matt Drudge, Fox News is rearranging its prime-time lineup for mighty Megyn Kelly, giving her Sean Hannity’s 9 p.m. spot and moving him to 10 p.m. The Kelly File will premiere October 7, when On the Record With Greta Van Susteren shifts to the seven o’clock hour. “We’ve developed a deep bench of engaging and thought-provoking personalities that have grown with Fox News as it has evolved into the most influential and successful cable network in television,” said Roger Ailes in an announcement. The only person staying put is Bill O’Reilly, at 8 p.m., because he’d probably flip out otherwise.
