Yup, non-compete contracts are especially hard to hold up.
Yes they are very difficult..
WABC-TV in New York had a LIFETIME non-compete written into the contract of one of its anchor. When they canned him, his broadcasting career ended.
Maybe Tucker should sign with a foreign outlet to get around the non-compete. (Technically, they aren’t competitors.)
(Then hey can make carriage deals here in the USA.)
