And do what exactly? -- nm - David Jul 19, 12:33 18
- O'Reilly and Hannity both have syndicated radio. Not sure about Susteren. -- nm - ÜMLaut Jul 19, 12:38 13
  - That's great for money but not for celebrity. -- nm - David Jul 19, 12:39 12
    - Eh. Those two are at the point where they're self-sustaining. I forgot that both have substantial book sales/exposure as well. -- nm* - ÜMLaut Jul 19, 12:41 11
      - There's just no upside for them to leave Fox News. It takes away too much of their audience. -- nm - David Jul 19, 12:45 10
        
        This was 2014, but Hannity had 13 million radio listeners. -- (link) - spamlet Jul 19, 12:51 7
        
        So? It's TV that's power. -- nm - David Jul 19, 12:52 6
        
        At maybe 1/20th of the audience? Unlikely. -- nm - spamlet Jul 19, 12:54 5
        
        You're bad at this. Stop being bad at this. -- nm - David Jul 19, 12:55 4
        
        You argued it would take away too much of the audience even though their radio audience is a double digit multiple of TV. - spamlet Jul 19, 12:58 3
        
        Literally the first thing I mentioned was the radio money. Do you even know what you're arguing? -- nm - David Jul 19, 13:05 2
        
        That they won't lose that much sway by being off tv. -- (edited) - iSpam Jul 19, 13:14 1
        
        O'Reilly makes $15 million a year plus incentives on tv. - David Jul 19, 13:18
        
        they'd certainly make news if CNN signed them. -- nm - Remlik Jul 19, 12:49 1
        
        And CNN would lose the middle. -- nm - David Jul 19, 12:50
- heh -- nm - mud Jul 19, 12:35
- Not saying they would go. What I find big is twofold: 1) they tied themselves to him so strenuously. - ty97 Jul 19, 12:35 1
  - They settled harassment claims previously. They had secrecy clauses that could be waived by Fox, which the Murdoch brothers did so the women would - jnine Jul 19, 13:59
- open a taco stand -- nm - decline Jul 19, 12:34
