“After nearly 16 years, I’ve decided to leave Fox Business Network. I’ve been planning for some time to move on when my contract expires, and now that it has, I’m really excited to take on a new challenge.
“Well, I started off years ago in sports broadcasting, and it’s something I’m still passionate about, so now seems like a good time to get back to it. Stay tuned.”
