    MUMBAI: Tony Snow, a former Fox News host and White House press secretary, has joined CNN as a conservative political commentator.

    Snow has spent around ten years with Fox News television channel and Fox News Radio. He has also represented Fox News Sunday until 2006, when he took the role with the George W Bush administration.

    Less than a year after becoming White House press secretary, Snow was diagnosed with a recurrence of colon cancer, which is speculated to be the reason for his move.

    He previously worked as a host for CNN before joining Fox in the 1990s.

    Snow will first appear on Larry King Live.

    MUMBAI: Conservative radio presenter Tony Snow is to be named as US President George W Bush’s new press secretary. Snow is expected to be named on 26 April. He replaces Scott McClellan, who resigned last week.

    The 50-year old Snow presently hosts two shows on the Rupert Murdoch-owned Fox News network, Tony Snow Show on Fox News Radio and Weekend Live with Tony Snow on the Fox News Channel. He has also served in the administration of President George H.W. Bush as White House speechwriting director and later as a deputy assistant to the president for media affairs.

    According to the US media reports, Snow however has declined to say whether he had been offered the job. The news was leaked by Republicans close to the White House, who said the press secretary’s job had been offered to Snow and that he had accepted.
