CNBC announced on Wednesday that former Fox News anchor Shepard Smith is joining the network to host a one-hour evening news program on weekdays at 7 p.m. ET.

The newscast, which will be called "The News with Shepard Smith," is set to launch in the fall. Smith's title will be chief general news anchor and chief breaking general news anchor.

Smith joins CNBC after spending 23 years at Fox News Channel, where he anchored "Shepard Smith Reporting," "The Fox Report" and "Studio B." He also served as chief news anchor of the network and managing editor of the breaking news division.

"I am honored to continue to pursue the truth, both for CNBC's loyal viewers and for those who have been following my reporting for decades in good times and in bad," Smith said in a press release.

Good for him. There's like two real 'journalists' left on the air at Foxnews and it seems that their talent incubator is just lessons on ' How to be racist without relying on slurs,'

Over time hopefully it starves em of the talent required to at least slightly look legitimate

No one on Fox News prime time is a journalist. They're talking-heads.

Shep's stuff on Fox was pretty good.

CNBC? Come on Shep really?... hopefully he kills it and moves to a close time slot to Ari Melber on MSNBC.

Or hell I wish Shep, Ari, and a few others start their own News Network. Hate to have to give NBC News ratings.

For some reason, this just reminded me that Megan Kelly existed. Though, that was to NBC, and not CNBC.

CNBC Cancels Shepard Smith’s Show Amid Business-News Push

The veteran journalist, who arrived at the NBCUniversal venue in the fall of 2020 with a mission to grow the network's audience in early evening with a non-partisan general-news program, will leave CNBC as it focuses more intently on its core product: information tailored for viewers interested in the markets and personal finance.

Smith's last show will air later in November, and CNBC intends to replace his program, "The News with Shepard Smith," with an evening hour devoted to business news in early 2023.

I wonder where he'll go now or if he'll stay at NBC and do something else.
