OAN Founder Says He'd Pay Tucker Carlson $25 Million To Join Network

San Diego-based One America News CEO and founder Robert Herring Sr. has an offer for Tucker Carlson: $25 million to join the network.
"Maybe Fox News' loss could be @OANN's gain, Founder and CEO @RobHerring would like to extend an invitation to Carlson to meet for negotiation," the network tweeted on Monday, hours after we learned that Lachlan Murcoch had fired the #1 cable news host from Fox News.
quote:
When reached for comment, Herring told Times of San Diego via email: "It would be great if we could get Tucker! I might give him around $25 million. And he would be well worth that!"
Carlson was making between $15 and $20 million a year hosting "Tucker Carlson Tonight," according to Forbes.
He's also received an offer from Russia's state-sponsored RT network.
quote:
According to the NYT, "Howard Polskin, who compiles a daily newsletter, TheRighting, that tracks conservative news outlets, said that Mr. Carlson could join niche networks like NewsNation or Newsmax. He could start his own media brand, like Dan Bongino, the conservative pundit who also parted ways with Fox last week, Mr. Polskin said."
Former OAN employee, broadcast veteran Eddie McCoven, doubts Carlson would make the move "because with such a small reach now, what budget do they have for such a big name?"
"It remains to be seen if OANN will survive the lawsuit it is facing from Dominion," he continued, referencing an ongoing lawsuit between Dominion Voting Systems and several networks, including Newsmax and OAN. Fox News and Dominion notably settled out of court for $787.5 million just days before Carlson's ouster, leading many to wonder if the two are related.

Why wouldn’t he start the negotiations by stating he would equal what Fox was paying? Tucker might accept, and Herring would save 5 million a year.

He should join with bongino and start a true conservative free speech network- based on telling and exposing the truth

Maybe he knows he is not going to land Tucker and is doing him a favor by setting his market value early for negotiations with other parties.

It sounds like you can't differentiate between a signing bonus and a salary

Tucker is striking out on his own after all this

Ok, I could see that I guess.
All I know is if I were in the market for a $500,000 house, my first offer wouldn’t be $600,000.

Tucker may have to sign a non-compete clause to get his severance package. Who knows?

In addition to the financial cushion, the number of "no-go zones" he had to put up with at Fox would be significantly whittled down at OANN.

I knew RT would troll by doing this. And it will work and drive the left mad.
