She added that, if the accusations were true, “then he shouldn’t be on TV.”
Without Mr. O’Reilly for the first time in 20 years, Fox News reconfigured its prime-time
lineup, moving Tucker Carlson from 9 p.m. to Mr. O’Reilly’s 8 p.m. slot.
“He could be innocent,” he added, “but why did he resign or whatever?”
In cities across the country — and even under the same roof — Mr. O’Reilly’s fans have had mixed reactions to his ouster amid revelations
that he and the network had paid five women a total of about $13 million to settle accusations of sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior against him.

and they enjoyed what they described as Mr. O’Reilly’s “biting commentary” and “different perspective.”
“We will miss him very much,” Ms. Bradley, 61, said.
He had considered Mr. O’Reilly a hero, he said, and was unwilling to invest time and energy on another television personality — and on Fox News.
