I HATE the new CNBC!

That's pretty sad if you are depending on CNBC for Crude prices.
Half the time they are not even posting the front month.

That's all I got.
What else can I do?
Do I have any options ? ? ? That would be GREAT.
I've searched all over the internet to find a way to get live (or there about) crude prices, CNBC is the closes thing I've found.

I wish there was something better I could do.

Thanks

I've only been trading for about a year. For the first months of trading I didn't have CNBC and was doing just fine with out it.
Maybe I should turn the TV off as I have not noted any advances in having it on.

Anyway, the biggest reason why I watch CNBC is to get the Crude price.
Unfortunatly now, with their new setup, the Crude Oil price comes on much less often than it did before.

Thanks

You don't need it!

I haven't turned on CNBC ever since they changed it. How is Maria?

Yeah, I really don't care. This is getting stupid.

"Michael Eisner, former chief of the Walt Disney Co., will become host of his own CNBC interview program that will be seen once every two months, the network said Tuesday."

I hate the new ticker that shows the full company, it's terrible.

That news service sucks ass. They never read company specific news until minutes after it's released.

Almost every news story begins with...."Treat this as an update". What good is "news" if it's already minutes old?

From Digital Spy:

Long-running speculation that a CNBC-challenging Fox News spin-off is in the works was confirmed today by the Wall Street Journal.

The paper reports that a Fox Business Channel - a spin-off from Fox News - is set to launch during the first half of 2006. In terms of carriage, Fox Business Channel will be available on DirecTV, a digital satellite provider that is 34% owned by Fox Entertainment Group, which is in turn 82% owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, although Murdoch has reportedly indicated that he wishes to conclude a carriage agreement with Time Warner Cable before launching the channel.
