Tucker out at FoxNews
-
Again, Bongino's podcast...FOX is not dead. They charge cable and satellite providers a hefty fee, maybe the highest in the industry, to carry FOX News. FOX' problem is demographics. They've been steadily losing the 25-40 demographic...Not that those guys are going to CNN, they're just not watching tv. But their base demographic (50+)is strong and not going anywhere.
Bongino is unique in his experience. He has a nationwide radio show, a top-15 podcast, until recently a show on FOX and he's run for political office (and lost. But the stories he can tell about the process!).
He talked about the bookshelf. The bookshelf (to those in the biz) are the podcasts that people subscribe to and actually listen to in any given week. The bookshelf normally contains as many as four or five podcasts, but rarely more.
Bongino said there are people who report news, people who make news and some who do both. Tucker does both. As such, people tuned in to watch Tucker, because his opinion was a little different or he might be doing something controversial. This makes Tucker an A-list news personality (Bongino said he (Bongino) was B-list). Unlike somebody like Chris Wallace or Sam Shepherd, Tucker will pull ears and eyeballs to his next venture. Tucker could easily start with a bookshelf podcast.
That makes Tucker potentially worth a lot of money. Especially as podcasts have screamingly low overhead.
If Crowder can command the money he's gotten, what is Tucker worth?
Again, more on the 4/25 podcast.

Seems to me like a lot of people are just posting stuff they've heard from somebody's mate down the pub and posting it as though it's true.

Listen to Beck, O'Reilly, Kelly and Bongino. All worked at FOX. Bongino was still there a couple of weeks ago. All have varying amounts of contacts.
I put a lot more credence in their remarks.

Werent all these people the top rated people at Fox News and all/most left under bad circumstances?
Fox News will slot someone in to Mr. Carlsons position and that person will have a built in audience waiting for him.
But @Jolly is correct. The watchers of "regular" TV are changing.
But for me, (and I admit I am looking at it from the way outside), the reach of podcasts is still WAY less than something like Fox News.

Kelly left for more money, more family time and what she thought was an acceptance of sexual harassment within FOX News.. Bongino left (rumors) because FOX wouldn't meet his asking price in contract negotiations. O'Reilly had zipper problems. Beck left because of friction between him and management. FOX management said Beck's rating were still good, but controversy (God talk) was hurting ad sales.

Sounds like he was kind of talking against what he did previously.

@LuFins-Dad TY.

It had 3M before you could spit.
Remember what Bongino said about A list news/commentary celebrities? Tucker pulls eyes and ears, he doesn't have to chase them

I'd be very surprised if Tucker died a poor man. Obviously, he can get another job.
I'm not quite sure I understand the level of importance that seems to have got attached to this. The way some of the people are responding on Twitter is a bit freaking weird. He's just a talking head with questionable dress sense, not Jesus of Nazareth or for that matter the Prince of Darkness.

Maybe one of the networks will bring Tucky in to do the colour commentary for the TV coverage of Coronation of King Charles III on 6 May. Am certain he would revel in the pomp and pull many delightful faces replete with his now famous mezzo-soprano giggles for the cameras.
