“CNN Money” show is being canceled

“CNN Money,” which airs on Saturday mornings and is anchored by Christine Romans, is being canceled, reports Chris Ariens of TVNewser.com

Ariens reports, “As for Romans, she will continue co-anchoring ‘Early Start,’ and remains CNN’s chief business correspondent contributing business stories across CNN.”

A person close to the show confirmed the cancellation to Talking Biz News. CNN Money branded news packages and specials will continue to be a large part of CNN newsroom’s approach to covering business news. For example, Alison Kosik just did a live-shot from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

Romans is the author of two books, “How to Speak Money” (Wiley 2011) and “Smart is the New Rich” (Wiley 2010).

Romans’ coverage focuses on the latest breaking developments in the current economic crises and what they mean to Americans and their money. She is known for her “Romans’ Numeral” segment where she deconstructs complex stories and explains what they mean for the viewer.

CNN has been moving away from business and economics coverage in recent years. Its former chief business correspondent Ali Velshi became an anchor on general news shows before leaving the network in 2013.

Lou Dobbs left the network in 2010 after 30 years. His CNN business-oriented “Moneyline” show ended in 2003, altough his general ineterst show “Lou Dobbs Tonight” still discussed business issues with regularity.

The cancellation is not expected to affect the CNNMoney.com website.
