Ex-WSJ editor Baker to host weekly Fox Business show

Fox Business Network will debut a new weekly show hosted by former Wall Street Journal editor Gerard Baker on Nov. 30

The program, titled “WSJ at Large with Gerry Baker,” will air on Fridays at 9:30 p.m., and follow “Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street.”

“I’m thrilled to be starting this new venture at FBN,” said Baker in a statement. “I look forward to the opportunity to explore in depth with some of the finest minds in the world each week the issues and trends that are defining our modern world.”

On his show, Baker will talk with people from the business, finance, politics and tech space about the major news of the week. Baker will also expand upon the larger trends impacting business in America.

In November 2015, Baker joined Bartiromo and managing editor of business news Neil Cavuto to moderate a presidential primary debate on Fox Business.

Baker currently serves as the editor-at-large for The Journal and writes the “Editor at Large” column for the Review section. From 2013 through 2018, Baker held the editor-in-chief title for both Dow Jones and The Journal. He was the news organization’s deputy editor-in-chief between 2009 and 2013.

Previously, Baker was U.S. editor and an assistant editor of the Times of London. In 1994, he joined the Financial Times as Tokyo correspondent, moving on to head the paper’s Washington bureau and serving as the FT’s chief U.S. commentator.
