Weeks after Fox News announced Maria Bartiromo's sudden exit from the network, more information about the TV personalities and programs replacing her is being revealed.
Fox Business Network announced on Oct. 1 that her three-hour show "Mornings with Maria" will now be replaced with "Big Money in the Morning" from 6 to 9 a.m. ET weekdays. The program, which will feature Dagen McDowell, Brian Brenberg, Taylor Riggs and Josh Schafer, is an expansion of the network's "The Big Money" franchise.
The move will have McDowell and Brenberg transitioning away from their evening duties on "The Bottom Line" as they pivot to mornings. Their previous 6 p.m. slot will be replaced by reruns of "Kudlow," which airs live at 4 to 5 p.m.
McDowell and Brenberg, as well as Riggs,
will no longer be on "The Big Money Show," which broadcasts noon to 2 p.m. Their spots will be replaced by rotating co-hosts Cheryl Casone, Marcus Lemonis and Lou Basenese as host Jackie DeAngelis remains on the show.
"Claman's Power Players," hosted by Liz Claman, will air Fridays from 7 to 7:30 p.m. ET. The program will feature "industry titans, business leaders and creators on what will move Wall Street and Main Street in the week ahead," according to the network.
The new lineup will begin Oct. 12.
What happened to Maria Bartiromo at Fox News?
During her 12-year tenure, Bartiromo anchored "Mornings with Maria" and "Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street" on Fox Business. She also led Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures," which is now hosted by Larry Kudlow, through Nov. 8. A permanent replacement, following the midterm elections, will be announced at a later date.
Fox News Media announced they were cutting ties with the anchor effective immediately in a Sept. 3 press release. Bartiromo, who was with the network for over a decade, had not appeared on any of her shows since Aug. 9.
"We thank Maria for her work over the last 12½ years and wish her all the best on her next chapter," the brief statement said, offering no further explanation.
Bartiromo's attorney has denied that she was fired by Fox, while Vice President JD Vance dismissed the idea that she might be hired as the new White House press secretary.
Status previously reported that her ousting stemmed from an incident involving a leak to the White House.
Bartiromo has not publicly addressed her departure beyond social media posts expressing gratitude "for the outpouring of love" from supporters.
Bartiromo joined Fox Business to cover Wall Street in 2014 after two decades at CNBC. She became known for being the first woman to report from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and for her staunch support of the Trump administration.
