Longtime Fox News anchor Shepard Smith has left the network, with his final show having aired Friday afternoon.

Fox confirmed the departure on Friday, noting that a series of rotating anchors will host “Shepard Smith Reporting” at 3 p.m. ET until a new program is announced. “Recently I asked the company to allow me to leave FOX News and begin a new chapter,” Smith said in a statement. “After requesting that I stay, they graciously obliged. The opportunities afforded this guy from small town Mississippi have been many. It’s been an honor and a privilege to report the news each day to our loyal audience in context and with perspective, without fear or favor.”
