    Of the news, Chairman and CEO of FOX News Roger Ailes said, “I tapped Maria to report live from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange while at CNBC, and I am delighted to have her join me once again alongside our star lineup at FOX Business.”

    It has been noted that Ailes and Bartiromo have talked about a move to FOX off and on for five years. According to Ailes, “I finally decided that she’d be terrific in our lineup, and it happened to fit her timing and her contract. And she’ll be seen on Fox News. She’s a star, and she’ll do some fill-in anchoring.”
