Chris Wallace announces he is leaving Fox News after 18 years, and is now headed to work for CNN's new streaming platform.
Wallace, 74, thanked viewers for joining him every week on"Fox News Sunday," adding that he's enjoyed his time on Fox but that it was his time to step away.
He noted that when he joined the network, he was promised by Fox News executives that they would not interfere with his work and that they have"kept that promise." CNN announced in a press release following Wallace's on-air statement that he will join as an anchor on CNN+, a streaming news service that is expected to launch next year. Jeff Zucker, CNN chairman, described it as a rare opportunity to bring someone of Wallace's"caliber" to such a new project.
Wallace, son of former"60 Minutes" correspondent Mike Wallace, joined Fox News in 2003 following stints at NBC News and ABC News. He's built a reputation as a tough interviewer, often hitting guests with what some have called interrogation-style sit downs.
