Fox News Licenses ‘Ruthless’ Podcast in Media Expansion

Fox News has entered a licensing deal with the popular conservative podcast "Ruthless," expanding its new media presence and bringing the podcast into its lineup alongside hits like "Will Cain Country." The partnership is seen as a strategic move by Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott to extend the network's brand into evolving platforms favored by younger audiences, particularly men aged 18 to 45. "Ruthless," launched in 2020 by GOP insiders including former Mitch McConnell chief of staff Josh Holmes and public relations founders Michael Duncan and John Ashbrook, is known for its candid political commentary and satire. Fox News Digital President and Editor-in-Chief Porter Berry will oversee this new media expansion, highlighting Fox's commitment to deep engagement through podcasting and digital content. The deal has been widely praised by conservative lawmakers and Fox contributors, signaling strong GOP support and enthusiasm for the podcast's wider reach. This move reflects Fox News's continued strategy to cultivate influential conservative voices across multiple media formats.
