Maria Bartiromo Leaves Fox News After 12 Years: What Happened and What’s Next?
Maria Bartiromo is leaving Fox News Media after more than 12 years with the company, marking the end of a long career at one of America’s biggest television news organizations.
Fox News Media announced on September 3, 2026, that Bartiromo is no longer with the company, effective immediately. The network thanked her for her 12½ years of work and wished her well in the next chapter of her career.
What Happened to Maria Bartiromo?
Fox News Media did not publicly provide a specific reason for Bartiromo’s departure.
Bartiromo had been one of the best-known business television personalities in the United States. She hosted several programs across Fox Business and Fox News, including “Mornings with Maria,” “Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street” and “Sunday Morning Futures.”
Her departure was announced Thursday, September 3, and the network is already changing the programming associated with her shows.
What Happens to Her Fox Business Shows?
Fox Business is replacing the “Mornings with Maria” branding with “Mornings with FOX Business,” which will use rotating anchors.
Her weekly program “Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street” is also being renamed “FBN’s Wall Street.” Cheryl Casone will host the program initially, with rotating anchors expected afterward.
Meanwhile, Jason Chaffetz is scheduled to host “Sunday Morning Futures” this Sunday while Fox News determines a permanent host.
