President Trump has told friends he wants to start a digital media company to clobber Fox News and undermine the conservative-friendly network, sources tell Axios. Some Trump advisers think Fox News made a mistake with an early call (seconded by AP) of President-elect Biden's win in Arizona. That enraged Trump, and gave him something tangible to use in his attacks on the network. "He plans to wreck Fox. No doubt about it," said a source with detailed knowledge of Trump's intentions.

Here's Trump's plan, according to the source: There's been lots of speculation about Trump starting a cable channel. But getting carried on cable systems would be expensive and time-consuming. Instead, Trump is considering a digital media channel that would stream online, which would be cheaper and quicker to start. Trump's digital offering would likely charge a monthly fee to MAGA fans. Many are Fox News viewers, and he'd aim to replace the network and the $5.99-a-month Fox Nation streaming service, which has an 85% conversion rate from free trials to paid subscribers as their top destination. Trump's database of email and cellphone contacts would be a huge head start. Trump's lists are among the most valuable in politics especially his extensive database of cellphone numbers for text messages. Axios is told Trump may use vote-count rallies to undercut Fox. "He's going to spend a lot of time slamming Fox," the source said.

Oh man I'd love for him to start a premium channel and take Hannity, Carlson, and Ingraham with him to some corner of the channels in the 800s that nobody watches.

This is what he wanted to do in the first place, IMO.

Hopefully this fails but still results in massive losses for FOX
