FOX - Chris Wallace departs Fox News for streaming service CNN+
Veteran broadcast anchor Chris Wallace is leaving left Fox News (NASDAQ:FOX) following 18 years of hard-hitting interviews that have been a fixture of Washington politics. He's leaving the network to join upcoming streaming service CNN+ (NYSE:T), where he will host interviews "across politics, business, sports and culture." Wallace was said to have grown frustrated at the tone at Fox - specifically regarding the network's opinion side - marking the latest shakeup in the cable news world (CNN's Chris Cuomo was fired earlier this month). Quote: "I look forward to the new freedom and flexibility streaming affords in interviewing major figures across the news landscape - and finding new ways to tell stories," Wallace said in a statement. "I want to try something new, to go beyond politics to all the things I'm interested in. I'm ready for a new adventure." Wallace has won several major broadcasting awards, including three Emmy Awards
