Megyn Kelly’s Growing Media Empire: New Network Launch and Political Controversies

Media Empire Expansion

Megyn Kelly is expanding her media presence with the launch of her own podcast network, MK Media. This new venture comes four years after establishing her successful radio show and podcast on SiriusXM. The network will focus on news, current events, and pop culture programming.

The initial lineup includes three shows: ‘Next Up’ hosted by veteran journalist Mark Halperin, ‘The Nerve’ by former entertainment writer Maureen Callahan, and ‘Spot On’ by political influencer Link Lauren.

Recent Political Controversy

Kelly recently made headlines in a clash with California Governor Gavin Newsom after he used her previous Trump criticism in his online campaign. In response, Kelly criticized Newsom on her YouTube show, suggesting he should focus on his constituents rather than posting clips of her show.

Nationwide Tour Announcement

Kelly has announced an ambitious coast-to-coast tour of The Megyn Kelly Show this fall, featuring all-star guests. The tour promises ‘an evening of no BS, no agenda, and no fear,’ with tickets going on sale September 10th, 2025.

Professional Background and Achievements

Kelly’s prominence in journalism stems from her coverage of major U.S. and international news events over the past decade. Her career at Fox News from 2004 to 2017 included moderating six presidential debates, with particular recognition for her tough questioning during the first Republican primary debate in 2015.

Her impressive interview portfolio includes world leaders such as Vladimir Putin, Narendra Modi, and Benjamin Netanyahu, along with numerous celebrities. Kelly’s influence has been recognized by Time Magazine, which named her among the 100 most influential people in the world, and she has been featured on Vanity Fair’s New Establishment List and Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment Power 100.
