Well Tucker Carlson could end up at Lindell TV like Lara Logan did after she made rants that got her banned from Fox News and Newsmax.

I know right it's a crazy thing given that Lindell was attempting to make a Fox News, OAN, Newsmax competitor with the framework of Alex Jones.

According to this article from the NYT, Fox News execs were made aware of some damning messages from Carlson just before the Dominion trial and that's what ultimately pushed them to settle that suit and part ways with Tucker.

On Eve of Trial, Discovery of Carlson Texts Set Off Crisis Atop Fox

The day before Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation trial against Fox News was set to begin in a Delaware courthouse, the Fox board of directors and top executives made a startling discovery that helped lead to the breaking point between the network and Tucker Carlson, one of its top stars.
Private messages sent by Carlson that had been redacted in legal filings showed him making highly offensive and crude remarks that went beyond the inflammatory, often racist comments of his prime-time show and anything disclosed in the lead-up to the trial.
Despite the fact that Fox’s trial lawyers had these messages for months, the board and some senior executives were now learning about their details for the first time, setting off a crisis at the highest level of the company,

Two days after the board’s discovery, Fox settled that case for $787.5 million, believed to be the highest for a defamation trial.

In the end, according to one of the people with knowledge of the internal discussions, Lachlan Murdoch viewed forcing out Carlson as a “business decision,” just as he did the Dominion settlement.

Let's say even when Fox News Removes Tucker Carlson the drama gets crazier. It's just that his situation is one big drama scene that's on top of the Smartmatic Lawsuit.

Newsmax Ratings Climb After Tucker Carlson’s Exit at Fox (Published 2023)

The niche conservative news channel is still small compared with Fox News, but its viewership has doubled and in some time slots even tripled since Tucker Carlson was dismissed.
www.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com

Interesting to hear Newsmax ratings. For some time this outlet has been hyped up to be "The Next Fox News" since the 2020 elections. We have to wait and see how Fox Responds to this move soon.

Newsmax doesn’t have the power to fight the Dominion lawsuit. They will be out of business.
 
From what I'm reading, Fox may keep paying Carlson until the end of his contract, to keep him off the air.
If it's long enough, maybe he won't have the power any longer, Americans do have a short memory.
 

Newsmax Is Reportedly Planning To Offer Tucker Carlson A Lot More Than Just Money​

Newsmax Is Reportedly Planning To Offer Tucker Carlson A Lot More Than Just Money

A landing spot already?
www.cinemablend.com www.cinemablend.com
Newsmax, a fellow conservative leaning media organization, is reportedly interested in not just giving Tucker Carlson his own primetime show on their network, but allowing him to program the whole channel, per TMZ. That would give the former Fox News employee a huge amount of power, including making decisions about what shows would precede and follow his own. Network executives have apparently made it clear to the people around Carlson that he would play a big part in rebranding their channel.

Tucker Carlson is still under contract with Fox News, so no formal discussions with other networks are allowed at this point.
