  • Maria Bartiromo Abruptly Out at Fox News After 12½ Years

    Maria Bartiromo Abruptly Out at Fox News After 12½ Years

    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. 

  • Jelly Roll’s Political Turn Could Test the Audience That Helped Make Him a Star

    Jelly Roll’s Political Turn Could Test the Audience That Helped Make Him a Star

    By Auxio.tv News | August 28, 2026

    Jelly Roll has spent years building one of the broadest audiences in popular music.

    His story of addiction, incarceration, recovery, faith and redemption resonated especially strongly with listeners who saw him as something different from the increasingly political entertainment establishment.

    This week, that image began to change.

    While guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Jelly Roll moved directly into political comedy, taking shots at President Donald Trump, criticizing the U.S.–Canada trade dispute and responding to criticism from Fox News. ABC’s own description of Wednesday’s monologue highlights those subjects directly. 

    By Friday, Jelly Roll was addressing the backlash himself, acknowledging that some people were portraying him as a new spokesman for the Hollywood left. He also spoke more seriously about voting, faith, compassion and his desire to represent people who feel ignored. 

    That creates a potentially difficult calculation.

    Jelly Roll’s appeal has never depended on fitting neatly into one political camp. But much of his cultural support has come from an audience that values faith, personal responsibility, second chances and skepticism toward Hollywood politics.

    Stepping behind Jimmy Kimmel’s desk changes the setting.

    Once an artist begins participating in political comedy aimed at Trump, some fans may start viewing him differently — not because musicians cannot have political opinions, but because audiences also have opinions about the brands they support.

    That is the risk.

    Artists often assume their relationship with fans is built entirely around the music. In reality, public image matters too.

    Jelly Roll became successful partly because people believed his story was authentic.

    If his political turn begins to look like assimilation into the same entertainment culture his audience once saw him as separate from, that could weaken one of his strongest advantages.

    It may not.

    His fans could simply accept that he has views of his own.

    But the test has now begun.

    Jelly Roll’s week on Jimmy Kimmel Live! shows how far his career has traveled.

    It may also reveal whether moving closer to Hollywood’s political conversation comes with a cost among the audience that embraced him before Hollywood did.
