Susan Krakower, CNBC’s senior vice president of strategic programming and development, is leaving the network, reports Stephanie Smith of the New York Post.
Smith writes, “We’re told CNBC has opted not to renew her contract and that CNBC president Mark Hoffman explained, ‘You’re great. You’re creative. But you’re just too hard on the furniture [meaning tough on the talent].’
“Krakower, who joined CNBC in 2002 and created shows including ‘Mad Money With Jim Cramer,’ famously got into a war with former CNBC host Dylan Ratigan after he ranted about her during a commercial break, ‘If you want to pull me off the show, please do. [You are] rude and disrespectful.’
“Ratigan quit shortly afterward. We’re told Krakower is now in talks to join Morgan Stanley.
“Despite this, a CNBC rep insisted to us on Thursday, ‘Susan is under contract at CNBC.'”
