Gasparino likes to compete against CNBC

Richard Huff of the New York Daily News profiled Fox Business Network‘s Charles Gasparino in Thursday’s paper, where the business journalist discusses his fondness for competing against his former employer CNBC.

Huff writes, “That’s why he’s at FBN, he says, and this week he marks his first year at the Fox-owned business news cable network.

“‘I’d rather be part of a startup,’ Gasparino says.

“At CNBC, where he worked before Fox, his goals were different, and, he says, not as appealing.

“‘The goal here is to beat the hell out of CNBC,’ he says. ‘To beat the established winner is so much more satisfying. It’s so much more exciting than it ever was at CNBC.

“‘I like to take on the big guys,’ he adds. ‘I’ve been doing it my entire career. Before it was fashionable to beat up on Wall Street, I was doing it.'”
