Ratigan resurfaces at NBC... Former ‘Fast Money’ Host Moves Elsewhere in NBC By BILL CARTER Published: May 6, 2009 Dylan Ratigan, the former host of CNBC’s “Fast Money,” will move to a different neighborhood within NBC’s cable properties, with a new assignment as the anchor of a two-hour discussion program on MSNBC. The news channel announced Wednesday that Mr. Ratigan will initiate a program scheduled from 9 to 11 a.m. Eastern time on the channel. The program is scheduled to start on June 29. Though it does not yet have a name, Mr. Ratigan said he was calling it “Morning Meeting” in his informal descriptions of what the show will be. “It’s a very clear concept,” he said. “We’re going to bring people in to talk about the problems the country faces. Anybody who can offer solutions can come to the meeting.” Mr. Ratigan had been one of the most prominent personalities on CNBC, and his departure in March set off speculation that he might have been hired by a competitor. ABC News was mentioned as a possible destination. But Mr. Ratigan’s contract with CNBC prevented him from negotiating with any competitor for several months. Other NBC entities were free to pursue him, however, and Phil Griffin, the president of MSNBC, said he had taken advantage of that by wooing Mr. Ratigan in a series of meetings. “We saw him as another big, smart, passionate personality for MSNBC,” Mr. Griffin said. Most television names fitting that description are featured on prime-time shows, but Mr. Griffin said he was looking for someone who could follow the network’s morning program “Morning Joe,” with Joe Scarborough. MSNBC has refashioned itself as a channel devoted to political talk with a mostly liberal point of view, under the promotional subtitle “The Place for Politics.” Mr. Ratigan said, “There’s no question we’ll go straight at politics, but we’ll do it in different ways.” He said that viewers would “be aware of my opinions” but they would not necessarily hew to a single ideology. Mr. Griffin said: “I will encourage Dylan to be himself. I don’t really know what his politics are. He brings intensity and passion. You can’t work at these jobs unless you are authentic.”
