Tucker Carlson is no longer with Fox News, and Newsmax is actively pursuing him to take on a more significant role than just being the face of their network.
Well-informed sources revealed to TMZ that Newsmax is making a full-court press to secure Carlson’s services. They’re even considering allowing him to program the entire channel instead of solely hosting his show, going to great lengths to entice him.
Offering his own primetime show along with the authority to influence the programming before and after it, would be a tempting proposition for Tucker Carlson. This is particularly significant as it could potentially lead to higher TV ratings.
It’s worth noting that Newsmax has yet to make a formal offer to Tucker, according to sources. Because of his existing contract with Fox News, he cannot engage in formal negotiations. Nevertheless, insiders report that network executives have expressed to Tucker’s associates their willingness to grant him significant influence in rebranding their channel.
Tucker has garnered the interest of several potential suitors, such as Newsmax and NewsNation. Although it has yet to be finalized which one, he’ll go with, insiders indicate that it may not be a traditional TV station. Nevertheless, his decision is anticipated to impact the conservative media landscape significantly.
The website reported Tucker is feeling positive after leaving Fox News. Instead of being upset about it, he is looking forward and hopes that Fox News will do the same.
