Kevin Magee, executive vice president of Fox Business Network, is leaving, according to Andrew Kirell of Mediaite.
Kirell reports, “Magee has overseen the day-to-day operations of FBN since its inception as a sister network for the Fox News brand, and has been part of the Fox family since 2001. Prior to that, he was an executive producer for CNBC and a senior producer for Good Morning America.
“Full letter below:
I’m writing you today to tell you that I am leaving FOX Business and Fox News Radio. I’ve been thinking this over for a while now and it was a difficult decision to reach.
It’s impossible to overstate how wonderful my stay here has been in every possible way, but mostly because I got to work with the most professional, hardest-working and smartest group of people in the business. And, boy, did we have fun.
And then there’s Roger Ailes who allowed me incredible opportunities over the last 13+ years first at FOX News, and later at both FOX Business and Fox News Radio. He has been so understanding over the last few weeks as I discussed my plans for the future with him. Thank you, Roger.
As for that future, there will be more for me, but nothing I am prepared to announce today. I’m going to take a week or so to clean up some things. I hope to see many of you personally to thank you.”
