Neil Cavuto, a longtime Fox News anchor and business journalist, left Fox News after 28 years with the network. His contract was set to expire at the end of 2024, and although Fox News offered him a new deal, he declined, reportedly due to a likely lower salary offer amid cost-cutting measures in the TV news industry
. Cavuto hosted the daily business-oriented program "Your World" since Fox News launched in 1996 and also anchored shows on Fox Business Network. He signed off from Fox News for the final time in December 2024, expressing gratitude for his time at the network and emphasizing that he was not leaving journalism, just Fox News
. His departure was unrelated to politics, despite his occasional clashes with former President Donald Trump, who frequently criticized Cavuto for fact- checking and critical coverage. Trump publicly celebrated Cavuto's exit, calling it "GOOD NEWS FOR AMERICA" and labeling him the "lowest rated anchor on Fox"
. Fox News praised Cavuto’s career as "a master class in journalism" and acknowledged his significant impact on business news coverage
. In summary, Neil Cavuto left Fox News after nearly three decades due to contract negotiations amid network cost-cutting, not due to political reasons, and he plans to continue his journalism career elsewhere
