  • Megyn Kelly won't be on the air on NBC in the morning, and her show's future and Kelly's tenure at the network are in doubt, WSJ reports -- which would leave NBC and parent Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) with a poor return on a $69M investment.
  • That follows a Tuesday controversy over comments made on Kelly's program, where she questioned whether using blackface in Halloween costumes was racist or insensitive. That led to apologies from Kelly Tuesday and Wednesday.
  • NBC News had hired Kelly away from Fox News last year in a high-profile move that set her up to be a centerpiece of the lineup.
  • Her three-year deal was valued at $69M, but ratings haven't been what NBC wanted, and her Sunday evening magazine show came to an end.
