Her bottom line was $20 million, which Fox had already guaranteed in a renewed contract. But I'm sure Fox was toxic after the Roger Ailes sexual harassment episode, and I think perhaps to some extent Kelly's controversy with conservatives on her treatment of Donald Trump was an issue. Obviously, for her it was time to move on.

Also, all over Memeorandum.Update: @MegynKelly spokeswoman says she WILL host her show tonight... Her last day on Fox will be this Friday https://t.co/R5l5mS2MAv— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) January 3, 2017
ADDED: Stelter, speaking on CNN, said the "bottom line here" is that Kelly wanted to get away from Fox News, to the point of taking a pay cut to do so. Apparently, she's going to have a roving "Katie Couric-type role" at NBC, and better hours, so she can spend more time with her family.
