Do You think CNBC is foxerizing their Network?

Quote from dealer:

Assuming you are NOT a US equities trader then do yourselves a favour; if you MUST watch cnbc then you should be watching the UK and Asian broadcasts.

These are available in the US depending on your cable provider.

I second that, CNBCW is much better than the US feed, it's available on dish. Along the same lines, Bloomberg is also better than CNBC, my opinion.

CNBC is on during the day? Damn. Personally, I like the golf channel.

You mean with that little blond girl, and she goes I need some shoes...blah blah

Quote from FaderTrader:

It's getting kitschy. I think it's part of this whole trading bubble we're in - ala Mad Money and all these retail traders who rush home from the plant to enter orders into thier Etrade account.

Speaking of which, those Ameritrade commercials seriously piss me off.

take a look at linda stouffer and brooke typical reporters now aday. You cant look ugly, or without style nowawdays in news. I bet you on cnbc, in about 2 years, you probably wont find maria bartimono, or becky quick. Most of the reporters would be in the 25-35 year age.

To be fair, I think CNBC will always have a monopoly on bald/balding 50yo white male commentators. That's basically "the look" for most economists.

With that said, correct - thier reporters will continue to increasingly be the stereotypical blonde pin cushion.

No complaints here!

Ironically - my fav is the brunette Bear Stearns retail analyst with the motormouth.

I think that hot teacher in handcuffs would be an excellent addition to either CNBC or Bloomberg. Maybe the new Fox business channel.

yeah.. have Maria Fartaroma reporting.... then cut quickly to Joe Kernan who suddenly pops up from under his desk to begin speaking...... 5 seconds later.... out pops the blonde teacher buttoning her shirt and walking off camera...
