One doesn't need to be a TV ratings guru to understand that a network losing one of its golden calves is going to result in some changes in ratings stats. Whether it's a broadcast network canceling a fan-favorite drama, a streaming service pulling the plug too soon, or a cable news giant axing its most noteworthy anchor, the numbers tend to droop a bit in the immediate aftermath. Such is the case over at Fox News, which delivered one of the biggest bombshells of the week with its announcement that Tucker Carlson is no longer with the network, with his April 21 telecast serving as the final installment of his ratings winner Tucker Carlson Tonight. And already, there’s been a noticeable change in the stats.
