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

Posted on 12/08/2020 4:30:39 PM PST by marcusmaximus

"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.

"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??"

Where were they November 3rd and every day thereafter when their employer went all in with the commie left?

Sorry, if they leave Fox I will watch them again.

Sean Hanity: Live Free or Die? Did he mean that or was it just a good title of a book? Sean should lead the way and leave Fox. He does not need the money and he does not need fox. Myself and my entire family were loyal to fox for more than 2 decades. No more! November third was the last day any TV in our home will ever be tuned to fox news, even after President Trump is sworn in for his second term. I have the fox channels blocked from our direct tv to prevent even accidentally tuning them in.

Never again.

On November 3rd they stood with President Trump and have remained staunch supporters of him, and the President has openly acknowledged it.

Greg Kelly had almost a million viewers on Newsmax last night and that didn’t include streaming viewers.

How many times did he manage to flog his latest book?

Stopped watching Fox on Nov 3.

Me, too. Enough individual drops can form a mighty torrent. Faux thinks they are somehow immune to backlash. They'd better think again.

How big is the advertising, when you’re sharing 3 viewers?

How exciting for you.

I would imagine that Martha too was as busy as always peddling stories of our greatest warriors, as if she indeed gave a damn, rather than just a dollar.

Well sorry they work for the enemy so it's on them. I'm happy with NewsMax and OANN. I don't even really think about Fox anymore.

It may sound harsh but the best thing that could happen would be for them to go under. Corporate America needs to fear our wrath.

It's way past time for us to start wholesale wrecking careers and destroying anti American businesses. It's time to stop playing nice.

Yes. They work for a network that has been moving left, with the goal of doing the same with their audience. Watching any of them is supporting Fox News, contributing to their financial ability to achieve this goal. Hopefully, many of the above will eventually leave Fox, provided they actually believe what they say they do.
