Fox Corp. CFO Talks Potential Rivals to Fox News
Hollywood Reporter ^ | 12/8/2020 | Etan Vlessing

"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.

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??

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.

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.

Until they move to another network, I'm definitely turning my back on them. Once Carlson's contract is up, maybe I'll see him somewhere else. Meanwhile there are plenty of sources of smart conservative commentary on other networks like Newsmax and OAN.
