Tucker Carlson is Back with His Own Network
Tucker Carlson, the prominent conservative commentator, has launched a groundbreaking streaming service that aims to rival major players in the center-right news landscape. This new venture, named the Tucker Carlson Network, is set to revolutionize the way conservative news is delivered and consumed. With a focus on brash conservatism, the streaming service is expected to offer exclusive content from Carlson and other notable conservative figures.
The idea for the Tucker Carlson Network was conceived following Carlson’s departure from Fox News in April. The reported reason for his exit was a settlement between Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems, related to defamation claims following the 2020 elections. Unfazed by the setback, Carlson took matters into his own hands, building his own studio and launching “Tucker on Twitter,” a series of successful 45-minute segments featuring high-profile guests.
The Tucker Carlson Network aims to be a hub for conservative thought, offering a variety of programming that appeals to the conservative audience. The network plans to feature up to five shows by mid-week, including interviews, short-form videos, and thought-provoking monologues. With a diverse range of content formats, the network intends to engage viewers in a unique and captivating way.

To access the full range of programming on the Tucker Carlson Network, subscribers will be required to pay $9 per month or $72 per year. However, the network also plans to offer some programming for free, supported by advertisements. This approach ensures that both paying subscribers and non-subscribers can benefit from the content produced by the network.
The Tucker Carlson Network has chosen a red pill as its logo, a nod to the conservative audience who often use the “Matrix” reference to signify their belief in understanding the truth over misinformation. This logo choice embodies the network’s commitment to providing a platform for conservative voices and perspectives.
In addition to the online streaming platform, the Tucker Carlson Network is exploring partnerships with streaming services to expand its reach beyond the internet. By making the network available on televisions worldwide, Carlson aims to solidify his influence and amplify conservative voices on a global scale.
Leading the charge in this ambitious venture is Neil Patel, the Chief Executive of the Tucker Carlson Network. Patel, a longtime friend of Carlson, previously co-founded The Daily Caller in 2010. Joining Patel is Justin Wells, Carlson’s former executive producer at Fox, who will serve as the network’s president and oversee all programming. Together, they form a formidable team dedicated to the success of the network.
To support the launch of the Tucker Carlson Network, the venture secured $15 million in funding from 1789 Capital. This venture firm specializes in investing in companies catering to conservative tastes, and their support indicates a strong belief in the network’s potential success.
Despite his departure from Fox News and the potential legal challenges ahead, Tucker Carlson shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, he is expected to be an influential voice during the upcoming 2024 elections. His influence is so significant that Melania Trump is reportedly pushing her husband, former President Donald Trump, to consider Carlson as a potential vice presidential candidate.
