Fox News fired anchor Maria Bartiromo on September 3, 2026, with immediate effect. She had not appeared on television since August 9. The network gave no reason for her departure.
Bartiromo had worked at Fox News and Fox Business Network for 12.5 years. She hosted two programmes: "Mornings with Maria" on weekdays and "Sunday Morning Futures" at weekends. Before joining Fox in 2014, she spent 20 years at CNBC.
Her weekday show will continue under a new name, "Mornings with Fox Business", with different hosts each day. Jason Chaffetz will present "Sunday Morning Futures" for now, and the network will name a permanent host later.
