Neil Cavuto Says Goodbye to Fox News: Key Details Revealed

Neil Cavuto is no longer with Fox News.

Following Thursday's program, Fox News Channel will lose Neil Cavuto, a business journalist who has hosted a weekday afternoon show since the channel's founding in 1996. Cavuto is not regarded as one of Fox Business Network's opinion-driven hosts, despite hosting shows on the network's sister business. The network declared, "We are incredibly proud of Neil Cavuto's incredible 28-year tenure with Fox News Media. His remarkable career has been a masterclass in journalism." His shows have established industry standards and defined business news. We send him our warmest regards and hope that his next chapter is filled with success.

Cavuto, who has occasionally irritated former President Donald Trump, has not interviewed him since 2017, in contrast to many Fox reporters. For instance, Cavuto once claimed on his program that Trump "decisively lost" a debate with Kamala Harris, a Democrat. Cavuto said last summer that Trump attributes stock market increases to investors anticipating his comeback to power, while he attributes declines to Democrats. Trump referred to Cavuto's exit as "good news for America," all caps, on social media on Thursday. He continued, "This should have happened a long time ago."

According to someone familiar with the talks, Cavuto's resignation has nothing to do with this, even though Fox would lose one of the few figures who occasionally irritated Trump. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to their lack of authorization to discuss contracts, stated that Cavuto's contract was coming to an end. Cavuto chose to leave after being given a renewal. It has been claimed that certain well-known people have been requested to accept wage reductions due to the financial difficulties facing the television news industry. Some have choose to depart instead, such as Hoda Kotb from the "Today" program. Cavuto, 66, has persevered in his career despite major health issues, such as multiple sclerosis, heart surgery, and the long-term effects of COVID-19.

Who will take Cavuto's prime spot at 4 p.m. Eastern Time, right before the network's wildly successful show The Five, is still unknown.
