Hotties leaving CNBC - Why ?

Quote from Pekelo:

You Sir know shit, I mean you are mistaken...



"Mr Zucker’s leadership of the company. So, it is little surprise that he is eager to talk about CNBC, the business news channel that has just delivered its fourth year of double-digit growth in operating profits.

"NBC Universal does not disclose such numbers, but CNBC is reputed to have become its second-most lucrative channel after USA Networks, with an operating profit of between $300m and $400m. "

" CNBC claimed the wealthiest viewers of any cable network in US trading hours in the fourth quarter, citing Nielsen figures "

Funny how different a year can be. The article I had read was cited a few posts lower is from 2011. Your's is from 2010. The article from 2011 acknowledges that the chanel has hisotically been very profitable.

Since you are living in January 2010, I'll give you a hint for your trading. Short Goldman now! I think it's around 160. You won't be sorry.

Ok, I'll say it the only one I miss is that beautiful German lady they would have on every so often. I wish I could remember her name. Not sure she was a CNBC employee, but what a "hottie". :D :D :D

However, I'm not too keen on the new hire Trish Regan (perhaps because of her CNBC background?) - she seems to be lacking much substance. Maybe a little harsh thoug / too early to judge her?

I would be much stronger than "seems." Her incompetence on topics at hand is astounding. I actually mute Bloomberg now when she is live. Could care less what someone looks like while I'm working. Like most I only listen to it on background with occasional head turn for data streamer. She has CNBC written all over her cheap/interrupting delivery. Not that it will do much, I emailed Adam Johnson to notify him that this new addition needs much work and I will likely watch him less since they are tied together. Some of the anchor interactions with Regan are tepid, you can sense internally they are saying to themselves "what a ditz!"
