Jim Polito announced that he has left WFXT-TV FOX 25 in Boston.
"Last Tuesday marked my last commentary on FOX 25. It was incredible to work in the Boston market during one of the most amazing news cycles since the Great Molasses Flood of 1919. It was a pleasure and honor to work with some very talented people. And of course, it was all of the viewer support that made my experience positive and meaningful" Polito said in a statement.
He continued "I am now in the unique position to have a more creative approach and greater editorial control over my news commentary, political opinions, personal views and attitude. I am rising to meet this fantastic new challenge! In two weeks, I will begin the next phase of my career. I treasure all the people who look to me for entertainment, information, news and opinion. I hope you'll follow me on the next big ride. Ritorno al futuro!"
Polito joined FOX 25 as News Commentator in December 2012.
Before joining FOX 25, Polito worked at 580 AM 94.9 FM WTAG NewsTalk in Worcester, MA where he hosted "The Jim Polito Show" and served as Program Director.

Polito joined WGGB in 2000 as a reporter and anchor. Earlier in his career, he was a freelance reporter in New England from 1997 – 1999.
