Mediaite reported that Thursday is Neil Cavuto’s last day at Fox News after 28 years.
Cavuto has been with the network since it started in the late 90s.
Cavuto is not leaving because “of any bad blood.” His contract is up.
Fox News offered a new contract, but “he declined to accept his new deal.”
Fox News released this statement: “Neil Cavuto’s illustrious career has been a master class in journalism and we’re extremely proud of his incredible 28-year run with FOX News Media. His programs have defined business news and set the standard for the entire industry. We wish him a heartfelt farewell and all the best on his next chapter.”
Mediaite noted that Cavuto has been critical of President-elect Donald Trump since his first term. However, if the criticism had anything to do with him leaving, he probably would have been gone a long time ago:
Over the past few years, Cavuto has become an iconoclast on Fox’s dayside programming, a rare voice willing to call out President-elect Donald Trump and face his wrath in return. Outside of politics, Cavuto has been open about his decades-long battle with multiple sclerosis and became a vocal critic of Covid vaccine denialism after a second bout of the virus nearly took his life.Despite Cavuto’s tussles with Trump, a source said Cavuto’s departure has nothing to do with Trump. If his occasional criticism of Trump had been an issue, his show would have likely been canceled years ago, certainly before the election.
Cavuto hosted Your World, Cavuto Live, and Cavuto: Coast to Coast.
Fox News and Fox Business will have new programming in 2025, a source told Mediaite.
