NEW YORK -- Fox News Channel will not renew a contract with weekend host Rita Cosby, as the two sides couldn't come to an agreement on an extension, the network said.
Cosby hosted "The Big Story Weekend Edition With Rita Cosby" at 9 p.m. Saturday. On Sunday at 6 p.m. she hosted "Fox News Live With Rita Cosby."
Cosby will leave the network immediately. No replacement host has been appointed, nor has a decision been made on the future of the shows, Fox News said.
The 'Big Story' host's departure is immediate
Hopefully Geraldo and Greta are next. I'd like to see Ollie North get a show: pro-military news show re-capping each week's battles/activities and what's in the hopper for them in the next week, both in the M.E and elsewhere.
awwwwwwww
I agree. No major loss for Fox.
I agree!
I know Dennis had a falling out with Roger Ailes, but I really wish they would give him a serious show. I enjoy his interviews and the Varsity Panel, but the Chimp was a mess and I do NOT want to see him in a wacky chef hat. For God's sake, he's not Regis.
Fox News foxes!

I posted that almost 4 years ago, here.
Dennis Miller...white courtesy phone...
She doesn't have a voice--she speaks in a non-voice. It's almost as if one of her vocal cords is paralyzed and the air is just rushing through.
Yeah, that ditz is gone. She was the worst. Not too long ago she was interviewing the pastor of BTK. She asked if any of BTK's family had been to visit him. The pastor said that his family had not. Rita replied something to the affect, "That's gotta be tough." Nothing like a little sympathy for a serial killer. I hope she sent him some flowers or something.
Unforgettable when she flubbed about what the Supreme Court had said. That's when I was first lurking on FR!
Odd that you would say that, I've been thinking lately she's becoming him. Or aspiring to. I never could take her voice for very long intervals. I won't miss her much.
She wasn't that good of a reporter. Being out of breath and 100 poubds overweight isn't an appealing television image, either.
Dennis Miller would be a hoot.
Bill Cosby voice: mwah, you can pay me in jello, mwah!
So what happened in 2000? (Sorry, I really don't know).
