Bill O'Reilly, to his credit, didn't take the firing by Fox News laying down. He soon started a podcast in his home wearing a casual polo shirt.
He went live tonight with a new studio complete with scrolling marquee at the bottom of the podcast video and wearing a suit like he did on "The Factor". He clearly has a crew working behind the scenes and it's located in an office building somewhere by the looks of it. It looks very professional, and while it is a startup at this point, it could turn into a network at some point.
For all who are going to jump in and say BOR sucks or whatever, fine, get it off your chest if you really must.
Heck, I don't like him all the time, but I can see he has been a friend to conservatives far more often than not.
Well I’m glad to hear this. I hope it does well and he’ll be able to bring some good talent to it. The Murdoch brothers and their wives are running FoxNews into the ground and sweet justice would be them going under and BOR rising to the top.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Bye.
Who knows what positions he’ll take now that he doesn’t have anyone breathing down his neck?
We’ll see, if he goes ahead with this.
If he doesn’t ride the fence like he did too often on “The Factor”, he should do well.
With a couple of wealthy partners, he could purchase some cable network and be back in business.
In fact, I think that's what he's going to do.
But he has to have a show that appears on the general spectrum of channels...one that the viewing public already has on their TVs (like Fox, CNN, etc.) not some channel that can't be brought up on the average viewer's TV or that you have to view on a computer in another room, or that you have to pay for...well, you get my drift.

This thing is going to fail if it is premium membership based.
He needs to figure out a way to monetize with ads.
Cable TV is/will be dead, but yeah... He’ll probably survive.
Great point.
Grammar police can take a hike with that kind of vulgar, classless insults. That tasteless slur sounds like something a liberal would say.
BILL O’REILLY SUCKS OR WHATEVER.
There, I feel so much better now.
Right on!
I agree with both of you. This pay site stuff isn’t going to work for the masses. His is the only site I subscribe to and am only giving it one year for now. I think he got a raw deal from Fox which is why I decided to give him a year subscription. ($55)
I think his goal is to get a full-on legit network with ad revenue and all. I wish OANN would also do that.
On the other hand people are dropping cable and satellite like flies and going with online programming in many different ways that I don’t really want to go into here other than to say Amazon and Netflix have streaming services that are doing pretty well. What I like is either no commercials or few commercials and short ones at that. Maybe he could partner with a streaming service like ROKU that people pay for that includes his podcasts and whatever else he puts out there so it can be watched when the person has time for it and not like Fox News where it comes on at a certain time. A lot is put on YouTube afterward though.
You are a classless act.
:)
They unwittingly did him a favor as I believe it will one day be made plain.
Huge networks and BUGGY WHIPS, I say.
Why did Letterman retire..?
He once blurted it out in a rage:
“No one can compete with YOUTUBE VIDS..!!!”
And it’s the TRUTH.
