Tamron Hall fans are venting their frustrations that NBC has decided to replace her and co-anchor Al Roker on “Today” with former Fox News mainstay Megyn Kelly.
In the wake of that decision, Hall declined a new multiyear contract and decided to leave the network and MSNBC altogether; her last day on air for both networks was Tuesday. Al Roker will continue to co-host “Today” during the 9 a.m. hour until a new morning lineup begins this fall that includes Kelly.
Hall’s supporters are crying foul over the move, with one writing, “Not a good way to start Black History Month.”
Another said, “Y’all replacing Tamron Hall for racist apologist, Megan Kelly? Keep it.”

Tamron Hall is one of the few black women we see on daytime national television. How many other WOC have we lost in top roles?
