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’s departure also brings an end to her roles across both Fox News and Fox Business Network. Her tenure included a lengthy run covering markets, business, and politics for the company.
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 statement
What Remains Unclear: Fox News hasn’t announced when Bartiromo’s final appearances will air or whether another role remains available for her. The network also hasn’t identified who will permanently succeed her on Sunday Morning Futures. Additionally, details about Bartiromo’s next professional move remain unknown.
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.

Bartiromo broke some big stories in her career, especially back in her CNBC days.
Maybe it was a dispute over a contract renewal. From Fox Business' current roster, her best replacement would be Charles Payne.
This one shocked because I think that hers was the most-watched show on the network. Too much politics, but she still had some interesting business and finance types as regular guests.
Could be the next Press Secretary.
Kevion Corke?
Recently some of her segments felt like infomercials.
Well this one is ACTUALLY shocking. She has been great.
That would be great!!! I’m still partial to the conservative on CNN as he’s quick on his feet- but Maria is pro Trump and won’t back down...
Norah O’Donnell returns to ‘CBS Mornings’ after evening news stint

That’d be a big step-down, not just in salary but in prestige. I also think she’s a bit old for that gig.
Google says the average starting age of the past 10 presidential press secretaries was 38.9 years. She’s 58. (I looked it up and was surprised. I thought she was older, but maybe that’s because she’s be on the air forever.)
I figured her days were numbered when she dared to call the inflation numbers “troubling”. That’s extremely disloyal to the admin.
NorDUH O'Donnell is just awful, as bad as Gayle King. No talent at CBS.
I think she would have announced that
I doubt FOX would have let her go if still under contract.
Agreed. I’m very sorry to see her leave.
Not sure if having a “business” channel is needed.
I stopped watching FAUX News several years ago, but the DH still DVRs and watches some shows. Maria’s is among them.
I am in another room with the door closed when he watches most of these programs. Can’t tell you how good Maria is at what she does, but I can say someone needs to tell her to tone down the volume. Her voice and that of the annoying Dana Perino drill right through the door and attack my poor ears.
They definitely turned down her volume today.
