Scott Brown Staying with Fox News

An earlier report had said he was no longer under contract with the network.

Former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown is staying with Fox News, the network announced in a statement Wednesday.

"Senator Brown has renewed his contributor agreement with FOX News. The previous year long agreement expired on February 11th and was never terminated — this was purely administrative," said Bill Shine, Fox News' executive vice president of programming. "We look forward to his continuing political analysis and insight across the network."

The announcement came a day after a Boston Globe report saying that Brown was no longer under contract with the network. A Fox News spokeswoman reportedly told the newspaper that Brown was "currently out of contract with the network."

While that's technically true, all that really meant was that the contract hadn't yet been renewed.

Brown, who recently sold his Massachusetts home and moved to Rye, has been rumored to be a possible 2014 candidate for the U.S. Senate in New Hampshire. He is scheduled to appear on "Fox and Friends" on Fox News on Thursday morning.
