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.
