Fox News Parts Ways With Longtime Host Maria Bartiromo After 12-Year Tenure

NEW YORK — Fox News Media officially announced on Thursday that it is parting ways with veteran anchor Maria Bartiromo, bringing an end to a high-profile, 12-year tenure with the network.

The network issued a brief statement regarding the departure, offering little insight into the circumstances surrounding the decision. “We thank Maria for her work and wish her all the best on her next chapter,” the statement read. Fox News declined to provide further details regarding the reasoning behind the separation.

Bartiromo, a prominent figure in financial news broadcasting, was the face of several staple programs for the company. She served as the host of Mornings with Maria on the Fox Business Network, which aired its final episode Thursday morning. In addition to her daily morning show, she was the host of Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street, a program that focused on market analysis and high-level economic commentary.

The news marks a significant shift in the Fox News lineup. Bartiromo joined the network in 2013 following a distinguished two-decade career at CNBC, where she gained widespread recognition as a pioneer in financial reporting.

As of Thursday afternoon, representatives for Bartiromo have not yet issued a personal statement regarding her departure or her future professional plans. Industry observers are now closely watching to see how the network will reorganize its business news programming in the wake of her exit.
