I imagine FOX or someone is taking notice also....where's the beef? JMO, I think the formula is getting old? Yes, the formula has gotten VERY old. The ratings are way down. That's why you no longer see many of the old faces, and you see some new ones (ICK!). And that's why you see them talking about sports scores in the early morning and why you see more MSNBC news on. And the horrendous Cramer/Kudlow abortion of a show. CNBC is desperately trying to stop the ratings death spiral. The problem is, the new direction that they have taken and the choices they have made have only made it worse. I used to have CNBC on from 6am til after dinner. Now I flip around alot more to other channels or mute the annoying lack-of-personalities. And with each introduction of some new annoying feature (and all of the recent ones have been in the 'annoying' category), my viewing time only decreases. They are becoming irrelevent. They just don't get it. 99
