Ever since Bill O’Reilly left Fox News in April, there has been an ongoing discussion on what his next career move might be. Well it appears that we are soon about to find out.
Mediaite has learned that a producer recently resigned from a Fox News program citing plans to join O’Reilly in a new online video project that is soon to launch. The producer also added that there are broadcast plans to follow shortly as well , but did not reveal any specifics beyond that.
When reached for comment, O’Reilly told Mediaite “We are assembling a team of journalists and are considering a number of options as BillOReilly.com is quickly developing into a major enterprise.”
O’Reilly was the cable news ratings leader for roughly the past decade, and still appears to have a very loyal audience. His ratings had never been higher at the time he was canceled.
The new project comes in response to the sentiment that Fox News has drifted too far to the left for the conservative media consumer. Read more here.
