Brad Smith has been hired by CNN as an anchor for CNN Headlines, the network’s domestic Fast channel.
He will start his new job later this summer.
Smith was previously an anchor at Yahoo Finance where he covered equity markets and interviewed chief executives of household-known businesses, cabinet officials, members of congress and economic policymakers as the host of “Morning Brief.”
Prior to Yahoo Finance, Smith was an anchor for the streaming platform Cheddar where his responsibilities spanned across Cheddar Business and Cheddar News.
During his tenure, he hosted the daily live “Opening Bell” show from the New York Stock Exchange, and regularly steered heatmap and battleground states coverage during the 2020 election.
Before transitioning into news, Smith began his career at the Nasdaq Stock Market as a Global Listings Services Marketing Specialist as companies turned public and eventually expanded interests into video content strategy from the MarketSite Studio in Times Square.
