Murray Feldman, Detroit’s longest current on-air TV personality, is leaving WJBX/Fox 2 after being a steady presence there for four decades, sources tell Crain's Detroit Business.
Feldman, 64, who always sounds well-informed about subjects he covers, started working at the station in 1976. It’s unclear if his exit is a buyout, early retirement, job elimination or something else, Bill Shea writes.
Rumors have circulated in recent days that Fox 2 plans to cut staff. News director Kevin Roseborough, when contacted by Deadline Detroit, referred the call to Fox in New York. A spokeswoman for Fox said at 11:30 a.m. that she was going into a meeting an would talk after.
Feldman is still on air daily at WWJ 950 AM, where he does “The Feldman Report” consumer business news segment.
His station bio says:

You can see him every week night anchoring the 5:30 pm news with Sherry Margolis. His popular Job Shop segments appear in all FOX 2 newscasts. His Murray Money Minutes air during FOX 2 News Morning.
Originally from Philadelphia, Murray graduated in 1973 from Emerson College in Boston with a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications. He has interviewed a half dozen Presidents and leaders of some of our biggest corporations.
