CNBC has hundreds of hours of pre-taped programming to choose from while FBN does not. Say in 20 years if this happens again will FBN still be live...or will they have already chosen to air tape?

You BIG baby lol. ^

Now the question is, how much is CNBC America going to sensationalize this whole thing and how much are the other networks going to but in to try to get some ratings from this whole event.

Are you kidding me? They have no coverage on anything legitimate. This is a one time event that they just happened to stumble upon. They are ridiculous when it comes to real business news coverage. “And this is one of the exact reasons why after FBN gets some further carriage, it’s only a matter of time before it overtakes CNBC as the financial network of record.”

Wonder why they stopped. You know, the weird thing is that CNBC used to go live (on holidays) back when it was in Fort Lee — they used to do call-in shows mixed in with business/regular news updates.

It's a sad day when I have to rely on Cavuto on FNC for business news and see his program start with "business stories" like a housing building on fire in New Jersey (who cares) and a cold snap (we all know about this) before a blip about the international markets and then a turn to political stories before they even mention it again like half an hour later. Business news show, my ass, I really wish CNBC would have had a little live coverage today.

I agree that from an audience standpoint it looked bad that they weren't live during one of the biggest market meltdowns in recent history. Ideally I would have liked to see Squawk and The Call aired live with market updates from their vast global resources -- I never understood why they don't take more advantage of their numerous international affiliates and networks.

And I challenge anyone to prove me wrong. I’ll bet CNBCW has more subs in the US than FBN at this precise moment in time. And I challenge anyone to prove me wrong.
