Fox Business announces show for Bolton

Fox Business Network announced Tuesday a new market hours program to be hosted by anchor Deirdre Bolton, whom it hired in February.

The show, called “Risk and Reward with Deirdre Bolton,” will begin airing on Monday, March 31, and will feature the news about alternative investments.

“We’re excited to add ‘Risk and Reward with Deirdre Bolton’ to our lineup,” said Fox Business Network executive vice president Kevin Magee in a statement. “Alternative investing is an immensely untapped field. and Deirdre’s expertise in this area will help broaden our market hours coverage.”

On the show, Bolton will explore movements in real estate, hedge funds and venture capital. In addition to assessing breaking market moves, the program will provide an in-depth look at non-traditional ways to make money beyond just stocks and bonds.

The new show will replace “Markets Now,” which will end its run on Friday, March 28.

Bolton had been with Bloomberg Television since 1999. Prior to Bloomberg, Bolton worked in institutional equity sales at CDC North America and Société Générale. She graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in English and French literature and holds a master’s degree from New York University.
