NBC just agreed to pay her $15-$20 million/year for an unspecified number of multiple years. I think it is very unlikely they will bench her after a few months, no matter how disappointing her ratings might be.
I am confused though about what her weekday show is supposed to be - is it a "women's show" like The View or Kelly Rippa, or an opinion show like her Fox News show, or The Factor? And how does either show fit with her apparent role as one of BNC News' top journalists?
