FOX News Media has re-signed Anchor and Global Markets Editor
Maria Bartiromo to a new multiyear deal, extending her tenure with
FOX Business Network (FBN) and FOX News Channel (FNC), announced
Suzanne Scott, CEO of FOX News Media.
In making the announcement, Ms. Scott said, “Maria Bartiromo has
been a pioneer in business journalism for 30 years. As the first
journalist to report live from the floor of the New York Stock
Exchange, she has been a change agent throughout her entire career.
Her exceptional insights and incredible work ethic have been of
tremendous value to FOX Business and FOX News and we’re thrilled to
have her continue anchoring each of her stellar programs for many
more years to come.”
Ms. Bartiromo added, “FOX News and FOX Business have afforded me
the opportunity to grow as a journalist and stretch myself in ways
I’ve never imagined. I am so grateful for the opportunity and look
forward to many more incredible years ahead.”
Joining FOX News Media in 2014, Ms. Bartiromo currently serves
as the anchor of FBN’s Mornings with Maria (weekdays, 6-9
AM/ET) and Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street (Fridays, 9-9:30
PM/ET), as well as FNC’s Sunday Morning Futures (Sundays,
10-11 AM/ET). Throughout her tenure with the networks, she has
provided critical analysis of the issues impacting viewers and
their money, while featuring hard-hitting interviews with both
economic and political titans. She has also consistently led
coverage of the political economy and analysis of major stories,
including the 2016 market reaction to the presidential election and
the origins of the Mueller Report.
Ms. Bartiromo’s signature pre-market program Mornings with Maria
marked its first yearly win over CNBC’s Squawk Box in total viewers
in 2018 and has remained one of the most affluent programs on
cable, according to Nielsen Media Research. Additionally, her FNC
program Sunday Morning Futures routinely ranks as the highest rated
show on Sundays in cable news.
In November 2015, Ms. Bartiromo notably co-moderated the
network’s inaugural Republican presidential primary debate with FNC
and FBN Managing Editor, SVP and Anchor Neil Cavuto. According to
Nielsen Media Research, the debate delivered 13.5 million total
viewers and 3.7 million in the key 25-54 demo, notching the
highest-rated program in FBN’s history. In January 2016, Ms.
Bartiromo reprised her co-moderator role, delivering 11 million
total viewers with 3 million in the key 25-54 demo, making it the
second highest-rated program in network history, according to
Nielsen Media Research.
More recently, Ms. Bartiromo has also led the network’s coverage
of major industry conferences including the World Economic Forum in
Davos, Switzerland, the Cannes Lions International Festival of
Creativity in Cannes, France and the Annual JPMorgan Healthcare
Conference, while also making regular contributions across FOX News
programming to discuss breaking market and financial news.
Throughout her more than five years with FBN and FNC, Ms.
Bartiromo has consistently scored exclusive interviews with the
most prominent leaders in business and economic policy including
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, IBM CEO Ginni Rometty, Oracle CEO
Mark Hurd, Bridgewater Associates Founder Ray Dalio, Microsoft
founder Bill Gates, and Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman, among
many others. Her unparalleled business coverage has also earned her
exclusive sit-downs with numerous heads of state, including
Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald
Trump, as well as the sitting presidents of Brazil, Russia,
Singapore, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom.
Prior to joining FBN and FNC, Ms. Bartiromo was part of the core
team that built CNBC. During her 20-year tenure as the face of
CNBC, she launched the network's morning program, Squawk Box;
anchored The Closing Bell with Maria Bartiromo; and was the anchor
and managing editor of the nationally syndicated On the Money with
Maria Bartiromo, formerly The Wall Street Journal Report with Maria
Bartiromo.
Ms. Bartiromo has been recognized with numerous prestigious
awards, including two Emmys and a Gracie Award. In 1995, she became
the first television journalist to report live from the floor of
the New York Stock Exchange and was the first female journalist to
be inducted into the Cable Hall of Fame Class of 2011.
