Dave Walker, the television columnist for the New Orleans Times-Picayune, visited the set of Fox Business Network‘s “Happy Hour” show as it broadcast from the Crescent City earlier this week.
“‘We’re not Wall Street,’ added cohost Cody Willard, an entrepreneur-turned-TV-guy who breaks the button-down mold of business reportage by sporting long hair, jeans and, while at Pat O’Brien’s at least, a colorful jester’s hat and oversized Mardi Gras beads on the air. ‘So much of the Wall Street-Washington angle ends up talking down to people.’
“Launched in October, FBN reaches 35 million cable subscribers (none yet in New Orleans, though the network is carried by satellite) – hence its presence in New Orleans during the cable show.

Morial Convention Center.”
