Vince Veneziani and Joe Pompeo of The Business Insider report Tuesday afternoon that CNBC has pulled Dennis Kneale from its “Power Lunch” show, though he remains with the network.
They write, “A CNBC spokesperson confirmed that Kneale is officially off the show and sent us the following statement:
“As our media and technology editor, Dennis is providing news, analysis and commentary on that important sector and he can be seen across CNBC. Today he had a great piece on Venture Capital Opportunities & Threats and yesterday he had a piece on the Video Chat Wars
“‘Power Lunch’ was just reduced by an hour due to David Faber’s new show and an extended ‘Fast Money Half Time Report’ cutting into the 12-2 p.m. time slot it had held since 1998.
“The spokesperson said the other ‘Power Lunch’ anchors, Sue Herrera, Michelle Caruso Cabrera and Tyler Mathisen, are keeping their spots on the show. Each of them has been with the network considerably longer than Kneale, who joined in 2007.”
