Fox Business in "witness protection," but close to getting out

Steve Krakauer of TV Newser interviewed Fox Business Network head Neil Cavuto about him running a show from the Democratic National Convention and also talked to him about how the 10-month-old network is doing.

Krakauer writes, “‘We think the biggest issue is the economy,’ Cavuto told TVNewser this afternoon after his FBN show ended. ‘It’s a dominant issue.’

“And how about Cavuto’s hopes for FBN as a whole?

“‘We just have to keep moving,’ he tells TVNewser. ‘What I find encouraging is that when people get Fox Business, they like it. And when we’re put up against the competition, they say, ‘I really like it.”

“And being around for the inception of Fox News Channel, Cavuto says he’s dealt with this before. ‘I know what it’s in witness protection, but I also know what it’s like to get out of witness protection. And I already see the signs,’ he said.”
