CBS 2 Chicago announced Thursday that it will launch “Monsters and Money in the Morning,” a local weekday 5- 7 a.m. show about sports and business, beginning Feb. 1, 2010.
“It’s time for something new and smart that will differentiate CBS 2 from its competitors,” said CBS 2 president and general manager Bruno Cohen in a statement. “We are targeting an underserved television audience — Chicagoans who are passionate about sports and want to stay on top of local business news and personal finance — while at the same time continuing to provide the news headlines, weather and traffic information that people want before leaving home in the morning.”
Interestingly, Cohen was the former executive vice president of business news at CNBC before leaving in 2002 amid low ratings.
