It was recently announced that Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly will not be returning to the network. This follows allegations of sexual harassment made against the popular host which he has denied.
This is just the latest in a string of high-profile departures from Fox News. In 2016 then-Fox News chairman Roger Ailes resigned amid his own sexual harassment scandal. And last year popular host Megyn Kelly left the network for a new job at NBC.
So who else has left Fox News in recent years? Here’s a look at some of the most notable departures:
1. Bill O’Reilly
As mentioned Bill O’Reilly will not be returning to Fox News after allegations of sexual harassment. O’Reilly has been with Fox News since its inception in 1996 and was the network’s highest-rated host.
2. Megyn Kelly
Megyn Kelly was one of the most popular hosts on Fox News. She left the network last year for a new job at NBC where she now hosts her own daytime show “Megyn Kelly Today.”
3. Roger Ailes
Roger Ailes was the chairman of Fox News from its launch in 1996 until he resigned in 2016 amid sexual harassment allegations. Ailes died in 2017.
4. Greta Van Susteren
Greta Van Susteren was a popular host on Fox News for many years. She left the network in 2016 for MSNBC but left that network after just six months. She is now a host on Voice of America.
5. Shepard Smith
Shepard Smith is one of the few Fox News hosts who is openly critical of President Donald Trump. He has been with the network since its inception and shows no signs of leaving anytime soon.
These are just some of the most notable departures from Fox News in recent years. With such a high turnover rate it will be interesting to see who the network taps to replace these big names.
