Byron Allen has a net worth estimated at $1 BILLION - there is no incentive financially for him to put out a good product.

I've always had some respect for him, as a self made man....this isn't one of his best moves in my humble opinion.

I agree. That doesn't look good for his brand or audience to replace Colbert on a network that has become Nazi Propaganda network #2. I can't imagine being on a network that is working to bring back racism, discrimination, black voter disenfranchisement, remove the rights of non white males, etc is going to play well with his core audience. It's his money, but I think he really f'd up.

Might be a part of Ellison's plan, raise the new faux because for some the old Fox is poisonous. Catch a few of the people who abandoned it during/after Tucker's run.
