Moneywatch.com expanding video, new programming

Daisy Whitney of Beet.tv writes on The Huffington Post about how the new Moneywatch.com site from CBS is adding to its new video programming.

Whitney writes, “CBS is currently building a set and studio for MoneyWatch at its 28th Street offices in New York and site’s Jill Schlesinger, editor-at-large, will start producing daily segments, said Stephen Howard-Sarin, VP CBS Interactive Business Network, during an interview with Beet.TV at the CBS Interactive headquarters in San Francisco on Tuesday.

“The video-centric site, which features a prominent video player on the landing page, produces at least three original videos each week and adds about four to five videos to the site each day from the network’s existing financial and business coverage from news programs like ‘The Early Show’ and ‘The CBS Evening News.’

“‘CBS was doing this for local stations. We could tap into that,’ Howard-Sarin said. ‘We are part of a giant TV network that produces video.'”

Oh, the cruel editorial knife!
I cannot deny that I actually said, "We are part of a giant TV network that produces video," but boy does that sound bone-headed when you see it in print. I hope the comment makes more sense in the fuller context of the video.
But just in case, I'd also like to clarify that our personal finance Web site covers people's finances, using HTML pages in a Web browser. Also: the sky is blue.
