Juston Jones of the New York Times writes Sunday about the new personal finance show launching on CNBC.
Jones writes, “Carmen Wong Ulrich, the host of a new personal finance program called ‘On the Money’ on CNBC, won’t mind if you watch her show while surfing the Internet on a laptop with one hand and sending text messages on a cellphone with the other.
“‘I’m very much a Web person,’ said Ms. Ulrich. ‘I know people will be watching my show with their computers open in front of them. For me, that’s normal because that’s how I watch TV.’
“Ms. Ulrich, 37, has been maintaining a blog called ‘On the Money’ on cnbc.com for the last month. The TV show with the same name will run Monday through Friday at 8 p.m. Eastern time, beginning Aug. 4. Ms. Ulrich said she planned to provide practical financial advice on a nightly basis. Viewers will be able to send text messages to and e-mail Ms. Ulrich to participate in the show’s conversations in real-time.”
