Tucker’s choice: Three basic options for his future platform

1. Stay with a cable/satellite platform, just not on Fox News.
2. Move to an existing social media platform, such as Twitter, which, under Elon Musk’s ownership, could innovate a tweet-based platform that generates substantial revenue for Carlson.
3. Create a new streaming service accessed via Roku boxes and similar streaming interface devices.

San Diego-based One America News CEO and founder Robert Herring Sr. has an offer for Tucker Carlson: $25 million to join the network.

“Maybe Fox News’ loss could be @OANN’s gain, Founder and CEO @RobHerring would like to extend an invitation to Carlson to meet for negotiation,” the network tweeted on Monday, hours after we learned that Lachlan Murcoch had fired the #1 cable news host from Fox News.

NewsMax is offering to let Carlson control more than just his program if he joins them.

Newsmax, wants him to be more than just the face of the network, and it’s putting on a full-court press to land him.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the news channel is doing everything it can to sweeten the deal for Tucker to come on board — including floating the idea of letting him program the whole channel, not just his own show.

That would be a pretty enticing deal point ... in addition to having his own primetime show, Tucker would have a say over what shows lead into and out of his show, which can be key in achieving bigger TV ratings.

While our sources stress Newsmax hasn’t formally offered Tucker a job — he can’t have formal discussions due to his current Fox News contract — we’re told the network execs have made it clear to people around him, they would basically give him a big say in rebranding their channel.

Newsmax has some competition for Tucker ... as we first reported, NewsNation is showing early interest as well.

Could he not in the not-to-distant future establish a syndicated radio show like Rush’s? My understanding is that FOX is more concerned about a Tucker revenge that berates his employer, or soon-to-be former employer. Ten-million a year to avoid non-compete issues is not a small sum.

...the company has the resources to drag out a fight in court that could keep Carlson silenced as the wheels of justice slowly grind for years.

Hopefully Tucker can simply break his contract, and then Fox can stop paying him.

Last I heard, Tucker Carlson was still living in Washington DC. Just down the street from James Comey, I recall some outlet saying...

I have no inside information, but before he starts his new gig, I imagine he would want to GET THE HELL OUT of Washington DC, for protection of himself and his family - and his own sanity.

Just look what leftist brownshirts did to SCOTUS members. If he triggers them as expected with his new platform, he will need to be far away from that place

I know little of the legal aspects but I figure if Fox News is seen to be persecuting Carlson, this would not set well for conservatives and would drive even more from the Fox channel.

Homes in Florida and....Vermont?

Maine, I believe

Any network that has Lemon in it, or that is interested in him, is an automatic loser and most conservatives/republicans will not be interested in watching; not even if Tucker were going to accept an offer.

He's been in my living room every night for years now. ;)

IPRAY that Tucker, Bongino and other smart people form their own Cable and radio stations!<P.I DO love NEWSMAX and BREITBART!

[4Liberty]

No, no radio. Tucker & his producer must stay with video programs -- we must continue to get the awesome chyrons they come up with during his shows!

[Fester Chugabrew]

Well, Rush *did* venture into TV. No reason Tucker could not do that, too.

[lewislynn]

Are these his ideas or are you trying to pretend he's a dunce and only you know what's best for him?

He has at least 2 close allies worth billion$$ each he can listen to.

What is your worth by comparison?

I’ll repeat this from another thread.

This is a case that does not make sense without some powerful weight being thrown around shamelessly. Why would Fox stand up and suddenly FIRE their most popular and profitable host. Right in the middle of trying to launch that Fox internet thing. I was even thinking about joining it. Tucker had some great content in there. They just up and cancelled his show. It doesn’t make sense for merdoch no matter his politics to take a hit like that. Someone got to him... someone got to them. And the way they treated President Trump when he was in office means that they are not accountable. That’s dangerous third reicht stuff there. There’s literally a rogue federal government agency out there destroying people. If they can do it to him, they can do it to anyone and there’s no defense against these people. They will destroy you and anyone else that seems a threat to them. Today it’s Tucker... tomorrow it’s you. They were not after you... until they were.

That’s not a fantasy anymore. It’s as real as it gets folks.
