Neil Cavuto, one of Fox News’ most enduring anchors, is set to sign off at the end of this year, marking the close of an era as the network prepares to welcome a new generation of reporters to cover the incoming Trump administration.

In an exclusive scoop from Mediaite, Cavuto—best known for hosting “Your World with Neil Cavuto”—will deliver his final broadcast on Thursday, concluding a remarkable 28-year career with Fox News. As one of the few on-air talents who have been with the network since its inception in 1996, Cavuto has become a veritable encyclopedia of conservative business news, imparting his deep institutional knowledge to millions of viewers over nearly three decades.

A Storied Career and Legacy
Neil Cavuto, 66, cut his teeth in cable news long before the rise of opinion journalism. Originally a respected business reporter at CNBC, he joined Fox News at its very beginning, quickly establishing himself as a trusted voice in the field. Over the years, Cavuto not only hosted and directed his flagship program but also served concurrently as Fox’s vice president of business news starting in 2006. His unique blend of analytical rigor and affable presentation has allowed him to author five best-selling books, each urging Americans to take a closer look at their personal finances.

Throughout his tenure, Cavuto has provided a calm and measured perspective on economic and political developments, often straddling the ideological divide. Although he is firmly rooted in conservative values, his willingness to question and critique has occasionally set him apart from his more partisan colleagues. For instance, he did not shy away from condemning anti-Covid vaccine rhetoric after a near-fatal battle with the virus, and he has described some of President Trump’s statements—such as allegations concerning FEMA workers during a recent hurricane season—as “misinformation.” Despite these disagreements, sources close to Fox News maintain that Cavuto’s occasional Trump-skeptic comments had no bearing on his decision to leave; indeed, if the network had intended to censure his viewpoints, his show would have been terminated long ago.
