Fox Business Network announces primetime show

Nationally syndicated radio talk-show personality and personal finance expert Dave Ramsey will host a primetime show on the upcoming Fox Business Network, according to an announcement Thursday.

In making the announcement, Fox executive vice president Kevin Magee said, “Dave Ramsey is a welcome addition to FBN’s programming. Our primetime format will offer a new opportunity for Americans to benefit from Ramsey’s practical financial advice.”

Ramsey added, “We’re honored to be part of the FOX Business Network from its launch. Television is a logical step for “The Dave Ramsey Show,” and I’m glad we have the opportunity to take that step with our friends at Fox.”

Ramsey’s radio program has been on the air for more than 15 years and can be heard on more than 325 radio stations across the country with an average of more than 3 million weekly listeners. In addition to his new responsibilities with Fox Business News, Ramsey will continue to broadcast his radio show.

Ramsey is the author of five best-selling books including “Financial Peace, More Than Enough” and “The Total Money Makeover,” among other titles.

Ramsey began his career as a personal finance teacher offering one-on-one debt counseling to individuals in 1991 and based his teachings on his own personal experience in both building and losing a multimillion dollar real estate portfolio by age 30.
