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

I'm not Rita fan but no way was she 100 pounds overweight--maybe if her ideal weight was 70 pounds or something.
To: Enterprise

Her "sources" told her she could get more money elsewhere.
...once she dumped 75 pounds or so...

Keep Rita, dump Bill O'Reilly and Alan Colmes instead.

Great idea, he'd be great! As far as Rita (and hopefully Geraldo) I say "good riddance.

I always wonder what the motivation is behind mocking weight...if she's not infringing on your personal space - WHO CARES??? Get a real complaint about someone!

eek! They should NOT have put Rita in any wide (and I do mean w-i-d-e) shot with any of the Fox newsettes! Didn't she ever see how she looks? eeuusshh

This story is proof that God does answer prayers. Every time she got on camera she sounded like she had run half a mile to report the size of the hairball a cat was rumored to have coughed up.
And oh yeah, she had Yasser Arafat's cell number.

Someone help me -- I've forgotten all the news babes who work at Fox. Pics would likely jog my memory. ;)My favorite is Megyn Kendall and Laurie Dhue.

Any idea how much hosts like Cosby, Greta, and Hannity earn each year? A billion million gazillon dollars

Does this mean the Special Sources will leave, too? My sources tell me they won't. ;P
