"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.

We are done with Fox. Our go to is now OANN.
I prefer America’s Voice over Newsmax and OAN.

Wallace comes on I go off.
” Loyal viewers and longtime dominance are tall hurdles to taking on the Goliath of the conservative news world.”
Two things wrong with this: 1st “loyal viewers” have abandoned Fox News in droves (over 50% income cases). 2nd, the reason they abandoned Fox News is because Fox News, with a few exceptions, is not a conservative network any more and since Ailes left has been on a steady downward trend to be just another liberal media. Their coverage of the election and it’s aftermath was the last straw for former loyal viewers.
Tomsic is blowing smoke just like Fox has been blowing “conservative” smoke for years.
Just to have to make a public statement shows how they have been weakened.
Wow... He just put Newsmax and OANN in the same sentence as CNN and MSNBC. Ignore the rest of his nonsense... that says it all!
one more reason that I despise the Republican Party. If Trump starts a new party, the insiders in the R party are going to be shocked at how many people switch.
Tucker runs hot and cold on MAGA. Hannity is boring and won’t let his guests talk. Laura thinks she’s smarter than Trump. I have not missed any of them since November 3.
You are exactly right. News is on the Internet. By the time it makes it to TV it’s not news anymore.
Hey. Here is a little known fact. Did you know that hannity practices martial arts. Lmao.
They are not the main stream media. They are the Marxist media. We MAGA supporters are the main stream of America. Dem voters are the elite and the government dependent (some welfare and some wealthy). .
You’re joke about Hannity is actually funny. It is just boring when he says it over and over. Who could possibly listen to his radio show for more than three minutes?
Kelly let FOX and Chrissy Wallace have it today big time. I enjoyed that.
Translation: “We have Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Lou Dobbs locked up to long term contracts so we’ll survive”.
Ingraham’s contract expires next year. I think Fox will dump her and give Tucker another hour or expand Fox News at Night to 2 hours to cut costs.
The infotainment industry exists to train the public in “govern mentality”. Fox used to be different. Now they’re included when the Parroting montage of sound byte Instructing us how to adopt the mentality desired by the government So we can be good citizens.
Sorry, Murdoch, I can think for myself.
Think of them as the baby in the dirty bathwater that's getting thrown out.
I know it will be hard on them financially but they would be better off at an ethical news outlet which FNC is not; at least not anymore.

It’s hard to say which unpopular news figure from
@FoxNews
will find their contract not renewed first, but my guess is
@marthamaccallum
.
Her Twitter account claims 680k followers but she can’t get 200 people to “like” her tweets. That suggests her audience has disappeared.
