On Monday, Fox News announced that they had parted ways with their top-rated prime-time host Tucker Carlson.
By Monday evening, One America News Network (OANN) wrote an open invitation for Carlson on Twitter, saying, “Maybe Fox News’ loss could be OANN’s gain.”
“One America News founder and CEO Robert Herring would like to extend an invitation to Carlson to meet for negotiation to become a part of the OAN team,” the organization said on its website.
On Saturday, TMZ reported that Newsmax has offered Carlson a lot more than just his own show.
Newsmax has reportedly offered Carlson complete control over the entire Newsmax programming in addition to his own show.
TMZ reported:
Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News, and now another conservative news outlet, Newsmax, wants him to be more than just the face of the network, and it’s putting on a full-court press to land him.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the news channel is doing everything it can to sweeten the deal for Tucker to come on board — including floating the idea of letting him program the whole channel, not just his own show.
That would be a pretty enticing deal point … in addition to having his own primetime show, Tucker would have a say over what shows lead into and out of his show, which can be key in achieving bigger TV ratings.
While our sources stress Newsmax hasn’t formally offered Tucker a job — he can’t have formal discussions due to his current Fox News contract — we’re told the network execs have made it clear to people around him, they would basically give him a big say in rebranding their channel.
Newsmax has some competition for Tucker … as we first reported, NewsNation is showing early interest as well.
Carlson is not officially a free agent yet but that hasn’t stopped the offers from pouring in.
Glenn Beck, also a former Fox News firebrand, lobbied for Carlson to join him on conservative news outlet BlazeTV.
“We would love to have you here. You won’t miss a beat. And together, the two of us will tear it up. Just tear it up,” Beck said during his show Monday.
On Friday, Mike Lindell revealed on an episode of The Lindell Report that he’d already reached out to extend a job offer to Carlson.
Rumors are swirling that News Nation and Rumble have also extended offers to Carlson.
