Insana returns to CNBC

Ron Insana, a former CNBC anchor who left the business news network to try his hand at money management, has returned as a senior analyst, reports Chris Ariens of TVNewser.

His first appearance was during Power Lunch on Monday. Ariens writes, “‘Seems like an interesting time to get back into the market,’ said Insana, adding, “Most of my timing over the last three years has not entirely been in my control.’

“Insana left a primary anchor slot on the network in 2006, for a senior analyst role while also forming Insana Capital Partners. Insana Partners ceased operations in August 2008 when Insana joined a Connecticut-based hedge fund. That move precluded him from appearing on CNBC.

“And it appears CNBCers are happy to have him back. During a tease of his segment, Insana got a ‘Whoo-hoo! Yay’ from Power Lunch co-co-co-anchor Michelle Caruso-Cabrera.”
