Decision time?

1440 Wall Street blogs about Jeff Zucker, recessions, and CNBC’s ratings.

A recesssion might be the least of Jeff Zucker’s problems. With Murdoch’s digital business media efforts likely to gel in the year ahead, Zucker and CNBC will soon have the wind in their face.

And if teaming up with Pinch is the best they can manage, even the fair weather bloggers and talking heads who have been in bed with CNBC might begin to jump ship.

This battle will soon begin to unfold on internet time. Is Zucker equal to the task?

  3. don, please tell me you’re not an Econ major. If so, explain to me if Fox gets the credit when the Dow is jumping up. If fox can manage the Dow, no sense in any of us working.

  5. Ira, I guess I blew my credability when I didn’t capitalize his first name - but then neither did he. (I win).
