Maria Bartiromo Departs Fox News Media After 12-Year Tenure

NEW YORK — Fox News Media announced on Thursday that long-time anchor Maria Bartiromo has parted ways with the network, bringing an end to her more than 12-year tenure at the company.

The network issued a brief statement confirming the departure, offering little insight into the circumstances behind the decision.

“We thank Maria for her work over the last 12 ½ years and wish her all the best on her next chapter,” the company said in a statement.

Bartiromo, a prominent face of the network’s business coverage, was best known for anchoring the Fox Business Network staple Mornings with Maria. The show aired its final episode on Thursday morning. In addition to her daily morning program, she served as the host of Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street, where she interviewed high-profile guests from the worlds of finance, politics, and industry.

The news of the Fox News anchor’s exit marks a significant shift in the network’s business programming lineup. While the network has remained tight-lipped regarding the specific reasons for the separation, the move follows a lengthy career for Bartiromo at the network, where she became a central figure for both Fox Business and the wider Fox News brand.

Bartiromo joined the network in 2014, following a high-profile, two-decade stint at CNBC. Her transition to Fox was a major industry headline at the time, and she quickly established herself as a cornerstone of the Fox Business Network’s morning rotation.

As of Thursday afternoon, representatives for Bartiromo had not issued a personal statement regarding the departure or her future career plans. Viewers and industry analysts alike are now awaiting further details on how the network plans to fill the vacancy left in its morning programming block.
