Fox News Media announced on Thursday, Sept. 3, that it has cut ties with anchor Maria Bartiromo. The departure is effective immediately. The network did not provide a reason for the exit.

Bartiromo's last appearances occurred on Fox Business Network on Aug. 7 and Fox News on Aug. 9. She spent more than 12 years at the company, having joined in 2014 as Fox Business Network's global markets editor. During her tenure, she interviewed President Donald Trump several times and co-moderated two debates during the 2016 presidential cycle.

We thank Maria for her work over the last 12½ years and wish her all the best on her next chapter,

the company said in a statement.

Programming changes

Following the departure, several programming shifts will occur:

• Starting Friday, Sept. 4, Mornings with Maria will transition into Mornings with FOX Business using a rotating slate of anchors.
• Maria Bartiromo's Wall Street will be renamed FBN's Wall Street, with Cheryl Casone hosting during its return.
• Jason Chaffetz will host Sunday Morning Futures on Fox News Channel starting Sunday, Sept. 6.

Fox Business Network plans to launch a new weekday programming schedule, which will be announced in the coming weeks.
