FTVlive reports that CNBC staff members were angry while watching former CNBC anchor Liz Claman interview Warren Buffett on Fox Business Network, which she joined Thursday.

Liz ClamanFTVLive reported, “CNBC insiders tell FTVLive that the gang at CNBC was pisssed watching Claman interview one of the world’s most richest men.

“Buffett kept breaking news and CNBC had to keep posting lower third banners crediting FBN for the news.Â
