# Carlson launches Tucker Carlson Network as a subscription media platform

Date: 2023

On 11 December 2023, after leaving Fox News, Carlson launched [Tucker Carlson](/people/tucker-carlson) Network as a paid subscription media service. The network gave him a distribution system independent of a traditional cable channel and allowed his interviews, commentary and documentary-style programming to reach subscribers directly. This fact matters to the causal record because it explains how Carlson retained audience leverage after losing his Fox program. It does not assign a political effect to the network without evidence for a specific downstream event.
