A Fox News executive revealed what may have been a key reason for Tucker Carlson’s sudden departure last month: ad sales.
In an interview this week with Variety magazine, Fox News Vice President for Advertising Sales Jeff Collins said that big-name corporate advertisers have returned to Fox News’ 8 p.m. ET timeslot after Carlson departed. Ratings for the new show, “Fox News Tonight,” have been significantly smaller, but the outlet reported that large corporations were advertising their products again during the show.
