Tucker out at FoxNews

@Jolly said in Tucker out at FoxNews:

Kelly has over 1M followers on YT and her podcast is a Top 10. Her show is also on Sirrius on the Triumph Channel.

She's doing quite well.

Not that she is not doing well compared to a lot of YouTubers and podcasters. How is the Megyn today compared to the Megyn just before she left Fox News?

Did she have a million viewers every night?

I get that "followers" doesn't translate into daily viewers, of course. But even if that number is only ⅓ of her followers, it's still bigger than anyone on CNN.

It's hard to pin down what she's making. But it's pretty durn good.

Imbecilic. The vast, vast, vast majority of channels don't even come close to her following.

FOX PRODUCER SEAN LANGILLE: They gave them [Dominion] money. They say it wasn’t part of it. But we’re learning that, Tucker getting fired was part of that.

UNDERCOVER REPORTER: Tucker getting fired was part of the Dominion lawsuit? Well, so did Tucker leave or did you guys part ways or Tucker was ousted?

LANGILLE: Yeah, he was ousted. Well, he brought up things that cost the company a lot of money…That, that was part of it. He was going to go after this whole thing about January 6 was… It was an inside job. He went after this guy Ray Epps, he said he was an FBI agent on the inside…. And basically encouraged it. He was going to go on the air and refute what that guy said on 60 Minutes.

LANGILLE: The other thing with Tucker that is interesting is everyone’s afraid we are losing so many viewers and money. I’m like well actually, there’s a bunch of advertisers that said we’re not going to advertise that 8 o’clock hour.

So now that he’s gone, they’re starting to come back…

It’s Big Pharma. Which is crazy because we would do all the stuff about COVID vaccines—and we’re getting money from Pfizer…

Big Pharma, Big Tech.

LANGILLE: When it’s corporate media, you’re beholden to advertisers.

Yeah, it’s across the board kind of like that, where you don’t want to piss off advertisers.

Makes sense.

Hannity to take over the 8PM slot.

Fox has lost ⅔ of the 24-54 demo in that time slot.

@George-K

Seems unlikely. Dominion is owned by a private equity company. They were after $$$, not scoring culture war points.

Cable news ratings show that in the two weeks since the host was fired, figures for Carlson's former spot have dropped by around 50 percent, while the network's audience among 25- to 54-year-olds had shrunk by two thirds.

According to some stuff I saw, NewsMax beat CNN like a drum in primetime last week.

@George-K My “seems unlikely” was about the idea that offing Tucker was part of the Dominion settlement.

Ah...

So the OMG interview is false.

[jon-nyc]

It’s pretty vague. Hard to know what they mean by “part of the lawsuit”.

Part of the settlement? Seems unlikely.

Part of why the Murdoch’s are done with him? Sure, could be.
