Yeah I heard that broadcast too. So if Tucker is still under contract, they have to pay him millions of dollars a year...to do nothing? Is it Fox's way of trying to shut him up? Can he legally start up a different competing news outlet if he's contractually obligated to a non-compete contract? I'd love to hear from Tucker himself on this matter, but so far I'm not hearing anything from him.
Continue paying Carlson. That way they can guarantee his silence and keep him off air.
Fire Carlson. Allow him to spread his word and have to give him a huge severance payment.
Could his pay be dependent on his ratings, perhaps? With no show that would reduce that to a minimum and any non-disclosure agreements would still be in play.

My guess would be that they have two options:
