Defectors from Fox?
Were Mr Trump to launch a network, he could likely rely on support from several “mainstream” conservative media talents, including Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly from Fox News.
Mr Hannity and Mr O’Reilly have clauses in their contracts that allow them leave the network after Roger Ailes’s departure, according to the Financial Times.
They host two of the most popular shows on the network. A 2014 media study by Pew Research Center found that 19% of respondents who identified as mostly conservative and 45% of respondents who identified as consistently conservative got their political and government news from Mr Hannity’s radio show.
