In a groundbreaking move that has already sent shockwaves through the television industry, CBS has secured a massive $400 million deal with two of the most prominent conservative voices, Megyn Kelly and Candace Owens. The pair is set to launch a brand-new talk show that will directly compete with ABC’s long-running and popular show, The View.
The upcoming show, which remains untitled for now, aims to provide a counterbalance to the more liberal-leaning discussions on The View and offer fresh perspectives on hot-button topics such as politics, culture, and current events. Kelly and Owens are no strangers to controversy, and this high-profile partnership is expected to generate fierce debate and strong reactions from both sides of the political spectrum.
“CBS wanted to create a platform that would truly challenge the current narrative dominating daytime television,” a source close to the deal revealed. “With Megyn and Candace at the helm, they believe this show will do exactly that.”
Both Kelly and Owens have expressed excitement about the new venture. Megyn Kelly, who rose to fame as a Fox News anchor before a brief stint with NBC, has always been known for her sharp commentary and no-nonsense interviews. She has been vocal about her desire to return to mainstream television and sees this new show as an opportunity to reignite her media career.
“I’m thrilled to partner with Candace on a project that will bring much-needed balance to daytime TV,” Kelly said in a statement. “We’re not afraid to tackle the tough issues head-on, and this show will be a platform for real conversations.”
Candace Owens, a political commentator and author, echoed Kelly’s sentiments, promising to deliver an alternative to what she describes as the “echo chamber” of mainstream media. “This show will be unapologetic, just like us,” Owens said. “We’re here to push boundaries, challenge ideas, and give a voice to those who feel silenced.”
Industry insiders expect the show to be a ratings powerhouse, given the star power and strong opinions of its hosts. With a debut planned for next year, the anticipation is already building, and it’s clear that this show will be a force to be reckoned with.
As Kelly and Owens prepare to go head-to-head with The View, fans and critics alike are eager to see how this bold move will reshape the daytime television landscape.
