Brian Stelter of the New York Times reports that CNBC anchor Erin Burnett is getting ready to leave the business news network for a job at CNN.
“Ms. Burnett, who was considered a rising star within CNBC and its parent, NBCUniversal Media, held talks with two broadcast networks, ABC and CBS, before deciding to join CNN, according to two of the people. They insisted on anonymity because the deal had not been made public.
“A spokeswoman for CNN, a unit of Time Warner, declined comment on Wednesday night.
“Ms. Burnett has been an anchor at CNBC since 2005. Before then, she worked at Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Bloomberg Television. Currently she is a co-anchor of ‘Squawk on the Street’ on weekdays from 9 to 11 a.m. Eastern Time and the sole anchor of ‘Street Signs’ from 2 to 4 p.m.”
