Former Fox News Channel presenter Jim Angle has died.

The 75-year-old passed away on Wednesday at his home in Arlington, Virginia.

“Jim was a FOX News original and a top Washington correspondent whose talent and fearless reporting was unmatched,” said Suzanne Scott, FOX News Media CEO.

“He was a central figure to establishing our Washington bureau in 1996 and was beloved across the entire network for his down-to-earth easygoing demeanor, his kindness and a smile that was ever present.

“He will be greatly missed, and we extend our heartfelt condolences to his entire family.”

He joined Fox News Channel when the network launched in 1996 as a senior White House correspondent where he appeared nightly on “Special Report with Brit Hume.”

Angle, who was also a regular substitute anchor for “Special Report,” covered many of the most important news stories from the early years of Fox News.
