John Stossel and 'Stache Leaving '20/20' [View All]

[NikolaC]

Longtime '20/20' sleuth John Stossel is leaving ABC after a 28-year run on the Friday night news magazine. He'll be moving over to Fox Business Network
for his own weekly one-hour program starting in October, he has confirmed on his blog.

"It's time for a change," he exclaimed. "In one month, I leave ABC News."

Stossel, who joined '20/20' in 1981 and upgraded to co-anchor in 2003, will also make regular appearances on Fox News Channel. An opening in his ABC contract allowed him to jump ship for Fox, where he is expected to sign a multi-year deal. He won't be an unfamiliar face to the Fox faithful. The outspoken Libertarian has been a frequent guest on 'The O'Reilly Factor' and 'The Big Story.'

"I'm grateful to ABC News for allowing me to do stories that challenged conventional wisdom, and occasionally enraged many of its viewers. But it's said that everyone should change jobs every 7 years. I've been at ABC for 28 years ..."
