Greta Van Susteren, who has hosted a top-rated evening program at Fox News for 14 years, is leaving the network.
The abrupt announcement today, in the middle of the presidential campaign, was coupled with word that Brit Hume, Fox’s senior political analyst and a former Washington managing editor, will take over as host of “On the Record” through the election.
Hume said he is “happy to take on this assignment for the balance of this extraordinary election. My Fox News colleagues have set a high standard for political coverage which I’ll do my best to uphold. I’m honored to be asked.”
Van Susteren, an attorney who hosted a legal show at CNN before joining Fox, has had a richly varied career, from interviewing presidential candidates to flying off to disaster zones such as Haiti, where she opened an orphanage and school named after her. The Wisconsin native has also been a forceful presence online, with her blog and with more than 1 million Twitter followers.
Bill Shine and Jack Abernethy, recently named co-presidents of Fox News, said in a joint statement: “We are grateful for Greta’s many contributions over the years and wish her continued success.” They also praised Hume as “one of the best political analysts in the industry” and “the ideal choice to host a nightly political program while the most dynamic and captivating election in recent history unfolds.”

Greta was pretty fair and I would watch her show occasionally.
With Hume at the helm I will not bother watching.
Fewer reasons to tune into FOX daily.
I watch Gutfeld and Judge Jannine (sp) on the weekends.....don’t watch The Five anymore......can’t stand Dana Perino and get tired of seeing KG’s cleavage even though I like her but I’m old and I ain’t got time for dat......:)
You said it. And you know who hates Fox News? It’s the “progressives” who do.
Pour me one too.......it’s 5 o’clock somewhere.....;)
So did I and yes she sure did.

After Abrupt Exit From Fox News, Greta’s Husband Hints at Legal Action
I, too, am waiting for Hannity to leave. And Fox and Friends seem to be more favorable toward Trump.?
Catherine Herridge would be perfect for the show.
Maybe you misunderstood my point. When I said waiting for Hannity to leave, i meant it like just waiting for the ones who are not so anti-Trump to be shown the door.
I don’t know why you are choosing to pick on me about my posts or to whom I may direct them to.
I’ll be glad to see her go, and replaced by someone intelligent.
Her pseudo-mobster affectation of talking out of the side of her mouth was way beyond distracting.
Perhaps I did misunderstood your point. I apologize.
I have never heard of the other site
Anyway I guess we'll find out sooner or later
I wish both Greta and Andrea the greatest continued success with their informed professionalism...
Hume is a self appointed “know it all.” Hillary and Obama receive free passes from these people. They elected Obama twice without much opposition from the public.
Just accidentally caught Cameron and Hume on. Cameron was covering Trump and sounded like he was at a wake. Hume was no better and then went on to cite a Mason-Dixon Florida poll more than a week old as new showing HRC up by 2 there.
Apology accepted :)
The only thing left that I will watch about an hour of is FOX and Friends in the morning. I haven’t been watching anything else there anymore.
Looking at Megyn, Brit, Dana, Juan make me ill.
Thanks :)
Brit Hume....boring!!!!!
