We don’t need Bill O’Reilly.. He wasn’t exactly a fan of FreeRepublic.
Lou Dobbs, Sean and Varney would be Great.

Ousted White House chief strategist Steve Bannon has told friends he wants to create a network that leans further right than Fox News

There will be an audience - a huge one. The success of Fox News shows just how badly under-served conservatives in this country have been, and with Murdoch's kids determined to take Fox News to the same territory covered by every other liberal media outlet, the conservative audience is up for grabs.

While the "start a network" part might be challenging, the "to the right of Fox News" part certainly shouldn't be difficult...

The Cartoon Network is to the right of Fox these days.

CBS want to buy CNN, that doesn’t mean it would happen. ATT will make the decision, and they will decide based on their own best interests

Make sure Mark Steyn has a prime-time hour. It will be funny and entertaining as well as intelligent

Bill O’Reilly would give the new network instant credibility despite his faults. It can only be a one or two year contract to get the channel on the map if need be. How about a prime time line up of:

7 PM Tomi Lahren
8 PM Bill O’Reilly
9 PM Sean Hannity
10 PM Laura Ingraham

I’d also like to see a mid day show hosted by Sharyl Attkisson discussing all the lies the mainstream media is spewing that day.

Great idea ! The FoxNews we knew ended with Ailes. What’s left is a liberal lite network run by Murdoch’s two eunuchs and their femmo-libtard wives.

The hardest part will be getting clearance on all the systems.

Time Warner still owns CNN.

Time Warner may have to spin it off to get their merger with ATT.

If so, there is very little chance of either corporate board approving a conservative business group bid if CBS, which has shown considerable interest, makes an offer even close to competitive.

Why would you wanr a pro-abort airhead like Tomi Lahren? I thought we wanted “right of Fox”?

Because she is hot! I’m much like Laz in that way. Besides, abortion is nowhere near my highest issue with the government.

Being to the right of Fox News will not be hard. Most of them lean left.

"We don't need Bill O'Reilly..."

We certainly do. He was the biggest ratings draw on cable news. I used to be his biggest critic on this board for years and years. Then he started to come around to the Right...and I found myself agreeing with him on most of his positions.

He digs up the greatest guests and his show hums along at an attention-getting pace. To top it off, he's good friends with our President.

A new network needs TOP DRAWS and COMPELLING PERSONALITIES !

Laura Ingraham is voluble and poised...but she's stale, run-of-the-mill and wouldn't draw flies. There certainly has got to be a more electric, unique female host out there who would grab an audience like the males you mentioned in your post.

The humorous, incisive Mark Styne is my guy...he would be terrific.

To the right of FOX? Why use that low bar as a measure?
