Changes for Bartiromo and Cramer in store?

Doug Kass writes about 25 potential surprises in store for the market and business world in 2007. Two of them are related to business journalism.

Kass wrote, “24. Maria Bartiromo leaves CNBC to join Joy Behar, Rosie O’Donnell and Barbara Walters on ABC’s ‘The View.’ (At the same time, Elisabeth Hasselbeck gets booted off the show!) Another well-known CNBC anchor leaves to join a large hedge fund.

“25. Amid the early 2007 stock market euphoria, Jim ‘El Capitan’ Cramer’s ‘Mad Money’ show goes prime time on CBS. But it is canceled during the midyear market meltdown and returns to CNBC by the fall. CNBC extends the show to two hours by year-end after Cramer, The Movie reaps $38 million in its first weekend.”

  • Since Cramer is "friends" with Les Moonves of CBS, this isn't such a stretch although I doubt the show would return to CNBC if it didn't succeed. Maybe the new Fox business channel instead--Cramer is a huge fan of 24 and some of the things Fox does, and they'd likely bid nicely for the show.

    I could easily see Bartiromo joining The View in place of Rosie O'Donnell. Trump is right about her--she's got to go!
