Fox News Likely To Lose Out On Millions Of Views After Tucker Carlson Departure

On Monday, it was announced that Tucker Carlson will be leaving Fox News with the host’s final show being last Friday, April 21st. Carlson dominated the cable television landscape for years and has come to be the most-watched news host in modern television. His departure will do irreparable damage to Fox.

“Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” the network said in a statement, according to Forbes.

“We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,” Fox continued in its statement. “Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday, April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named.”

Tucker Carlson regularly had hundreds of thousands of viewers a night as Americans tuned in to witness his hard-hitting journalism and courage to buck the status quo and question mainstream narratives.

On Thursday evening, Tucker’s penultimate show, the Fox host pulled in 334,000 viewers thus blowing out the competition at CNN, Anderson Cooper got 115,000 viewers, and MSNBC, Chris Hayes pulled 142,000 viewers, per AdWeek.

Carlson clearly has a talent for attracting audiences to his shows with blockbuster interviews and stories taking place over the last few months. Just to name a few, Carlson interviewed 45th President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk, he did a major investigation on January 6th, and he regularly enlightened his audience about the ongoing investigations into the Biden family.

According to Forbes, ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ regularly pulled in millions of viewers each week making him the highest-rated show in cable news. The week of February 12th, Tucker brought in nearly 3.5 million viewers with nearly half a million being in the coveted age bracket of 25-54.

With Carlson’s departure from the network, he will likely bring hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of viewers along with him in whatever endeavor he pursued. Whether that is a new show or a run for office, Americans are watching.
