Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who was fired by the network last month, said on Tuesday he would soon relaunch his show on Twitter.
Fox News Media and its top-rated host parted ways last month, shortly after parent company Fox Corporation settled for a $787.5 million defamation lawsuit in which Carlson played a key role.
The outspoken host embraced conservative issues, hateful rhetoric and conspiracy theories to make his prime-time show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, the highest-rated cable news programme in the 25-to-54 age demographic.
Axios reported that Carlson's lawyers sent a letter to Fox, the most-watched US cable news network, accusing it of fraud and breach of contract.
“Starting soon, we'll be bringing a new version of the show we've been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter,” Carlson said in a video.
“We bring some other things too, which we'll tell you about. But for now, we're just grateful to be here.”
His announcement comes weeks after Twitter owner Elon Musk sat for a two-part interview with Carlson on Fox News.
Mr Musk, who has referred to himself as a "free speech absolutist," has said his goal is to make Twitter a digital town hall where users can share diverse viewpoints.
Carlson called Twitter that last big remaining platform that allows free speech, and recent events may argue otherwise.
Global technology news website, Rest of World, found that Twitter has not refused to comply with any government request to remove content under Mr Musk's leadership.
Twitter also once banned accounts of news reporters at well-known publications shortly after Mr Musk took helm of the platform, which drew global condemnation.

Find the right policy for you
Don’t wait until the week you fly to sign up for insurance – get it when you book your trip. Insurance covers you for cancellation and anything else that can go wrong before you leave.
Some insurers, such as World Nomads, allow you to book once you are travelling – but, as Mr Mohammed found out, pre-existing medical conditions are not covered.
Check your credit card before booking insurance to see if you have any travel insurance as a benefit – most UAE banks, such as Emirates NBD, First Abu Dhabi Bank and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, have cards that throw in insurance as part of their package. But read the fine print – they may only cover emergencies while you’re travelling, not cancellation before a trip.
Pre-existing medical conditions such as a heart condition, diabetes, epilepsy and even asthma may not be included as standard. Again, check the terms, exclusions and limitations of any insurance carefully.
If you want trip cancellation or curtailment, baggage loss or delay covered, you may need a higher-grade plan, says Ambareen Musa of Souqalmal.com. Decide how much coverage you need for emergency medical expenses or personal liability. Premium insurance packages give up to $1 million (Dh3.7m) in each category, Ms Musa adds.
Don’t wait for days to call your insurer if you need to make a claim. You may be required to notify them within 72 hours. Gather together all receipts, emails and reports to prove that you paid for something, that you didn’t use it and that you did not get reimbursed.
Finally, consider optional extras you may need, says Sarah Pickford of Travel Counsellors, such as a winter sports holiday. Also ensure all individuals can travel independently on that cover, she adds. And remember: “Cheap isn’t necessarily best.”
