"the much-rumored Fox Business Channel -- a direct competitor to CNBC -- will probably be in place by the end of 2007. Fox News chief Roger Ailes told me he pegged the probability at "75%."" http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/story.aspx?guid={2DC05D0C-3833-4E0D-B45C-BBCB45F35C27}
I wonder if Fox's recognized tradition of objective news reporting will carry over to their business channel.
If all financial market-reporting channels went off the air forever, all traders would make a lot more money over the course of time
If they are going to differentiate, they need actionable news. They need a resident technician, a good fundie guy. They have to come up with stuff worth your time. The audience is small to begin with, so trying to appeal to everybody is a waste of time. I don't think they can do it. I keep the TV off unless a good sports event is on. Can't say I've missed anything. do you remember how they were all so smug, CNBC guys, in the day? Now, Haines has about as much exposure as Mother Theresa on a winter's day, Ted David is gone, etc. Dont' need personalities. you need money making action ideas. And big jugs. Don't forget jugs. BTW. Fox has a bombshell on yesterday with a Klayman turtle neck w/ all the trimmin's. She actually said, "Charles Joo Gaulle" national airport. Oh well.
