After nearly two decades, Fox News anchor Chris Wallace announced Sunday that he is leaving the news network and heading to CNN .

The veteran news anchor, who joined Fox News Channel in 2003, announced his immediate departure from the program Fox News Sunday at its conclusion on Sunday, saying he wants to try something new.

Eighteen years ago, the bosses here at Fox promised me they would never interfere with a guest I booked or a question I asked. And they kept that promise. I have been free to report to the best of my ability, to cover the stories I think are important, to hold our countrys leaders to account. Its been a great ride, he told viewers.

Wallace is headed to CNNs upcoming streaming service, CNN+, the network confirmed in a statement. CNN recently had its own anchor shake-up with its firing of prime-time host Chris Cuomo earlier this month.
