Dave Ramsey joins FBN…
Fox Business Network announced that Dave Ramsey has joined the network as a host of an as yet un-named primtime program….
Nationally syndicated radio talk-show personality and personal finance expert Dave Ramsey has joined Fox Business Network (FBN) as the host of a primetime program, announced Kevin Magee, Executive Vice President, FOX News. The show’s title and time slot will be announced at a later date.
In making the announcement, Magee said, “Dave Ramsey is a welcome addition to FBN’s programming. Our primetime format will offer a new opportunity for Americans to benefit from Ramsey’s practical financial advice.”
Ramsey added, “We’re honored to be part of the FOX Business Network from its launch. Television is a logical step for The Dave Ramsey Show and I’m glad we have the opportunity to take that step with our friends at FOX.”
Ramsey’s radio program The Dave Ramsey Show has been on the air for more than fifteen years and can be heard on over 325 radio stations across the country with an average of more than 3 million weekly listeners. In addition to his new responsibilities with FBN, Ramsey will continue to broadcast his radio show.Ramsey is also the creator of a 13-week program called Financial Peace University (FPU), which educates participants about how to reduce debt, gain control of their finances, and learn new behaviors around money. He is the author of five best-selling books including Financial Peace, More Than Enough and The Total Money Makeover, among other titles.
Ramsey began his career as a personal finance teacher offering one-on-one debt counseling to individuals in 1991, and based his teachings on his own personal experience in both building and losing a multimillion dollar real estate portfolio by age 30. Today, Ramsey’s radio show, books, speeches and numerous appearances counsel others on his lessons learned about how to build wealth, be financially responsible and give back to the community.
As mentioned when Spud broke the story (and TVN tried to steal it), Ramsey is a great addition to FBN. His radio program is excellent for anyone who needs financial advice.

Ramsey does have a great radio show and should be strong on TV as well.

Bigred, are you getting Dave Ramsay and Tom Sullivan mixed up? Because TVN hasn’t even reported on Ramsay yet.

Oh, ok, I’m wrong again! The timestamp is 10:29pm. I just looked at the first page of TVN.

Ramsey was on Your World with Neil Cavuto, he thanked Neil for the show. Ramsey mentioned that Cavuto would have a prime time show also. Which I haven’t heard of any where else. Any news on Cavuto’s prime time show?
