I wouldn't be surprised if Murdock looked over the facts, figures and sponsors and said "People don't watch Fox News because of Tucker, they watch Tucker because of Fox News"
I think the base is for the brand and not what the brand is selling.

Fox would need Murdoch to direct them to do it, which means Murdoch would have to be ready to lose a ton of viewers, which is exceedingly unlikely.
Anyone that wanted to preserve any credibility as a journalist has left already (Wallace, Sheppard etc)... those that remain are either willing to choke down the koolaid or are true believers.
Murdoch would A) need a "come to god moment" where there is a realization of the corrosive effect Fox has had on democracy writ large and, more importantly, B) he would need to give a damn.
