Tucker Carlson launched a video streaming website Tucker Carlson Network on Monday, over seven months after the popular former Fox News top host was fired from the cable news outlet.

Tucker Carlson Network, TCN will feature commentary, news reports and documentaries around important stories and events in the news. There will be subscription-based and free ad-supported content on the website and on X. It will cost you $9 a month or $72 a year, and will initially be solely available through Carlson’s website.

Former White House adviser Neil Patel will serve as TCN’s chief executive. Carlson and Patel were roommates at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut., which they graduated from in 1991, and in 2010 teamed up to found the Daily Caller news site, which Patel still controls. Carlson’s former executive producer at Fox, Justin Wells, will serve as TCN’s president and oversee all programming.

Carlson will continue to post free content on X. And TCN will launch a new podcast, “The Tucker Carlson Podcast,” which will feature audio versions of that content. The company's reportedly exploring distributing its content through streaming-TV apps independently and through X.

Meanwhile Carlson is reportedly still technically contractually tied to Fox News.
