Tim Feran of the Columbus Dispatch interviewed Ohio native Roger Ailes as he gets ready to launch the Fox Business Network on Monday.
Here is an excerpt:
A. They had been in operation about six years when I came in, and they were a total failure. I turned it around in ’93 and put it on track to profitability. They still have my shows on their schedule. So it’s going to be kind of fun to compete against myself.
Q. Won’t that be difficult?
A. I don’t know. Maybe some of those shows were not my best work.
Q. Can you say how you plan to counter CNBC?
A. Well, business news is much broader than people suspect. It’s a broad subject. No amount of time would cover it all. When you say “economy,” to some that says housing, to some it says jobs, to some it says extra cash in their pockets, to some it says college for the kids. It’s pretty broad, not just hedge funds and quarterly earnings and talking to investors who want to get rich.
