<p>NEW YORK (AP) &#8212; Megyn Kelly, the Fox News star who&#8217;s had a contentious relationship with President-elect Donald Trump, said Tuesday that she&#8217;s leaving the network for NBC News, where she will host a daytime talk show, a weekend newsmagazine and contribute to breaking news coverage.</p><p>NBC News made the announcement Tuesday, ending months of speculation over whether she would re-up with Fox, where she has flourished while suffering bruised feelings in recent months, or start a new chapter in her career. Her contract with Fox expires this summer. It was initially unclear when she would leave the Fox airwaves and appear on NBC.</p><p>Kelly&#8217;s departure deprives Fox News of its second-most-watched host, behind only Bill O&#8217;Reilly, and a hole at 9 p.m. in its prime-time lineup.</p><p>&#8220;While I will greatly miss my colleagues at Fox, I am delighted to be joining the NBC News family and taking on a new challenge,&#8221; Kelly said in a message on Twitter on Tuesday.</p><p>Kelly became one of Fox&#8217;s hottest properties and a flashpoint in the presidential campaign after Trump objected to her questioning in the first Republican presidential debate a year and a half ago. He tweeted angry messages about her and boycotted another Fox debate after the network refused to replace her as one of the debate moderators.</p><p>She also became a central figure in the downfall of former Fox News chief Roger Ailes, telling in-house investigators of inappropriate conduct by Ailes that supported women who had made similar accusations.</p><p>Details about Kelly&#8217;s new jobs at NBC will be revealed in upcoming months, said Andrew Lack, chairman of the NBC Universal News Group.</p><p>&#8220;Megyn is an exceptional journalist and news anchor, who has had an extraordinary career&#8221; Lack said. &#8220;She&#8217;s demonstrated tremendous skill and poise, and we&#8217;re lucky to have her.&#8221;</p><p>The move was first reported by The New York Times.</p><style>
