New conservative news network puts out casting notice: report
A casting notice is circulating for an “up-and-coming conservative media network currently in development,” Fox News reported Thursday.
The notice — seeking hosts, reporters and panelists — comes amid rumors that Republican nominee Donald Trump is considering launching a TV network if he loses the presidential election.
{mosads}“[Talent] must be knowledgeable about conservative viewpoints, current events and the presidential election,” a casting ad says.
Auditions are being held at an undisclosed New York City studio on Nov. 7, the day before Election Day, Fox reported. The notice calls for applicants that “look upscale and intelligent” and are “energetic and outspoken.”
It notes that initial programming will be streamed online. Trump’s campaign recently set up similar streaming coverage via Facebook Live, broadcasting a nightly program beginning in late October.
Trump slammed speculation that he is laying the groundwork for a new media empire, insisting he instead remains dedicated to defeating Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
“No, I have no interest in Trump TV,” Trump told 700WLW Radio in Cincinnati last month. “I have one interest, that’s on Nov. 8. So no, I have no interest beyond that. I have interest in making America great again.”
