Fox Boston Reporter Jacqui Heinrich is leaving the Cox station before it's sold and headed to the mothership. 

Heinrich has been hired as a general assignment reporter at Fox News and will be based out of New York. 

In making the announcement, Fox boss Jay Wallace said, “As we continue to expand our newsgathering operations, we are pleased to welcome Jacqui whose breaking news experience will make a great addition to the FOX News team.”

Heinrich added, “I am thrilled to make the transition from the FOX Boston affiliate to FOX News Channel as a correspondent. Working at the national level has been a dream of mine and I am beyond humbled to continue my journalism career as a reporter for this network.”

Heinrich has been an anchor for Boston 25 News since 2016.
