Bartiromo talks about leaving CNBC

Fox Business Network anchor Maria Bartiromo appeared Friday on “Your World with Neil Cavuto” and discussed why she left CNBC after 20 years.

Bartiromo left CNBC in November 2013 and started with Fox Business earlier this year. Her new show, “Opening Bell with Maria Bartiromo,” debuts Monday.

“They were very surprised. People were very surprised when I left. I was in a safe place,” said Bartiromo about the reaction of her CNBC colleagues.

“But I was looking at my growth and my next 20 years, and I couldn’t see it there because viewers have changed,” she added. “Today people want different things. They want a broader conversation.”
