Good Stuff folks! My analysis now. Fox will end up beating CNBC in the cities where it counts pretty quickly. Roger Ailes just knows how to do better TV than NBC. This isn't a shocking revelation is it? It’s fun coming in a room and watching mid level executives and producers from competing companies throwing elbows at each other. Good Stuff folks!

I wonder how FBN will handle their broadcast politics-wise? Will they blame the democrats for everything that goes wrong with the market? Will democrat bashing be a part of their agenda. Will they insert themselves into the 08 elections with their broadcast? Will their headlines be by having dems win in 08 the great old USA will be facing financial doom and gloom? Will the sale of label pins and yellow ribbons go down? Let the fun and games begin! American newsroom is not a newsroom It reports on fluff stories for most of its 2 hours.

In a way, they copied off of each other. As for UReport, how is that stealing. They wanted to have a viewer submission thing like CNN, ans it happens that they could have a name that was similar to CNN and be like a slogan FNC has.

All I can say is: NO INTEGRITY. Everybody there at CNBC must be sweating and getting sleepless. One more reason we should not trust those people.

On the subject at hand I strongly agree with the e-mailer comment posted on TVNewser: "CNBC used to do this in the late 90's every Friday. It was some of the most painful TV I have ever seen. Traders do not like having microphones shoved in their faces when they are pounding scotch and hiding from their wives." A bad recycled idea from both networks.

I hope they get a few big names or something evetually. Seems like you go from a Stuart Varney old man to a young person like a lot of the other people. A big gap in experiece maybe. Wont be instant success intil after a while, like when Dow Jones contract with CNBC expires. That will be the real chance for FBN to be big. I’m a little worried for FBN.

I don’t get the big deal

a) CNBC is just doing a segment on one show called “Happy Hour”…Fox is doing a whole show everyday

b) The idea doesn’t even seem interesting - not interested in watching drunk or half-drunk people talking about whatever they’ll be discussing on that show

c) Cody Willard is such a turn-off…and so is Rebecca “don’t ask me anything about business” Gomez.
