Neil Cavuto, a prominent figure in business news and a Fox News veteran since 1996, is departing the network. Cavuto, 66, chose to leave after being offered a lower salary in a new contract. His exit follows a trend of cost-cutting measures in the TV news industry, leading to reduced salaries for big-name anchors. Cavuto is known for his business-oriented program 'Your World' and for occasionally criticizing former President Trump, a stance that didn't always resonate with Fox News' conservative audience.
Neil Cavuto , the first anchor hired by Fox News in 1996, is leaving the network, another casualty of cost-cutting in the TV news business. Cavuto, 66, will make his final appearance on the network Thursday on 'Your World,' his long-running daily business-oriented program. His current deal is up at the end of the month.
Cavuto is one of the few Fox News anchors who frequently criticized President-elect Trump, which did not always please the conservative viewers who make up much of the network's audience. The anchor had a sense of humor about the audience's love-hate relationship with him. When he returned after one of his long medical leaves, he read messages from viewers who were disappointed that he was back. Throughout his career, Cavuto has battled a number of health issues over the years.
