The removal of a conservative kingmaker Tucker Carlson at Fox News raises questions about Rupert Murdoch media empires\u0027 future. Read more.
Lachlan Murdoch, Rupert’s eldest son and Fox’s chief executive, made the decision to axe Carlson with Fox News chief Suzanne Scott on Friday night, with Rupert’s approval, according to two people with knowledge of the matter. It came after a trove of Carlson’s private messages were unearthed by Dominion Voting Systems Corp.’s defamation lawsuit against Fox over its U.S. election coverage.
“I guess people think that because I’ve been there the longest that I’d have some knowledge or understanding of what’s going on, but…I just don’t,” Hannity said on his radio show on Monday. “I don’t have a clue.” Similar moments of programming chaos propelled Carlson’s career. When Megyn Kelly left Fox News in early 2017, Rupert Murdoch handed him her critical 9 p.m. time slot.
The loss of Carlson comes at a critical time for Fox. More than two-thirds of the parent company’s contracts with TV distribution groups, which pay to air Fox programming, are up for renewal in the fiscal years 2023 and 2024. This “affiliate revenue” amounted to US$6.9 billion last fiscal year, contributing about half of the group’s top line.
