For a fee, really? Do they all pay to be interviewed?

<<It is my understanding that a company can get on CNBC for a fee. NETP should be promoting itself. Perhaps it doesn't want to be on yet!>> victor: How did you come to this understanding? I would be shocked if firms pay to be on CNBC. The advertisers pay dearly though...!! I have regularly heard Bill Griffeth (the Power Lunch host) say that a CEO was invited for an interview due to overwhelming interest from the viewers / emailers. Best Regards, Scott

Ted David from CNBC responds to my Inquiry....FYI... <<To: stockman_scott (who wrote...) From: Ted David Monday, May 24 1999 10:53PM ET We do not accept payment from any company for any interviews or profiles. td>> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- victor: I have sent Ted David a couple of messages since I have been on SI and he always promptly responds. IMO, he is a straight shooter. He has verified that CNBC will not let firms buy their way onto programs. There are only a couple of ways for a company like NETP to get on to CNBC: 1) be selected to have an executive be interviewed 2) announce a MAJOR alliance or contract 3) have a BIG price movement that peaks the interest of Kernan or Faber 4) be so successful that they choose to buy advertising on CNBC 5) NETP is bought out by a well known tech firm. Lets hope our emails to the various CNBC program groups generate a serious interest in covering Net Perceptions -- we may be able to motivate CNBC to interview NETP's CEO (Steven Snyder) and follow the company regularly..!!
