Dobbs returns to the air

David Bauder of the Associated Press writes about the return of Lou Dobbs to the air with the premiere of his new show on Fox Business Network beginning Monday.

Bauder writes, “His new show is likely to feel familiar to his fans, as Dobbs intends to dive into the complex public policy and economic issues that drive society. Owing to his new home, he said the focus will likely be heavier on business than it had been in his final days at CNN.

“‘We’ll focus on the American people, their standard of living … the American nation,’ he says. ‘Those are always my starting points.’

“FBN is using the tag ‘back to business’ for Dobbs’ new show, said Kevin Magee, the network’s executive vice president. Viewers will get an understanding of what the markets did each day and what is expected to happen in the coming days, he said.

“‘Lou is a brand-name business guy,’ Magee said. ‘I think he’s going to help the team. … He’s one of the four or five people you can name who does business news and he’s got a great track record.'”
