“We thank Maria for her work over the last 12 ½ years and wish her all the best on her next chapter.”

Date:

Fox News is parting ways with Maria Bartiromo after more than 12 years with the company. The network announced the move on Thursday afternoon.

What We Know: Bartiromo has anchored multiple programs across Fox News Media, including Mornings with Maria on Fox Business Network. The morning program aired weekdays from 6-9 AM ET. She also hosted Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street on Friday evenings from 7-7:30 PM ET. Meanwhile, her Fox News program Sunday Morning Futures will have a temporary change this weekend. Fox News will have Jason Chaffetz host Sunday Morning Futures this week. The network plans to announce a new permanent host at a later date. Bartiromo made her final appearance on Fox News on Sunday, August 9th.

What They Said: “We thank Maria for her work over the last 12 ½ years and wish her all the best on her next chapter.” -Fox News Media statement

What Remains Unclear: The network hasn’t identified who will permanently succeed her on Sunday Morning Futures. It is also unclear who will helm the newly rebranded Mornings with Fox Business in the interim as the network transitions away from Bartiromo.

What It Means: Bartiromo’s exit represents a significant change for Fox News Media’s business-news lineup. Her presence helped connect Fox Business Network’s financial coverage with Fox News’ political audience. Now, the company must determine how to replace a familiar face across multiple important time slots. For Bartiromo, the departure opens the door to a new chapter after more than a decade at Fox.

      • Yes, I know. Her words when she was detained internationally by customs I believe it was or something? Like 10+ years ago now. Sure you can look it up. I just have a long memory!

        • …and FTR I was evoking the song, “I’m actually kind of famous…” by Slayyyer =D

          Maria fan for like 15 yrs? I’ll keep watching her where she ends up next.
          She always asks good questions.

          “Mariaaa, you’ve got to see her…” … another good tune! =)

        • I was invoking “I’m actually kind of famous” by Slayyyer

          Loved Maria for 15ish yrs now. I’ll follow her where she lands next. Always asking the good questions! “Maria… you’ve got toe see her”….. another good song!

          Ironic she kinda got fired for wanting to ask some good questions.

  1. Time for me to boycott fox like other alt left agenda media Good riddance fox. I have no use for you. Maria deserves better and should get her own YouTube channel like Trisha did. I’m very disappointed.

  2. Excellent Broadcaster thrown to the side, ridiculous. Fox changes since Sons took over are obvious, and not good. Destructing what was a great channel.

    • Not so certain. She has created a huge opportunity for herself. My guess is that is “contract money”-related. She wanted more. I not believe anything malicous. (NOW, if Greg Gutfeld left?)

    • I would strongly prefer to see her on NewsNation which is a legitimate “down the center” or “center/slightly to the right” network.

      We might also consider that Maria “walked” over a normal contract differences/dispute

  3. Maria was one of the Very best people on Fox. it’s about time she left that Network. They are not what they used to be and have gone downhill ever since they got TDS.

    • I especially loved it when she would tell us how great the economy is and then read numbers showing how great the economy isn’t. such fearless reporting.

    • Me too, it was really the only program on Fox that I made it a point to watch. She seemed like a really hard worker and seemed very well respected in the political community. I’m hoping she’s leaving on her own terms but I’m really bummed about it.

  4. Maria is a super star! I do not watch Fox news anymore, after Fox joined with super liberal Paul Ryan. Fox is going down hill, fast. I don’t even wish them the best! Anymore they are another shit station!,

  5. This is more of a WHY IS SHE OUT?
    You people want to control what we should be thinking and doing and not allowing REAL journalists to report truth.
    Are you cowards turning into DEMO-RATS ?
    Chicken-shits.

  6. It’s totally THEIR loss. She will have a great landing somewhere else with all her good skills.
    Methinks the suits don’t like the fact she’s not a far left as they are.

  7. I like Jason Chaffetz
    Too bad he’s not still kn congress
    Maybe Maria decided to make the change herself; she had a great following and you don’t need to shed any tears. She’ land on her feet in a better spot
    Hey she and Trump are pretty tight and he need an interim press secretary??

  8. Bartiromo was one of the only true professionals left at Fox News. Very sorry to see her go; it only degrades Fox further from the high quality news medium that it used to be.

  9. It is possible she resigned to care for her elderly mother who she cares for and lives with her in her home. If she was fired as some people believe well Fox just created another firestorm. I for one won’t be watching any of the new host on Fox business. They don’t have the expertise nor the personality of Maria.

  10. Probably burnt out on the early mornings-rise and shine. Well, I’m down to Gutfield.
    Amazing Fox News will say Breaking News in the AM, afternoon and later in the evening. Its still BREAKING NEWS all day and night. LOL.
    Maria will go where it suits her.
    Chaffetz and Paul Rhino wusses. IMHO

  11. Maria Bartiroma was the best financial journalist. I watched her programs on Fox Business only because of her. Now I will be checking out CNBC for financial news. Wish you all the best to Maria!

  12. Saved me at least 15 hours of watching her show every week. Unfortunately she was the best of my TV watching time. Will go wherever she goes. She’s the best!
