CNN announced Thursday that it is launching a new daily business show, hosted by Richard Quest, live from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.
“Quest Express” will air weekdays at noon starting Jan. 30, replacing “International Desk.” The 30-minute show will offer a briefing on the latest market movements and business stories, focusing on the close of the European trading day, the opening of the markets in New York, and the start of the business day in Silicon Valley.
“The show will be like a shot of coffee: getting you quickly into the essential business stories at a crucial point in the day,” said Quest in a statement. “We’ll show the way the markets are linking together as trading unfolds and how wealth fuels global decision making.”
Quest also hosts “Quest Means Business,” which airs at 4 p.m.
The new set at the NYSE will also play host to “CNNMoney with Maggie Lake,” which will continue to air weekdays at 9 a.m.
