One of the longest-serving Fox News anchors is hanging up his microphone at the end of the year, leaving it to a new generation of reporters to cover the incoming Trump administration.

Neil Cavuto, the longtime host of “Your World,” will deliver his final show on Thursday and sign off after more than 28 years with Fox, Mediate scooped. As one of the few remaining on-air

talents since the network’s inception in 1996, Cavuto is a walking encyclopedia of conservative history who will be taking his institutional knowledge with him when his contract ends in January.

Sources close to the negotiations say Fox offered him a renewal, but that Cavuto felt his time would be better spent elsewhere.

Employees say he remains a beloved presence at the studios and that there is no bad blood between Cavuto and network executives.

“Neil Cavuto’s illustrious career has been a master class in journalism, and we’re extremely proud of his incredible 28-year run with FOX News Media,” Fox said in a statement to Mediaite. “His

programs have defined business news and set the standard for the entire industry. We wish him a heartfelt farewell and all the best on his next chapter.”
