Ms. Kelly is being considered for a time slot at 9 or 10 a.m., for a show that is expected to begin in the fall. Ms. Kelly’s apparent move to the morning, which Variety reported earlier, removes her from the tricky minefield of syndicated daytime TV. If Ms. Kelly locked up the 9 a.m. hour, it would also set up an intriguing battle royal that would pit her against another longtime morning host, ABC’s Kelly Ripa. Fox News has not missed a beat since Ms. Kelly left her 9 p.m. time slot. Tucker Carlson, who replaced Ms. Kelly this month, has seen big ratings gains in the busy news weeks since his debut.
