What Riggs plans to do on “The Big Money Show”

Taylor Riggs

A.J. Katz of TVNewser interviewed Fox Business anchor Taylor Riggs about her new show “The Big Money Show” and her recent switch from Bloomberg News.

Here is an excerpt:

What are your biggest takeaways your time at Bloomberg that will help you at FBN?

I felt like so often the markets or finance or economics weren’t accessible to everyone. And so how do we [solve] that? I spent those nine years honing those skills, and I’m excited to be able to help share that with our audience.
