O'Reilly returns with a smaller soapbox, vowing 'the truth will come out'

Even if he is ultimately successful, O’Reilly probably will find that his podcast audience will be a fraction of the size of the crowd that faithfully tuned into “The O’Reilly Factor” on Fox News, which this year had been averaging about 4 million viewers an episode, according to Nielsen.

“As we saw with the failure of the Sarah Palin Channel, personality alone will not drive adoption,” said Glenn Hower, senior research analyst of the Dallas media consulting firm Parks Associates.

21st Century Fox fired O’Reilly last week after media reports that he and Fox, over the years, had paid large settlements to several women who claimed O’Reilly sexually harassed them.
