David Lieberman of USA Today takes a look for Monday’s paper at the Fox Business Network launch, and pays particular attention to what it will air in the morning with Alexis Glick as anchor.
Lieberman wrote, “FBN has its work cut out on weekdays, though, when traders often turn to CNBC and Bloomberg for market news.
“She describes it as ‘the Today show meets Squawk Box,’ a reference to the lifestyle-heavy NBC and market-driven CNBC shows where she previously worked as a correspondent.
“‘We’re going to have to break news as corporate earnings come out, as deals are announced. That’s our job. We’re a news organization,’ says Glick, who was a trader at Morgan Stanley before she made the jump to TV.
“But she hopes to lighten that potentially dense news mix with front page and human interest stories. For example, she says that she’d handle the recent sexual-harassment case against New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas by talking about the implications for team owner Cablevision and about whether sports tolerates more harassment than other industries.”
