The
Tucker Carlson Network features interviews, behind-the-scenes
footage, commentary and early access to tickets for future live
events, its website showed on Monday.
"We've been working in secret and producing an awful lot of
material for months now. We're launching a brand-new thing very
soon," Carlson said in a post on the X social media platform on
Saturday, as he unveiled the website for service.
He parted ways with Fox News in April, after parent firm Fox
Corp settled for $787.5 million a lawsuit filed by Dominion
Voting Systems over false claims of election fraud.
Since June, Carlson has been releasing videos on Elon Musk's X
social media platform, formerly Twitter. His interview on Aug.
23 with former U.S. President Donald Trump, who had opted out of
a Republican primary debate on Fox News the same night, drew
over 74 million views on X, according to statistics on the
platform.
Carlson and his team had explored launching the streaming
service through X, but the social media company was not able to
move quickly enough to build out the technology needed for the
service, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.
He will continue to post the service's free content on X, the
report said.
X did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment,
while Carlson could not be immediately reached for comment.
