Megyn Kelly has transitioned from a prominent legal career to a highly recognized journalist and media personality, known for her incisive interviewing style and commentary across news and talk formats.
The satellite radio giant has inked a new multiyear deal with the former Fox News host, a pact that will see Kelly get her own branded channel.
Former Fox News primetime star Megyn Kelly says that she is launching MK Media, a video and audio podcast network that will work with creators and journalists.
Kelly is affiliated with Red Seat Ventures, which supports other former Fox News hosts who have made a new career in the podcasting industry.
Megyn Marie Kelly was born on November 18, 1970, in Champaign, Illinois. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Syracuse University in 1992 and a Juris Doctor from Albany Law School in 1995, where she was an editor of the Albany Law Review. Beginning her career as an associate attorney at Bickel & Brewer LLP and later at Jones Day for nine years, Kelly transitioned into journalism in 2003 as a general assignment reporter for WJLA-TV in Washington, D.C. She covered significant national events, including Supreme Court confirmation hearings and presidential elections, rapidly establishing her presence in broadcast journalism.
Kelly joined Fox News in 2004, where she gained significant recognition. She hosted legal segments like ‘Kelly’s Court’ and contributed to ‘The O’Reilly Factor’ and ‘Special Report.’ Her career at Fox News escalated with her own two-hour afternoon show, ‘America Live,’ from 2010 to 2013, and later ‘The Kelly File,’ a prime-time program that often led in ratings. During her tenure, she moderated presidential primary debates, notably challenging then-candidate Donald Trump in 2015. Her work at Fox News earned her a place on Time’s list of the 100 most influential people in 2014 and 2016.
In 2017, Kelly moved to NBC News, hosting ‘Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly’ and ‘Megyn Kelly Today.’ After departing NBC in 2019, she ventured into independent media, launching her production company, Devil May Care Media, and ‘The Megyn Kelly Show’ podcast in 2020. This podcast later moved to SiriusXM and has achieved significant online viewership, positioning her as a leading figure in digital media. In 2025, she further expanded her independent ventures by launching MK Media, a podcast and video network, and co-hosted a Republican primary debate on NewsNation.
