“Fast Money,” the show on business news channel CNBC that features Dylan Ratigan and four Wall Street traders, will now air five days a week instead of its current once-a-week schedule.
The show will be based at NASDAQ’s MarketSite studio in Times Square. Ratigan and the traders rang the bell to begin trading at the NASDAQ Wednesday morning.
Instead of taking traditional phone calls or even e-mails, “Fast Money” will have callers seen on their home or office web cams when asking questions. Viewers can also text message during the broadcast to create a continuous dialogue with the traders of “Fast Money.”
“Just as athletes are interviewed right after a game and discuss what they did and why, these Wall Street professionals come to the set of ‘Fast Money’ after spending their day trading and share their insights and strategy,” said CNBC president Mark Hoffman.
“Fast Money” began on CNBC on June 21, 2006 as an occasional series and was co-created, with Ratigan, by Susan Krakower, CNBC’s VP of strategic planning and development, who also co-created CNBC’s hit “Mad Money with Jim Cramer.”
Since its launch last June, “Fast Money” has averaged 113,000 viewers. On Sept. 21, 2006, it averaged 95,000 viewers in the 25-54 demo and was the highest rated program on CNBC.

I am so dissapointed that Tim Strazzini is no longer on Fast Money. He will be sorely missed!
Why did Strazzini leave? They still list him as a member of the panel on the website today, but that may be because they haven't updated the site yet.
I like Jeff Macke! He's great on the show.
Strazzini is on right now--I'm guessing he isn't leaving but took a night off last night.
Strazzini just took the night off, I am sure the other guys will do the same from time to time. Jon N. was a great choice to fill in though.
:mad: Apparently Strazzini had had enough of Bolling - as another on the panel is now feeling. Enough was enough. As narrow-minded and backward as Bolling is, I now wonder how long it will be before he will be replaced?
man I cant believe this... not only is Tim Strazzini gone so is my boy eric bolling...man I feel like cyin...I never misses this show one day..since it began last year!! I dont like the new chick, the amasserdor was cool..listen gary lee how did you know ERIC was leavin he kept fight with the LONEwolf..but he was right on AAPL vs warren buffets company...I'll miss him...fast money will never be the same...eric we love U dude keep your head UP... anyone who wants to email me Im mahdi mf_kicks@yahoo.com and short yahoo...loool ciao everybody
Both Tim and Eric is gone? They were the only reason I watched. Are you guys sure? I haven't seen them but I just thought they were on vacation like so many traders do this time of year.
Strazzini and Bolling are gone--neither could put up with the Dylan ratigan look-at-me show. This is a show with all kinds of promise if Ratigan will only recede a bit, and let the experts talk. But I'm not surehe's capable of serving as moderator, and not Star.
