Scaramucci joins Fox Business Network

Hedge-fund impresario Anthony Scaramucci is jumping to the Fox Business Network from CNBC, reports Michelle Celarier of the New York Post.

Celarier writes, “Scaramucci’s FBN debut will be on Maria Bartiromo’s ‘Opening Bell’ show on Wednesday.

“The founder of SkyBridge Capital was a frequent guest on CNBC for the past four years. The 50-year-old investor recently signed an exclusive deal to appear on both FBN and the Fox News Channel, sources close to the situation said.

“Scaramucci, who organizes a popular annual hedge-fund confab in Las Vegas, is also working on reviving the iconic ‘Wall Street Week’ show after buying the rights to the program from Maryland Public Television.

“The hedge-fund mogul’s contract with FBN doesn’t specifically include Wall Street Week, but does give Scaramucci ‘great flexibility for programming,’ the source said.”
