Fox News is adding another contributor to their lineup as the network announced in a press release the addition of former Tennessee Democratic Congressman Harold Ford Jr.
As part of his new gig with Fox News, Ford will provide commentary on all FOX News Media platforms, including FOX News Channel and FOX Business Network’s daytime and primetime programming.
“Harold has been a valuable guest on FOX News, and I am pleased that our millions of viewers will continue to benefit from his insights derived from a highly accomplished career in both the business and government sectors,” Suzanne Scott, Fox News CEO, said.
From 1997 to 2007, Ford represented Memphis in Congress before moving to New York City and securing a financial sector position.
“I am excited to join the FOX News Media family and am grateful for the network’s commitment to showcasing a diversity of voices and viewpoints. I look forward to sharing my unique perspective directly with the viewers,” Ford said.
Before taking the position with Fox News, Ford has appeared as a guest in recent months. There’s no set date when Ford will officially begin as a contributor, and no contract terms were revealed.
