Maria Bartiromo has left Fox Business; her morning program ended Thursday and the network is moving to a rotating-anchor format under the new name Mornings with Fox Business. The departure comes after more than a decade with the company, and Fox Business says it will relaunch daytime programming in the weeks ahead. Details about why she left remain limited, and the network has signaled a quick schedule reshuffle.
Reports confirm that Maria Bartiromo is no longer hosting Mornings with Maria, and the show’s final broadcast under her name aired Thursday. She spent roughly 12 and a half years with the network, becoming one of its most visible on-air personalities during that time. The change was announced as part of a broader programming update.
Fox Business has indicated the morning slot will continue, but under a new banner and with multiple anchors filling the role. The weekday program will be retitled Mornings with Fox Business and will employ a rotation of hosts rather than a single permanent anchor. Network officials said a revised daytime schedule will arrive in the coming weeks as they test the new lineup.
Alongside the morning shift, the weekly program that carried Bartiromo’s name will also be rebranded and rehosted. “Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Stree,” which aired on Fridays, is set to become “FBN’s Wall Street,” with Cheryl Casone hosting this week and other anchors rotating thereafter. Those changes suggest the network plans to keep the franchises but strip personal branding tied to a single host.

Maria Bartiromo, the one-time CNBC darling who parlayed her success in covering Wall Street to a job at Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network, has heard the closing bell at the news organization.
“We thank Maria for her work over the last 12 ½ years and wish her all the best on her next chapter,” the company said in a statement Thursday.
Bartiromo’s last “Mornings with Maria” aired Thursday morning at Fox Business Network, and the show will be retitled “Morning with Fox Business” and employ a rotation of anchors. “Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Stree,” which airs weekly on FBN Fridays, will become “FBN’s Wall Street” and will be hosted by Cheryl Casone this week and then rotating anchors following. Fox Business Network will launch a new daytime programming schedule in weeks to come. effective this week hosted by Cheryl Casone and helmed by rotating anchors thereafter.
Insiders and viewers alike are left to speculate about motive and timing, because the public explanation is brief and tightly worded. There could be internal dynamics at play — everything from contract negotiations to editorial direction — but no detailed rationale has been offered so far. That lack of clarity fuels both industry chatter and broader curiosity about what this signals for cable business news.
Bartiromo’s profile rose sharply during her career on business television, and her move into opinion and feature-style reporting at Fox made her a familiar face to a large audience. For years she bridged market coverage and broader political conversations, which built a distinct niche and brought clear recognition. Recasting those shows under a generic network title appears aimed at preserving audience continuity while removing a single personality from the equation.
The immediate programming pivot emphasizes Fox Business’s intent to keep the time slots and brands but to experiment with multiple hosts sharing duties. Cheryl Casone is named to handle the first week of the newly titled weekly show, and the rest of the daytime roster will rotate through both the morning and Friday programs. A rotating-anchor model gives the network flexibility to evaluate chemistry, ratings, and audience response before committing to long-term replacements.
For viewers who followed Bartiromo’s work closely, the change will be noticeable, but it may not radically alter the network’s editorial posture overnight. Shows can retain format, guests, and segments even with different on-air talent, and Fox Business has signaled it will maintain a daytime lineup focused on markets and commentary. How ratings and advertiser interest respond over the next few weeks should determine whether the rotation becomes permanent or leads to a single successor.
