Dennis Kneale is preparing to leave CNBC after a rocky three years, reports Jeff Bercovici of Daily Finance.
‘”There’s an outside shot that he could still work out a deal,’ says one knowledgeable source, but it’s exceedingly unlikely as CNBC has made it clear it’s unwilling to re-up him at anything close to his current salary, believed to be around $500,000 a year. Kneale did not respond to a message left on his cell phone, and a network spokesman declined to comment, citing a policy against discussing personnel matters.
“Although he’s a well-known figure with a considerable reputation in business journalism, Kneale has had difficulty finding a groove at CNBC. For five months, he hosted his own show in prime time, but that was canceled last September. More recently, he was the co-host of Power Lunch, but that ended in June. Since then, he has openly discussed the possibility that CNBC wouldn’t renew his deal.”
