Delivering clarity to viewers

Sybil Blau of the Danbury News-Times in Connecticut profiles Fox Business Network anchor Neil Cavuto, who grew up in the area.

Blau writes, “He comes into work, meets with his teams on FNC and FBN and addresses the day’s agenda, discussing with assorted people and teams of people the topics, issues and opinions of the day.

“By airtime, at 4 p.m., he’s on his game and ready to go.

“According to Stuart Varney, host of ‘Varney & Company’ on FBN as well as a business contributor and substitute host on ‘Your World with Neil Cavuto,’ Cavuto’s game is spot on.

“‘Neil delivers clarity,’ Varney said. ‘You know exactly what he’s talking about. That’s what makes him the most successful business anchor in 20 years. And I like him. I’ve never heard a bad word about him.

“‘You find yourself liking him because he has a sense of humor. He smiles. He laughs. He has a gleam in his eye. He’s the kind of guy you’d enjoy having lunch with. Viewers are drawn to him.'”
