Eventually McDowell started working with FOX, specifically FOX Business Channel. She became the co-host of “Mornings with Maria” which is a news and business program that started airing in 2015, and is also a part of the daily business program “Markets Now”. McDowell is also a regular guest in “Your World with Neil Cavuto” which is one of the longest-running business television programs on Fox News Channel, originally “Cavuto Business Report” at launch. Her net worth increased thanks to these numerous opportunities, and she also joined the radio program “Imus in the Morning” as a business contributor.
