(PM.) Fox Nation subscribers are canceling their subscriptions to the streaming service after Fox News issued an explosive announcement on Monday that the network was departing ways with famed primetime host Tucker Carlson.
“I just cancelled my Fox Nation subscription with the note: ‘No Tucker Carlson, no Fox Nation subscription. Goodbye.’ Who is doing the same?” Scott Morefield posted on Twitter.
In addition to hosting Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight”, the number one most-watched cable news show in the world, Carlson hosted a separate show on Fox Nation called, “Carlson Today”, where he produced a wide variety of original segments.
The news of Carlson’s exit from Fox News came as a shock to people across social media, to both his supporters and “enemies.” It was also revealed that Carlson had only found out about the news just minutes before the network made the announcement public.
Critics called Fox News’ decision to part ways with Carlson “a great mistake” that “will be the end of the network.” The phrase “RIP Fox News” trended on Twitter soon after the announcement.
Support for the conservative and opinion commentator flooded social media, and it’s clear his supporters stand by him as posts continued to roll in that they were unsubscribing from Fox Nation and getting rid of cable entirely.

“Today I canceled my Fox Nation subscription. Tomorrow I’ll be returning all three cable boxes for my TV’s. I don’t need them anymore, since the only reason I kept them was to watch Tucker Carlson Tonight & Today. @FoxNews blew it,” another individual said
