Megyn Kelly launching podcast network

Megyn Kelly is launching her own podcast network as she raises her profile in the political media world following a long career in the cable and network news business.

“MK Media,” will be a podcast network for video and audio shows launching in April and hosting creators in the news and entertainment space, the firebrand commentator announced on Tuesday.

The first few shows on MK Media will be hosted by independent journalist Mark Halperin, columnist Maureen Callahan, and influencer and political commentator Link Lauren with more to follow.

“I’m thrilled to launch MK Media and to use our platform to help sane, reasonable, good-humored people build their own followings in this new media space,” Kelly said in a statement. “I am a huge fan of Mark’s, Maureen’s and Link’s and I know our audience will be as excited as I am to hear more from them.”

Kelly launched her audio-only podcast in 2020, before signing a deal with SiriusXM in 2021 to become a live, daily radio show, and expand her video content.

Kelly’s show is among the most followed political podcasts in in the country — and clips from her monologues and interviews regularly drive hundreds of millions of views per month across social platforms.

A former Fox News host, Kelly is a vocal supporter of President Trump and earlier this year hosted his Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for a wide ranging interview amid a tough Senate confirmation fight.

Last month, Fox Corporation acquired Red Seat Ventures, which produces Kelly’s program and sells its advertising.
