"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.

Post how to find that segment. Smarmy Wallace is the reason Fox’s infotainment ratings are dropping like a rock. Nothing on tv is really news.
I agree 100% with your assessment.
So we turn our backs on Tucker, Hannity, Laura, Maria Bartilona, Fox and Friends, Lou Dobbs, Levin, Watters, and the several other conservative voices who have been so faithful to POTUS??
Good. I like Greg and watch him daily.
I left Fox on Election Day and have NOT looked back, Fox was on in my home 24/7 for 20+ years I LOVE NEWSMAX!!!
BYE BYE FOXY!!! Give Chris Wallace a RAISE!!!
Greg Kelly is FABULOUS!!! So is Chris Salcedo and Grant Stinchfield!
Wow! Fox steals viewers from CNN, increases their Cume by 2 viewers!

I don't recall trump ever tweeter to people to dump faux news & move to news max or OANN?
former faux viewers made the decision to leave on their own
Whistling to the bankruptcy proceedings.
Remember, FRiends, Newsmax gave a $ Million to the Clinton Foundation. I still do not trust them.
bttt
This is not a parody article?!?
These corporate executives lie through their teeth on “investor calls”.
The “investors” should demand the immediate termination of all of Fox senior management for gross negligence and incompetence.
Yeah and I think the bosses for Newsmax and even OAN are letting the anchors and reporters loosen up a bit and be a little more personable. I could not believe what I saw election night. Actually a few days before I felt they went a little hard on Trump but thought it was just me. But by 9pm election night I was ready to turn. I made it till 10 then started looking around and found OAN. Then Newsmax the next morning.
So we turn our backs on Tucker, Hannity, Laura, Maria Bartilona, Fox and Friends, Lou Dobbs, Levin, Watters, and the several other conservative voices who have been so faithful to POTUS??

I can’t remember who it was, but a couple weeks ago, when the move out of faux started, someone on here posted that, if you really need a tucker fix, you can pick up most all these fox shows on you tube...or somewhere else out there....and it won’t count as a fox viewer in their ratings.
They’re still getting their paychecks, they are on contract. We don’t owe them anything.
