The agreement comes as Carlson plans to build up his own media empire

Tucker Carlson has struck an ad deal worth more than $1million with an online conservative marketplace as he seeks to build his new media venture.

Under the agreement, Carlson will begin airing commercials for PublicSq on his Twitter show beginning next month, after the online marketplace goes public.

The deal marks Carlson's first commercial agreement since he was abruptly fired from FOX News in April, where he brought in $77.5million in advertising revenue just last year.

He now plans to build up his own media empire, and Omeed Malik, the chief executive of the board of the blank check company that plans to take PublicSq public this month, is also planning to invest seven or eight figures in Carlson's venture through his private investment firm, 1789 Capital.
