Ring-a-ling…
The New York Post’s Michael Starr notes that Dylan Ratigan and the Fast Money gang are ringing the opening bell on the Nasdaq today in conjunction with the program’s one year anniversary. Donny Deutsch did that just a couple of weeks ago in the run-up to CES. Is this some sort of clever PR thing to get CNBC talent and programming plugged on FBN’s air as they carry the opening bell live? Or is this just a happy coincidence that two CNBC programs ring in the Nasdaq so close together due to the proximities of CES and the Fast Money anniversary?
Update: Added screen grab…
Update 2: This isn’t the first time something like this has happened. When FBN launched it rang in the Nasdaq and was covered by CNBC…
“Is this some sort of clever PR thing to get CNBC talent and programming plugged on FBN’s air as they carry the opening bell live?”
Actually if you substituted “Bloomberg” for “FBN” that might be somewhat believable.. seeing that Bloomberg clocks in somewhere around 49M homes.
