As long as Tucker has not overtly and consciously violated the lawful terms of his contract, Fox still has to pay him.
Maybe Fox has decided to put Tucker on ice until the contract expires?
Tucker, on his side of the contract, almost certainly promised not to publicly or privately criticize Fox or its employees.
Maybe Fox wants Tucker to agree to some new issue before they voluntarily release him from his contract?
My instincts say that Fox wants Tucker off the air, and if Tucker had violated his contract, Fox would have just fired him.
RE: How much time is left on Tucker’s current contract?
Several FReepers have posted in this thread that his contract with Fox ends on December 2024.
That means he will be paid 6 figures NOT to talk. It also means his reporting and analysis will be a Non-factor in the coming Presidential elections ( unless he can get out of his contract ).
