Tucker tells us: I was cancelled by Fox -- not fired

Tucker Carlson Tells 19FortyFive He’s Still Employed By Fox: Tucker Carlson might not have a show on Fox News any longer. However, he told 19FortyFive that he was not fired.

Until a week ago, Carlson had the most-watched show on cable news.

“I’m still employed by Fox,” Carlson said in a text message to 19FortyFive.

Carlson, however, did not go into detail why he believes his show was cancelled.

[That’s likely going to be a very temporary situation. Fox may want to sit on Tucker for as long as possible to keep him from competing, but Tucker could then have a breach-of-contract claim against Fox. I’d guess that attorneys on both sides are crafting an exit agreement that will force Fox to pony up the rest of their contract or let him get on with his work elsewhere. Or a blend of both. — Ed]
