Good news is that it would be bound to failure like the rest of his projects. I have no doubt that he'll do this and that he is trying to capitalize on his racist white nationalist support base, but I am really curious as to what it will look like.

1. What tv personalities will he steal from other networks? Who is going to sell his/her soul?
2. How does this effect Fox News? Are they brought down to CNN/MSNBC ratings levels?
3. How does he combine white nationalistic news coverage with the trashy reality he is used to making?
4. What does he say the purpose of this network will be?

Wait, you mean to say that Trump is only in it for a business venture? Shocking. Here I thought he had long-standing, meaningful principles.

1) Tomi Lahren, Milo Yiannopolous, Alex Jones, Sean Hannity, and Trump himself. Ben Carson can have a late-night show for those suffering from insomnia.
2) It'll wither and die
3) Easy: sensationalist coverage to highlight the grievances of older, white working class Americans, telling them how they're being oppressed by an athlete not standing during the national anthem or by Mexicans and Muslims pouring into the country to take their manual labor jobs
4) It literally doesn't matter what he says, but the purpose will be to complete the transformation of the Republican party into an authoritarian, anti-democratic Putinist party.

Don't forget Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter!

A friend of mine has a rule that we would never sleep with a woman - no matter how beautiful - if she's crazier than Ann Coulter.  It's his version of the Mendoza Line.

Crazier than Ann Coulter is a far lower bar than the Mendoza Line.

SIREN: Source close to Aryeh Bourkoff tells me he never followed up with Trump team re Trump TV: "no interest in being in business w/ Trump"

[Fuzzy Bear]

It'll be "Must-See TV".

Nothing much shocks me anymore.  If, indeed, Trump did all this just to jump-start a TV network, I would not be shocked. 

But I wouldn't write it off as a failure before it starts, either.

It'll be all the things you guys hate: Trump + RT + Alex Jones

I just find them to be a joke like most of the red avatars on this forum.
