Most conservatives were shocked and surprised when Fox News took the Tucker Carlson program off the air last week. It was watched by 3.2 million mostly affluent viewers each night. It was the seventh most popular program on cable TV. It attracted nearly twice as many viewers as MSNBC and CNN combined. MSNBC had an audience of roughly 1.14 million viewers. CNN only had roughly 473,000.
However, Tucker Carlson’s program had been on life support since December 18, 2018. That is when “progressive” Democrats cancelled most of its sponsors.
On December 13, 2018, Tucker Carlson did a segment on the effects of massive, uncontrolled, and often illegal immigration from poor countries. Tucker showed videos of caravans of illegal immigrants coming to our borders, and of the piles of garbage they left behind. Tucker explained how this was hurting America in many ways. He criticized political leaders of both parties and business elites for ignoring the problem.
Tucker agreed that most of the immigrants themselves were “nice people”. However, he concluded:
“But as an economic matter this is insane. It’s indefensible, so no one even tries to defend it. Instead, our leaders demand that you shut up and accept this. We have a moral obligation to admit the world’s poor, they tell us, even if it makes our country poorer and dirtier and more divided.”
Everything Tucker Carlson said was true, undisputed, and reasonable. It had all been said many times by many political leaders and economic experts. In 2016, candidate Donald Trump won widespread, mainstream support by promising to fix these problems. Trump promised a border wall and strict enforcement of immigration laws. Tucker Carlson was correct to remind his viewers of how the leaders of both parties were ignoring this critical issue.

I’m guessing this is upwards reason #78 or so why Tucker was fired.

I read that some such deals are coming up for possible renewal.
Many of Fox’s key eyeball counts are down. The $$$$$$$$$ might go down too.

Fox News is morphing into Faux News
Not much is being said because either a lot of people, or not enough people, have long memories of Roger Ailes announcing a “course correction” for Fox News way back in 2011.
Those with longer memories would recall E.D. Hill being “canceled” (to use a backformation) from Fox for pointing out Barack and Michelle Obama’s “terrorist fist bump” in 2008.
Advertiser’s aren’t going to pay if there is hardly any audience - especially a younger audience which is what they most want. Fox’s audience is ancient.
Watching advertisements on T.V. or even You Tube, we see mostly Woke Commerical Sponsors. Some seem rather silly and bizarre.
“Advertiser’s aren’t going to pay if there is hardly any audience - especially a younger audience which is what they most want. Fox’s audience is ancient.”
You can’t sell too many reverse mortgages to 25 year olds.
A 25 year old is probably going to live to be a potential customer for another 50 years. A 71 year old has 7-8 years left. That's why they covet a younger audience. Their customer lifetime value is much greater.
All advertisers need to be on the side of the Deep State.
That is MUCH more important than eyeballs.
I am happy that most Republicans are rejecting corporatism and affirming that many corporations are engines of leftism.

Tucker Carlson has the most dangerous weapon the left fear the most TRUTH.
It removes all the propaganda they can produce he’s not done yet.
I'd add The Duran to that list.
...fascinating tidbit, do you have reference or report on that? ...thanks in advance.
I remember reading of it at the time he died.
