Cavuto of Fox Biz: Happy Anniversary, CNBC

Fox Business Network anchor Neil Cavuto, who was on CNBC when it began airing in April 1989, writes about the early days of the business news network.

Cavuto writes, “If only I knew then all the folks who doubted that channel would ever make it. I might never have made that leap this day a quarter-century ago.

“Back then, many thought a business network wouldn’t last.

“Yet today, no fewer than three do. CNBC, Bloomberg, and the one you might have heard me mention now and then, FBN?

“Oh, you don’t get Fox Business?

“We bust on each other, but we are all a part of each other.

“The same money mosaic. A bigger mosaic. Now, a more crowded mosaic now, even louder mosaic now, but the same mosaic now.

“The sum of so many legendary parts we cannot believe have parted like Louis Rukeyser and Ray Brady and Mark Haines all gone. But I like to think all still very much in our DNA.”
