Cheddar anchor King departing at end of the week

Hope King

Cheddar anchor Hope King is leaving the business news channel at the end of the week.

She joined in October 2016 from CNN, where she was a tech reporter, to help launch its closing bell show.

“Thank you to all my friends, mentors, colleagues, and followers for your generosity, time, and positive energy over the years… and especially during these last few weeks,” she wrote on Twitter. “I wouldn’t be here without you and I know there is still so much more to come.”

She also worked at Business Insider. Before journalism, King worked at Merrill Lynch, where she was vice president of business development and product management.
