Former Fox News star Greta Van Susteren has joined MSNBC.
She is the second high profile female Fox anchor to make the leap from Fox to NBC News in as many days.
Megyn Kelly joined the network on Wednesday. But unlike Kelly — who is expected to appear mostly on the bigger broadcast network, Susteren is sticking with cable news.
She will anchor a new evening show called “For the Record with Greta,” MSNBC executives said.
“Greta is a true pro with a proven record of tough journalism,” Phil Griffin, president of MSNBC, said in a statement. “Her broad range of experience and sharp news judgment will be of great value to MSNBC as we build on our momentum going into a new year and a new administration.”
Van Susteren, who had hosted a show called “On The Record,” shocked fans in September with news that she was suddenly leaving the network after 14 years because FNC had not felt like “home to me for years.”
Van Susteren joined Fox in 2002 after more than a decade as a legal analyst at CNN where she had gained notoriety for her on-air analysis of the O.J. Simpson trial.
