Report: Tucker Carlson Raising Money For New Media Project

-

Former star Tucker Carlson is reportedly raising funds to launch a new venture, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The report indicated Carlson is working alongside longtime business partner and former White House adviser Neil Patel on the new project which would likely use Twitter as its foundation.

Carlson and Patel are reportedly seeking to raise hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for the company. The pair also founded the conservative publication The Daily Caller in 2010.

People familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal the new company would run on subscriptions for longer versions of the free videos Carlson has been posting on for free since he was ousted from Fox News earlier this year.  

The shorter videos will still be available for free for users on Twitter and other platforms, with subscriptions required for the longer videos in their entirety, people told the Journal.  

People familiar with the new project said Carlson's team recently met with Twitter to talk over the company endeavor, which would feature its own website and mobile app, and potentially other platforms beyond Twitter.  

The potential project comes months after Fox News abruptly cut ties with the primetime host.

In June, Carlson officially launched a new video series on Twitter stating, ” “We're told there are no gatekeepers here. If that turns out to be false, we'll leave. But in the meantime, we're grateful to be here.”
