From Andy Serwer's Street Life column in the 7/20 issue of Fortune: >>If you're certifiable like me and watch both CNBC and CNNfn, you've probably noticed a little something funny going on. There! Right there! On CNNfn! Didn't those faces used to be on CNBC? Or am I just suffering from delusions (again)? >>Actually, it's true. Terry Keenan has returned to CNN, where she was for nine years before her 2 1/2-year stint at CNBC, to work with Lou Dobbs. Bruce Francis, who was CNBC's technology reporter (and the man who recently made Steve Jobs have [another!] temper tantrum), also jumped ship. "I had a great offer from CNN that included co-anchoring Digital Jam," he says. >>While CNBC might not lament the losses - though I hear other on-air types are unhappy with the network's new relationship with the Wall Street Journal - it's a good thing for CNNfn (owned by Time Warner, corporate parent of the publisher of this magazine), which desperately need familiar faces other than Lou Dobbs'.
