For a look at the opposite of Carlson’s process just to understand some context of what’s going on, Pat McAfee was the guest on Jimmy Traina’s SI sports media podcast. McAfee is a former NFL player who started a 3 hour daily talk show streaming on YouTube. The show took off like a rocket and got to extend its reach through major sponsorships. Recently he signed with ESPN and in the podcast interview he goes through the process of deciding to go to a network and the negotiating process. I bring this up because McAfee emphasized over and over again how important having access to the resources and capacities of a network is. He built his talk show as an independent business and so he knows the nuts and bolts of running one.
Carlson is going in the opposite direction. He had access to the resources and capacities of a network and he’s trying to build a new show on his own. Whatever Tucker stans who are out there will watch it but his power and influence are gone.
