Lesser-known cable channels are itching to build a new brand around him. Industry experts think he could make a mint in podcasting.
But Tucker Carlson — who was fired by Fox News last week at the height of his popularity and influence in right-wing punditry — has aspirations of moving into a larger role that doesn’t limit him to a single medium, according to people familiar with his thinking.

Read today that Tucker can’t do TV but can do internet.
Also read that Tucker Carlson Tonight is moving to Telegram.

Huh, I wonder if he could do an internet debate, and some TV station cover it? OAN or someone that doesn’t suck.
I don’t click on the WP. Hopefully there will be another source.
Vivek should be careful who he sits with Candice did a great job.
Thanks.
bttt
He is now fox’s puppet on a string, only way out is a gaggle of lawyers to counter sue and an offer to supplement his contractual fox loss when HE quits
