Fox's Bret Baier Signed to Multi-Year Deal

Fox New CEO Roger Ailes has announced that Bret Baier has re-signed a multi-year contract. Baier’s deal with Fox will have him continuing as the anchor of Special Report and lead anchor of political news coverage through the 2016 election.

“Bret’s tough but fair approach to journalism has made him one of the most trusted news anchors in the industry and an integral part of FNC’s success,” Ailes said. “I’m proud to have him at the helm of this year’s election coverage and for years to come.”
