Elizabeth Stauffer, a new contributor at Power Line, shares a Megyn Kelly report that Tucker Carlson is still "employed by Fox News" where he reportedly earns $20 million per year on a contract that runs through 2024. This was substantiated by the news site 19FortyFive.
Ergo, he currently has "no broadcasts scheduled." Stauffer writes:
Does this mean that Fox plans to silence Tucker’s voice for the next year and eight months – the period leading up to arguably the most consequential election in American history? Will the network keep him on the payroll for the remainder of his contract to prevent him from finding another platform? After shelling out $787.5 million to settle the Dominion lawsuit, will Fox spend another $33 million just to muzzle Carlson ahead of the 2024 election? No one knows.
Supposedly, Carlson and Fox have to "negotiate" his exit, whatever that means. Clearly a non-compete clause is lurking somewhere, likely in his current contract.
