Fox Business is reshaping its weekday lineup following Maria Bartiromo’s departure last month. Dagen McDowell, Brian Brenberg, and Taylor Riggs will lead the network’s new morning show.
What We Know: Big Money in the Morning will replace Mornings with Maria beginning Monday, October 12th, airing from 6-9 AM ET. The program features Dagen McDowell, Brian Brenberg, Taylor Riggs, and Barron’s Josh Schafer. The Bottom Line, featuring McDowell and Brenberg, currently airs at 6 PM ET, but Fox Business will move those two hosts into morning drive.
Meanwhile, encore episodes of Larry Kudlow’s program will occupy the 6 PM ET hour. The Big Money Show, which airs from 12-2 PM ET, will also add a rotating group of co-hosts featuring Cheryl Casone, Marcus Lemonis, and Lou Basenese alongside Jackie DeAngelis. Additionally, Fox Business will launch Claman’s Power Players on Friday nights from 7-7:30 PM ET, with Liz Claman hosting.
What They Said: “We’re excited to bring viewers fresh programming from a seasoned team of journalists, offering expert insight and analysis on the forces shaping the economy and driving business news. FOX Business remains committed to delivering compelling business news, market analysis, and conversation throughout the day, and these changes will further strengthen our weekday lineup.” -Fox News Media President and Executive Editor Jay Wallace
What Remains Unclear: Fox Business hasn’t detailed whether the rotating co-host arrangement for The Big Money Show will become permanent or will be a temporary feature.
What It Means: The changes give Fox Business a new morning lineup while expanding the roles of several familiar network personalities. At the same time, the network is adding another original program with Claman’s Friday evening show.

I wish they would bring back Maria Bartiromo. She cannot be replaced.
Maria was the best that Fox Business had. They keep firing their most-liked hosts, so I don’t expect them to be around for many more years.
I miss Maria. I think they made a big mistake. Cheryl Casone should replace her. Dagan gets on my nerves and wants to argue with everyone. I would not miss her at all if Fox got rid of her. I can’t stand Jessica Tarlov. I am very disappointed that Fox just gave her a 3 year contract.
I’m sorry to see that Cheryl Casone will not take over the Fox Business morning slot as I really like her less terse delivery early in the morning. I liked Maria okay but she had a tendency to be a little abrasive (I guess that is why they are putting Taylor Riggs in that role). The Big Money hosts moving to the early morning slot were okay at the noon slot but not really a morning group. When I wake up, I just want the news without all the conflict/confrontation. I feel I could sit down and have a conversation with Cheryl but not so much with the others. Too bad they made this decision as I will probably quit watching in the morning.
Show should be called Big Mouth in the Morning !!!! Just another political show !!! Where are all the traders and investors that gave us some insights ? Show is just horrible.
This is the biggest blunder Fox has made since the firing of Tucker. Gone are the special guests giving market insight along with corporate information. It is now just another news show. I am now reduced to watching reruns of “LAW AND ORDER” until Varney comes on.
