Fox Business To Debut ‘Big Money In The Morning’ To Replace Maria Bartiromo’s Show

Fox Business Network will launch Big Money in the Morning, with a lineup including Dagen McDowell, Brian Brenberg, Taylor Riggs and Barron’s Josh Schafer, later this month.

The new show will take the 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. ET time slot formerly occupied by Mornings with Maria, which was hosted by Maria Bartiromo pulled from the air early last month. The new show will debut on Oct. 12.

McDowell and Brenberg will move to the mornings from The Bottom Line, the 6 p.m. ET show which will end its run. Repeats of Kudlow will take its place. Meanwhile, the noontime The Big Money Show will add rotating co-hosts Cheryl Casone, Marcus Lemonis and Lou Basenese along with current host Jackie DeAngelis. Liz Claman will launch a new Friday night series, Claman’s Power Players, on Friday nights at 7 p.m. ET.

Big Money in the Morning will be the network’s signature show in advance of the trading day. McDowell has been with Fox News since 2003 and was a founding anchor of Fox Business Network when it launched in 2007. Brenberg joined Fox Business Network in 2020, and Riggs joined in 2022. Schafer is a contributor across the network and is Barron’s Investor Circle Newsletter editor.

The Big Money Show‘s DeAngelis has been co-host of the show since 2023. Casone was part of the team that launched Fox Business in 2007; Basenese, who joined the network last year, is executive vice president of market strategy at Prairie Operating Co. and founder of the financial news site TheBigSkinny.com. Lemonsis joined Fox earlier this year, and is executive chairman and CEO of Beyond.

Fox News Media announced on Sept. 3 that Bartiromo was “no longer with” the network. Donald Trump’s trade adviser, Peter Navarro, wrote an op ed in which he said that Bartiromo shared a text from a Fox Business executive calling on producers to not highlight the president’s July speech on election interference. Most of the networks were concerned that the president would use the primetime address to bring up unfounded claims that the 2020 election was rigged. According to Navarro, Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott then got an “angry” call from the West Wing.
