Trish Regan leaves CNBC

March 19, 2011

Chris Ariens of TV Newser reports that CNBC anchor Trish Regan has left the business news network after a dispute about her future role.

Ariens writes, “Regan, who co-hosted the 11am show, ‘The Call’ with Melissa Francis and Larry Kudlow, was going to be pulled off the show and asked to stay on as a reporter. Instead, she chose to leave, insiders tell us.

“‘Her desk is cleared out,’ a source says.

“‘Trish is under contract,’ spokesperson Brian Steel tells TVNewser, which means a separation agreement is the next step before Regan can move on to her next TV gig.

“In addition to anchoring, Regan reports for CNBC’s documentaries, including the ‘Marijuana, Inc.’ franchise which ranks as the highest-rated documentary on the network. Regan’s book on the subject, ‘Joint Ventures‘ comes out next month.”
