Rob Blake of the HedgeWorld blog at Reuters talked to Charles Gasparino about his new job at Fox Business Network.
Here is an excerpt:
HedgeWorld: I’ve seen a few different reports as to why you left CNBC— so why did you leave, exactly?
HW: Why?
Gasparino: Because I liked the idea of being part of an entrepreneurial startup, and bear in mind, FBN is very much a start-up. And in that kind of situation, there’s a lot of upside if the start-up succeeds. If it doesn’t succeed then, sure, this move in hindsight looks like the wrong one but I like to take chances. I don’t take chances with my reporting, but this is a career gamble and I think it’s going to pay off.
HW: So there’s no truth to the rumor that CNBC was giving you less air time or that some of your colleagues there wanted you out?
Gasparino: No, not all, this was very amicable. Like I said, I’ve wanted to make this move for a few years now, but I was in the middle of writing a book, and couldn’t start a new job until that was done.
