Is Tucker launching his own network?

Tucker Carlson is preparing to either work for or start a Fox News competitor, Axios reported Sunday, citing multiple unnamed sources close to Carlson.

“The idea that anyone is going to silence Tucker and prevent him from speaking to his audience is beyond preposterous,” Bryan Freedman, Carlson’s attorney, told Axios about the contract dispute with Fox News.

Since his unceremonious departure from the network April 21, Fox News has suffered plummeting ratings among key demographic segments alongside the continued ire of its viewers.
