What would it do to FOX news?
Kill it hopefully
And give all us FOX expats an excuse to watch TV news again

I’m all for it, however I do not think he can do it as President.

Would seem like a conflict of interest even if it’s his family.

IF Trump lost (which I think he won’t), the Assange and O’Keefe materials alone could support a network’s investigative reporting for years.

If it is serious hard news, presented straight, and with a real budget? It will bury the others.

No screaming head shows.

Real investigative reporters that are not looking for fame.

No cheesy BREAKING NEWS graphics on everything like police chases.

No cheesy name for it.

This plays into the media talking point that he doesn’t really want to be president he is on for his brand

If Ivanka and her husband need something to do they should manning a phone bank in a battle ground state not this stuff

If Trump wins the election, I think a Trump-brand media network would be a necessity to have a chance at a successful presidency; otherwise, it will be all anti-Trump 24/7/365 by the alphabets, CNN, MSNBC, FOX .... any of the networks out there now & the favored guests would probably be the GOPe Establishment Republicans backstabbing Trump. The only network I wouldn’t include would be OAN.

Fox would be finished, and no one would miss it.

I imagine Sean Hannity will get the top slot and be made the director of communications.

Although I’d rather see him as Trump’s Press Spokesman.

While the Financial Times points out that squeezing another channel into a cable package would be difficult, Recode imagines it as an over-the-top service, calling a Trump channel "one that could rival or even supplant Fox News."

I don't see that as a problem. If a Trump News Network comes on the air and is done right, the other news networks will have ratings in the toilet (worse than the ratings CNN and MSNBC have now). Then the cable companies can just drop the worst performing one, like they did with Al Jazeera, to make room. What rational person is going to miss MSNBC, anyway?

Trump should buy Comcast, and own CNBC, NBC and MSNBC - he would make CNBC the preeminent business channel, and MSNBC could fire most everyone and he could rehire conservatives to knock FOX down a peg.

Fox’s great move was to position themselves slightly to the right of the others; half the country went to them while the other half was split between half a dozen news stations.

But honestly I don’t want a “slightly right of the others” news source, I’d like an honest one that went after stories that matter, and makes at least an effort to be objective. Give me information. Let me do the analysis.

I haven’t watched Fox in years, frankly. I just don’t watch TV news.

That is why Faux News is fighting Trump.
Trump News would CRUSH Fox and CNN

Force Fox to Evolve or Die.

I could go for either choice. There's plenty of ground for a non-biased (fat chance, but let's dream) news outlet and it could swipe viewers from both sides of the spectrum.

I might also draw away some of the annoying on-air talent -- or it might draw the good people and leave the annoying ones. Who knows.
