According to Reuters, On May 9, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson announced his plans to relaunch his show on the social media platform Twitter. Carlson was recently taken off the air by Fox News Media, and he and the network agreed to part ways shortly thereafter. The departure came after Fox Corp settled for $787.5 million in a defamation lawsuit in which Carlson played a significant role.
Throughout his tenure as a host, Carlson was known for his outspoken conservative views and unique style of delivery, which made his show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” the highest-rated cable news program among viewers aged 25-54 on the most-watched U.S. cable news network. Ratings have slumped since his departure.
In a video posted on Twitter, Carlson stated that he will soon be bringing a new version of the show he has been doing for the past six and a half years to the platform. He also hinted at additional content that would be shared in the future, although no specifics were provided.
This announcement follows a two-part interview with Twitter-owner Elon Musk that Carlson conducted on Fox News. Musk, who has referred to himself as a “free speech absolutist,” aims to make Twitter a digital town hall where users can share diverse viewpoints. Musk stated that Carlson would be subject to the same rules and rewards as all content creators on the platform, including subscriptions and a share of advertising revenue. However, Musk noted that they are still working on the software needed for the latter.
In a recent development, Carlson’s lawyers sent a letter to Fox, accusing the network of fraud and breach of contract. Carlson’s attorney has yet to respond to requests for comment, and a spokesperson for Fox Corp has declined to comment on the matter. Despite the controversy, Carlson’s relaunch on Twitter is highly anticipated by his supporters and could potentially bring new viewers to the platform.
