Some Trump advisers believe Fox News made a mistake when it tentatively announced (supported by AP) Joe Biden's victory in Arizona (the state usually supports Republicans, and many other networks waited for fuller results before announcing Biden's victory in the region) ... This angered Trump and gave him the opportunity to use such an argument in negative comments about Fox.

“He plans to destroy Fox. There is no doubt about it,” said a source with knowledge of Trump’s intentions.

CEO of Fox Corp. Lachlan Murdoch, with a loyal viewer and a long-standing media dominance, said: “We love competition. We've always thrived on competition ... Fox News has been and remains the number one network, including broadcasting ... from Labor Day to Election Day. "

Details of Trump's plan

There has been a lot of speculation that Trump is opening a cable channel. But the use of cable systems will be expensive and the launch of such a channel is time consuming.

Instead, according to the source, Trump is considering creating a digital media channel that will broadcast online, which would be cheaper and faster.

Trump's digital channel will likely operate on a monthly subscription basis. Many Trump supporters are Fox News viewers. And he would like to create a channel that will replace Fox News and the Fox Nation streaming service for these people (subscription costs $5,99 per month).

Trump's database of e-mail and mobile phone contacts will be a huge advantage in the early stages of network promotion.

Trump's lists are among the most valuable in politics, especially his extensive database of cell phone numbers for text messages.

A source told Axios that Trump is "going to spend a lot of time criticizing Fox News."

Trump has always complained that Fox News is interviewing more Democrats than before. He tried to influence the network by advertising other conservative publications, including One America News and Newsmax.

“Fox has changed a lot,” Trump said during his final Fox & Friends interview on Election Day. “If you ask me what’s the biggest difference between what’s happening now and what’s happening four years ago, it’s Fox.”

“And I’m not complaining—I’m just telling people about it,” Trump added. “That’s one of the biggest differences this political season compared to last.”
