Fox News Host Neil Cavuto Exits Network After 28 Years — Watch His Farewell Message to Viewers

Neil Cavuto, who has been an on-air personality at Fox News for nearly 30 years, is exiting the network, TVLine has confirmed.

“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.”

According to Mediaite, which broke the news, Cavuto was offered a new deal at Fox after his current contract expired in December, but he declined to renew.

Cavuto has been a staple of Fox News’ programming since 1996, when he began hosting the business news program Your World With Neil Cavuto. He has also hosted the weekend news program Cavuto Live, as well as the Fox Business series Cavuto: Coast to Coast, and contributed to Fox News’ special event coverage over the years.

Cavuto said his goodbyes on Thursday’s episode of Your World, telling viewers: “I wanted to let you know this is my final show. I’m leaving Fox. I’ve been planning this day for some time. This just seemed like a good time… I’m not leaving journalism, I’m just leaving here. But I’m forever grateful to my bosses here.” He added: “My Irish mom used to say, ‘We should count our blessings and never forget who blessed us.’ In the end, that should be our focus, and that is mine tonight. Not all the stuff that divides us or the nastiness that embitters us, but the far more important stuff that unites us and defines us and lifts us. I tried to appeal to those better angels, and I’m grateful you gave me that chance.”

Your World will reportedly be hosted by a rotating lineup of anchors in the coming weeks, as will Coast to Coast (which will be renamed Fox Business Live). More permanent host announcements will be shared in 2025.

Prior to his long tenure at Fox, Cavuto served as a business journalist for CNBC, NBC News and PBS.
