"We feel super confident about Fox News being able to compete in any environment going forward," Steve Tomsic said at an investor conference.
Fox Corp. chief financial officer Steve Tomsic has a warning to outgoing President Donald Trump or anyone else looking to launch a new conservative cable news network to cut into Fox News' audience share.
Loyal viewers and longtime dominance are tall hurdles to taking on the Goliath of the conservative news world.
"We don't have a hubris bone in our body, so we don't take lightly the potential for competition, whether it's the existing sort of classic MSNBC or CNN, or the sort of emerging ones like Newsmax and OANN," Tomsic told the UBS Global TMT Virtual Conference during a session that was webcast.
Trump-friendly Newsmax and One America News Network say they have picked up disaffected Fox News viewers as the president takes to Twitter to urge his fans to switch channels. And after the recent U.S. presidential election, speculation has grown about new conservative media players launching a news network to rival Fox News.

Trump has always been outgoing. One of the reasons he is so popular.
I even heard Rush talking about Newsmax today. Way to go 💪!
Greg Kelly had almost a million viewers on Newsmax last night and that didn’t include streaming viewers.
going to have to steal your viewers from CNN because that is who liberals watch
Whistling past the graveyard.
Faux Ratings has already show they are losing the Conservative viewer
market. They will have to go after CNN’s viewers.
Greg Kelly beat Martha McCallum in the ratings yesterday.
No; not even libs watch CNN. They’ve been watching Faux all this time, especially since 2011 when Ailes started catering to them more.
Been watching Greg’s show regularly. Unfortunate for Lou Dobbs that their shows are on at the same time. I DVR both and switch back and forth while they’re on live and then watch them in their entirety later. Dobbs had a well spoken ballot adjudicator from Detroit on today who said she alerted the Michigan GOP the moment she saw shady activity taking place but they completely ignored her.
Stopped watching Fox on Nov 3.
Deleted all Fox apps.
Cancelled sirius xm.
And I don’t have the hubris to think I’m the only one who did the above.
They still don’t see the freight train coming.
MAGA TV!!!
Only a few people on Faux a conservative can tolerate anymore. It would be very easy to overtake Faux.
I heard that Greg Kelly shredded Chris Wallace yesterday. I need to find the segment and watch it.
The freight train is coming right after this fraudulent election is official...
They can try to poach a few from CNN. I won’t be back. I heard they are letting the big 3, tucker and hannity and laura stay conservative but I am not going back. OAN and Newsmax is where I go. They are actually getting better I think. Or I am getting used to it. They were really bland at first. I see there remaining 3 or 4 at fox leaving as soon as they can. They screwed the pooch election night.
You sh#t on your loyal viewers and they aren’t loyal to you anymore. Could you possibly be more dense?
