Veteran Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto is exiting after 28 years with the network.
Cavuto has hosted the afternoon program Your World on Fox News since the channel launched in 1996. He will announce his departure at the end of his Thursday show, according to Mediaite, which first reported the news.
Cavuto also has also hosted Cavuto: Coast to Coast on Fox Business Network.
“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,” a Fox News spokesperson said in a statement. “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.”
Cavuto also hosts Cavuto Live, a two-hour weekend show that focuses on politics and business.
Cavuto was reportedly offered a new deal at Fox after his current contract expired in December, but he declined to renew, we hear.
Before joining Fox, Cavuto was a principal anchor and reporter for CNBC, where he co-anchored the network’s initial broadcast on April 17, 1989. He also worked with PBS for 15 years reporting for Nightly Business Report and was a New York City bureau chief.
Cavuto has been outspoken over the years on various issues and faced criticism from some viewers, such as when he urged them to get the Covid-19 vaccine. He also has occasionally criticized President-elect Donald Trump , with Trump and some fans of Trump responding in kind, but his departure supposedly has nothing to do with the incoming President.
