This is pretty big if it’s true and it makes sense—Tucker Carlson has a massive audience.
His latest video on Twitter generated a reported 23 million views in just a single day; this dwarfs the traffic of major cable news networks such as Fox News, which also suffer from much higher overhead costs.
According to a recent article from Puck, Tucker Carlson is quietly searching for funding and investors to launch a new media company.
Carlson will reportedly be joined by media talent that left the cable news giant in the wake of his departure from Fox News. …
Here’s what everyone is saying:
NEW: Tucker Carlson wants to take Fox News head on as he has allegedly been raising money behind the scenes to launch his own media company according to Puck news.

Who else wants @TuckerCarlson and @joerogan to moderate the debates for both parties?

Puck broke the story and claimed:
I am told he is raising capital to launch a new company that may yet prove more influential.
He’ll certainly benefit from an incongruous number of ultra wealthy conservative media investors and a scant (though growing) number of opportunities, as Glenn Beck and the tandem of Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing have demonstrated.
A decade ago, the Mercers seemed like lone wolves in their patronage of Breitbart.
These days, conservative mediacos are popping up more rampantly, as capital finds opportunities and the conversation moves further and further to the fringes.
Carlson recently released episode 7 of his new show on Twitter and tackled the rampant corruption and political dictatorship in Ukraine.

NBC News reports that Fox News has officially replaced Tucker Carlson’s slot on the network with Jesse Watters:
Watters is currently the host of the opinion show “Jesse Watters Primetime,” which airs at 7 p.m. and has garnered an average of 2.6 million viewers since the start of the year, according to the network.
He is also a regular panelist on “The Five,” one of the network’s most popular programs.
In recent years, Watters established himself as one of Fox’s most strident conservative culture warriors and a loyal defender of former President Donald Trump.
