Neil Cavuto, a longtime Fox News anchor who joined when it launched in 1996, is exiting the cable news network.

Cavuto’s contract with Fox News was due to expire at the end of 2024; the network offered him a new deal and he declined, a source familiar with the situation said. His departure comes as TV news orgs across the board continue to try to rationalize costs for high-priced talent. Cavuto has overseen business news content for both Fox News and Fox Business Network and led special events coverage for FBN.

Cavuto, 66, currently anchors “Your World” (weekdays 4-5 p.m.) on Fox News, “Cavuto Coast to Coast” (weekdays 12-1 p.m.) on Fox Business Network and Fox News’ “Cavuto Live” on Saturdays from 10 a.m.-12 p.m.

During his tenure at Fox Business, Cavuto had led all of the network’s election coverage since 2007, including the marathon election-night special report in 2020. Cavuto contributed to the network’s 2024 election coverage as well as the breaking coverage surrounding the Russian invasion of Ukraine, including a special edition of “Cavuto Live” dedicated to the breaking news. Earlier in 2022, he hosted an town hall on FBN’s “Cavuto: Coast to Coast” titled “Inflation in America.”

1. One of the less "horrible" among them as I recall. (I don't watch so things could have changed)

8. I'm sure the replacement will be a hundred times worse.

2. I've done all the damage I can, it's time to move on.

3. He didn't like Trump

He must be one of the last anti Trumpers to exit. Fox is full on MAGA now.

4. He's Walter Cronkite compared to the rest of them

Which made him a marked man for MAGA. Good move for his sanity if that was the factor.

5. Whoever replaces him will be much worse.

I assure you.

6. ...maybe...

...he found his long lost soul...(too little too late)

7. This is Trump taking another scalp

Trump told Murdoch he wanted Cavuto out, and thus, Cavuto is out. Simple as that. They offered him a new contract number that they knew he would have to refuse.
