Instead, she is launching her own video podcast, just like O’Reilly, whose subscription service to show “No Spin News” has proven to be vastly profitable. Kelly has also been looking at office space in Midtown to build up her “Kelly brand” and get her teeth back into the news business ahead of the 2020 election.

A source said despite her often-contentious relationship with O’Reilly at Fox News, she has taken a close interest in his money-making media business. Kelly also hopes to produce documentaries and continue her mission to support victims of sexual harassment.

The source said, “Megyn has been talking to a lot of powerful media execs. When you love what you do, it’s hard to stay away for too long,” adding that her stint on Carlson’s show reminded viewers that she firmly belongs back in news.
