Fox News Channel has confirmed Snow's appointment to the job.

It's so nice to have good news to report about Tony Snow, who by all accounts is a wonderful human being. I've enjoyed him in his TV, radio, and news columnist roles for years, and I look forward to watching him in his new job working with President Bush.

Update: Captain's Quarters has some good thoughts on what Tony will bring to his new position.
