CNBC to add “Millennial Money” show on weekends

CNBC has begun a new weekend show called “Millennial Money” that originated from its personal finance Make It operation.

The show is hosted by CNBC Make It reporter Ashton Jackson.

“‘Millennial Money’ is a show profiling millennials in different cities at different income levels,” wrote Jackson on LinkedIn. “Chances are, you’re probably curious about how much money people make in a certain field, or how much other people are dedicating to their savings — you just don’t know how to ask. Well, we’ve done it for you, giving you an inside look at how people earn, spend and save their money.”

“Millennial Money” had been a digital video series on Make It.
