MUMBAI: Exactly after a year he quit CNN on 11 November 2009, anchor Lou Dobbs has joined Fox Business Network. He will host and develop a daily television show that will start early next year.

At CNN, he was termed as one of the most influential anchors in business journalism after his show Moneyline drew the attention of viewers in the 1990s. After spending nearly three decades at the network, Dobbs quit.

His views denouncing illegal immigration and challenging President Barack Obama to produce his birth certificate made him a focus of political controversy. On CNN‘s request, Dobbs tried to tone things down but after he was unsuccessful, he quit.

After quitting the network, Dobbs hosted a weekday syndicated radio show. He was also considering running for political office.
