NEW YORK — Maria Bartiromo is out at Fox News Media after more than 12 years with the company, bringing an abrupt end to one of the most recognizable careers in financial television.
Fox News Media announced Sept. 3 that Bartiromo was no longer with the company effective immediately. The network did not provide a reason for the departure.
“We thank Maria for her work over the last 12 ½ years and wish her all the best on her next chapter,” Fox said in its announcement.
Bartiromo’s final episode of “Mornings with Maria” aired Thursday morning on Fox Business Network. Beginning Friday, the program will be renamed “Mornings with FOX Business” and will use rotating anchors.
Her weekly program “Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street” is also being rebranded as “FBN’s Wall Street.” Cheryl Casone will host the first edition under the new name, with rotating anchors expected afterward.
Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” another program closely associated with Bartiromo, will be hosted this weekend by former Congressman Jason Chaffetz while the network searches for a permanent replacement.
A Major Fox Business Presence
Bartiromo joined Fox Business and Fox News in 2014 after a long career at CNBC, where she became one of the best-known personalities in business journalism.
At Fox, she became a major part of the company’s financial-news operation, anchoring weekday coverage before the opening bell while also hosting weekend programs focused on markets, politics and national affairs.
Her programs remained competitive shortly before her departure.
In April 2026, Fox said “Mornings with Maria” had its highest-rated month since November 2024 with 128,000 viewers. “Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street” also posted its strongest month since February 2025 and drew 111,000 viewers, according to figures released by Fox.
That makes the timing of her exit especially notable: Fox is making the change while its business operation remains highly competitive and Bartiromo’s programs were still posting strong ratings.
Fox Gives No Explanation
The biggest unanswered question is why Bartiromo is leaving.
Fox’s announcement offered no explanation beyond confirming that she is no longer with the company.
The Associated Press reported that Bartiromo had not publicly explained the departure at the time of the announcement.
Her exit immediately leaves Fox Business with several programming decisions to make, including finding a permanent replacement for her weekday morning role and determining the long-term future of “Sunday Morning Futures.”
Fox also said it plans to announce a new weekday Fox Business programming schedule in the coming weeks.
End of a 12½-Year Run
Bartiromo’s departure removes one of Fox Business Network’s longest-running and most recognizable anchors.
For now, the network is moving quickly to replace her branding across its schedule, but it has said nothing publicly about what led to the split.
The only confirmed fact is that the relationship is over: after 12½ years, Maria Bartiromo is no longer with Fox News Media.
