The half-hour weekly nationally syndicated series is produced by CNBC in conjunction with the editors of The Wall Street Journal and distributed by NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution.
Bartiromo will continue her CNBC hosting duties on Closing Bell with Maria Bartiromo and Closing Bell with Maria Bartiromo and Tyler Mathisen, as well as remaining part of the Squawk Box team.
Former host Consuelo Mack will continue on in an expanded role during CNBC's Business Day programming, along with acting as the substitute host for Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street.

"I'm excited for the opportunity to reach a broader audience with The Wall Street Journal Report,” Bartiromo said in a prepared statement.
“I'm looking forward to bringing a fresh voice to the program and continuing to democratize information for its viewers,” she added. “The show will be reformatted to capitalize on my strengths, featuring interviews with the newsmaking people in business each week."
