CNBC anchors on NBC, Fox anchors everywhere else

Steve Krakaauer of TV Newser writes Monday about how the Fox Business Network anchors showed up on all the major networks to discuss today’s turmoil, while the CNBC anchors were limited to appearances on parent CNBC.

Krakauer writes, “This morning, Liz Claman guested on CBS’ The Early Show for an interview with Harry Smith, and Alexis Glick was on ABC with the ladies of The View. On a day Claman described as ‘horrifying,’ on CBS, the FBN anchors’ expertise came into play.

“‘We’ve been covering all this very closely ever since Bear Stearns,’ Claman tells TVNewser. ‘We didn’t want to spread panic, but our job is to look closely at all these names.’

“And Claman found a fan in Smith. ‘Harry Smith said, ‘I watch you all the time. I’m so glad you’re here,” reports the FBN anchor.

“The appearance was just the beginning for Claman. She’ll speak to FOX affiliates around the country, she’s anchoring the 2, 3, 4, and 5:00pmET hours on FBN and she appears tonight on The O’Reilly Factor. She was on America’s Newsroom on FNC earlier this morning and did a segment for Inside Edition as well.”
