Fox News Media announced on Thursday that it had parted ways with Bartiromo, thanking her for her more than 12 years with the company.
US President Donald Trump has reacted to Maria Bartiromo’s departure from Fox News Media, praising the longtime television anchor as a “true warrior” and expressing surprise over the network’s decision to part ways with her.
Bartiromo’s former morning programme is set to transition into Mornings with Fox Business from Friday, September 4. She last appeared on Fox Business Network on August 7 and Fox News on August 9.
“We thank Maria for her work over the last 12 ½ years and wish her all the best on her next chapter,” the network said. The company did not provide a reason for the change and said the decision was effective immediately. She has been, without question, one of the hardest-working journalists throughout her award-winning career,” Freeman said in a statement.
“For many years, Maria Bartiromo hosted three number-one-rated television shows on Fox channels. Meanwhile, Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street is being renamed FBN’s Wall Street. Cheryl Casone will host the programme when it returns, with rotating anchors expected to take over thereafter.
