Liz Claman, who anchors the CNBC show “Morning Call” five days a week from 10 a.m. until noon, is leaving the network, according to the TVNewser web site.
One hour of the show’s time will be taken by an expanded version of “Squawk on the Street” with Mark Haines and Erin Burnett, which previously has been airing only for an hour, according to this CNBC release.Â
Claman, an award-winning journalist, joined CNBC in April 1998, after spending three years as an anchor/reporter for NBC affiliate WHDH-TV, Boston. During that time, she also served as contributing correspondent for the NBC-syndicated daytime show, “RealLife.”
Prior to that, Claman was an anchor at WEWS-TV (ABC) in Cleveland, where she won an Emmy Award for Best Morning Anchor for her work on the two-hour morning show, “Morning Exchange.” She also gained recognition for her live coverage of Hurricane Andrew and the historic floods in Des Moines, Iowa.
Claman began her on-camera career at the ABC affiliate WSYX-TV in Columbus, Ohio –- first as a reporter and then, a weekend anchor. Her first foray into television news was as a news intern, and then a news associate at KCBS-TV, Los Angeles. There, at age 23, she became the youngest person in the history of the station to win a local Emmy for Best Spot News Producer. Claman also won a Los Angeles Golden Mike Award for contributing to the station’s coverage of the 1987 Los Angeles Earthquake.Â
Since joining CNBC, she has anchored shows ranging from “Today’s Business,” “Wake Up Call,” “Morning Call,” and “MarketWrap.”

I think it's high time we let Liz know how we viewers feel about her suddent departure. Read my open letter to her at:

Liz Claman is a perfect example of how in the world of live television, a pretty face can overcome the lack of grey matter between the ears.
Liz Claman -- my favorite, too, over the years. Highest quality, bright, believeable and beautiful ! Fox Business Network's GAIN!
I'll be following her. Best of wishes.
We loved Liz Claman when she was in L.A. and are equally proud of the impressive mark she has made on national television and cable TV. What style! What class! What a woman! First Morning Call lets gorgeous and budding superstar Bianna Golodryga slip away to Good Morning America and now Liz Claman to the Fox Business Network? Who's the knucklhead in charge? JEEZ.
:mrgreen: Good for you Liz...Show me the money...Not only beautiful but smart to
omg, This woman has it ALL, brains and beauty AND personality. Funny and original, unlike a lot of others out there. We wait and hold our breath for her return to the airwaves. The BEST CNBC HAD TO OFFER.. THEY LET HER SLIP AWAY!!!
I was on the road and not watching TV when Liz quit. I figured she was on vacation when I returned. It's only recently that I realized she is gone forever, at least from CNBC which is just about the only TV I watch. I'm aware and appreciative of her womanly attributes, but she dressed conservatively most of the time. And I don't hold it against Erin Burnett, who fills some of Liz's time, that she can't fill Liz's sweater.
I only get to see the morning CNBC shows when I'm traveling and this week I finally realized that Liz is gone. I miss her reporting, her knowledge, her special pieces, just miss Liz. Good luck to her in her next venture.
Will definitely miss Liz from CNBC. She has such a beautiful smile and is so smart. I will indeed watch her show if she joins FOX.
competition in front of the TV certainly has caused good anchors to leave. magm't wants cute, beauty, brains and controllability. She wasn't controllable and good for her, let's hope she gets picked up at Fox, or Bloombergs, she's got a lot to give. smooth sailing Liz.
