Not so fast. He has a non compete clause with FOX and they're making an issue about it
"Carlson is ready to walk away from money that Fox still contractually owes him, according to a person with knowledge of his thinking, to escape a noncompete clause that would keep him off the air through the end of 2024 — and rupture his connection with his audience, he believes.
The same person said the contract does not count digital or streaming projects as off-limits.But no exit deal has been finalized with the network, and Carlson seems ready to escalate his conflict with Fox. Carlson lawyer Bryan Freedman sent a letter to Fox executives on Tuesday accusing the company of fraud and breach of contract, and arguing that the noncompete is null and void, The Washington Post has confirmed. The letter was first reported by Axios."
