NewsNation Wants Sacked Don Lemon, Tucker Carlson As Anchors

Don Lemon and Tucker Carlson are now without a work home — but they could land at the same place in the near future … and that might be NewsNation, which wants them both.

Sources with direct knowledge say … the television network — which has been growing steadily over the past few years — is interested in potentially hiring DL and TC and adding them to their growing roster of high-profile anchors.

Plus, the fact both of these guys are huge, recognizable names in the news game is appealing to NewsNation honchos — who feel like they both could bring in big swaths of a diverse audience on both the right and the left … with NewsNation being the hub.

Our sources tell us NewsNation is aware that Don and Tucker each come with their own baggage — but we’re told the execs feel like they could manage it. BTW, the idea of bringing both of them on would not be a replacement move … but a supplemental one, where they’d simply be expanding their talent and creating new shows for the air.

Now, on the issue of money … there could be a hurdle, seeing how our sources tell us NewsNation would not pay either guy anywhere close to what they were making. In Tucker’s case, we’re told he’s been making $20 million per year at FOX of late.
