Al Roker Fed Up with NBC?


Last week NBC news corespondent Tamron Hall walked away from a $2 million deal after her top-rated morning show with Al Roker was canceled to make room Fox News' Megyn Kelly [click here if you missed that].

Is Al Roker the next to go..?

From The Daily Mail
The news of their cancellation was announced to Roker and Hall on same day it was confirmed that they had beaten Live with Kelly in the key demo for the month of January, according to an insider.
And they had won they key demo for eight straight weeks when Today decided to inform them of the [Megyn] Kelly news.
Al and Tamron were told Friday after Today ended and just a few mins before she was going on air to host MSNBC live. 
Hall walked away from the money on Tuesday - leaving her cohost not too happy.
'Al's upset because it's his friend, but he's also upset because he lost the show. And this is the second time the network has done this to him,' a network source told Dailymail.com. 
NBC is said to have paid upwards of $12 million to woo Megyn Kelly away from Fox.
