    The way they all belly ache about GE's stock I feel certain they have it in some form, probably profit sharing. I believe they are restricted to index funds, as individual stocks are prohibited because of potential insider trading from info they could get in doing their job.

    There's a lot of longevity there too. The numbers I said were more for the senior anchors/reporters.

    Just think: In NYC market, name reporters on local newscasts barely make 125-150. Most are in the high 5 figures.

  3. Are you kidding? Local anchors in the majors pull down millions. MILLIONS> I can't believe it either............

  4. Who can stomach local news?

    Has to be the most inane , insipid pack of house organs on the planet.

    They don't make a penny off me.

    I'm going to miss Dylan, especially his long winded questions.

    Any guess who they will replace him?

    I will not miss Ratigan, but he is just as good as all the other personalities cnbc has to offer which isn't saying a whole lot. Its just when he starts stuttering, I wanna poke my fricking eyes out.

  9. I agree.... I especially admired the fact that Ratigan kept repeating, VERY loudly and on every show, that a lot of the Wall Street Banksters had committed fraud and should be tried for it... he was the only one to do this flat out on CNBC... and he was very persistent about it...

    His constant interruptions of his team and guests was very annoying.

    But if ANYBODY is to be shown the door first it should be KUDLOW... what an embarrassment to the concept of integrity...

  10. “Ratigan is telling friends he chose to leave CNBC not so much to be the next David Letterman, but because he wants to continue pursuing a storyline which began on his CNBC broadcasts —

    "The Robbing of America.”
