Former Fox Business anchor Trish Regan hired by American Consequences

Trish Regan

Trish Regan, the Fox Business anchor who left the network earlier this year, has been hired as executive editor of American Consequences, P.J. O’Rourke’s magazine.

Regan left Fox Business in March after controversial on-air remarks she made regarding the coronavirus pandemic — saying it was an effort to hurt President Donald Trump — and the suspension of her show.

Regan was the host of “Trish Regan Primetime,” which expanded upon the leading headlines of the day and their economic impact. She joined the network as an anchor in April 2015.

Previously, Regan hosted “The Intelligence Report with Trish Regan,” a midday market program which often ranked among the top 10 programs on business television.

Prior to Fox Business, Regan was at Bloomberg TV where she served as the anchor of the daily market-close program, “Street Smart with Trish Regan.” While there, she also anchored a series of primetime specials, including the network’s 2012 Presidential campaign coverage. She joined the channel in 2011 from CNBC where she served as a markets and documentary anchor. Her “Marijuana, Inc.” special is still among the network’s highest rated documentaries.

While at CNBC, Regan was a regular contributor to NBC’s “Nightly News” and the “Today Show.”

Previously, Regan worked as a financial correspondent for CBS Evening News, earning an Emmy nomination for investigative journalism in 2007. From 2001-2005, Regan was based in San Francisco where she served as a correspondent for CBS MarketWatch and anchored for the CBS affiliate, KPIX-TV.

  • You were ahead of the curve on the money about the pandemic being used by the left media. It became their biggest talking point in trying to convince the voting public Donald Trump was responsible for the deaths of Americans caused by the Covid 19 virus.

  • Great!
    Ms. Regan is a top echelon Reporter.Very intelligent
    The Executives at Fox are a bunch of spineless whimps. It was an embarrassment the way Ms.Regan was treated.
    Other Cable Networka allow their Anchors to say you ignorant and outrageous things everyday.
    Good luck to her.

  • Really loved her reporting and commentary on Fox. Miss her wit and intelligence about today's world. You will be missed. Fox screwed up big time. Good Luck in your new gig.

  • I wish you the best
    I. Miss you on Fox news, bad judgement on their part. Hope yo see you back on TV at some time
    Keep your values. Good luck

  • A good commentator who's unique forestation and cadence could keep your attention and stop a serial channel surfeer in his tracks. I look forward to being a loyal viewer of Ms Reagan Again. !!!!!
