Popular CNBC contributor appearing on Fox Business

Linette Lopez and Julia LaRoche of Business Insider write about the potential ramifications of Anthony Scaramucci, SkyBridge Capital founder and host of the massive hedge fund conference, SALT, appearing on Fox Business Network this afternoon after being a regular CNBC contributor.

Lopez and LaRoche write, “He’ll be joined by another CNBC alum, Charlie Gasparino.

“Wonder what they’ll talk about…

“Last month, Business Insider reported that CNBC executives were furious at Scaramucci for relaunching iconic business program ‘Wall Street Week.’ At SALT Las Vegas in May, he announced on CNBC that his firm would be restarting the show with the help of former CNBC executive Susan Krakower. Krakower developed shows like ‘Fast Money’ and ‘Mad Money With Jim Cramer.’

“Unfortunately, shortly after that Scaramucci’s contributor contract with CNBC was up for negotiation. Executives dangled it over his head, hoping that he would back down from launching ‘Wall Street Week.’

“He wouldn’t. But he was also confident that he and CNBC would be able to work things out.”
