Never seen the FNN of 80's, I was working to hard back then... I watched FNN for a few years. Near the end, the speculation about FNN's future was quite riveting. It seems that GE and Westinghouse were in a bit of a competition for it. GE won, and we ended up with FNN/CNBC for a while. Somewhere along the path the FNN part was discarded. Some familiar faces from the old days came along. I thought the 'news' content improved, but the 'educational' component withered. Too bad, because investors could learn quite a bit from FNN's explanations. I taped the last FNN show. It was quite sad to see familiar faces say good-bye for the last time, and to know that these people were also losing their jobs: Jobs very well done, in my opinion. If I remember correctly, after the last good-bye, the TV went blank. Cheers, PW.
