Julia LaRoche and Henry Blodget of Business Insider write Friday about the real reasons why longtime CNBC anchor Maria Bartiromo decided to leave the business news channel for rival Fox Business Network.
LaRoche and Blodget write, “Yes, CNBC’s ratings have been low of late, but they’re still well above FOX Business Network’s ratings. CNBC still remains the No. 1 business news channel.
“According to a source familiar with Bartiromo’s thinking, her decision came down to three factors:
“FOX’s overtures were also made more attractive and persuasive by the personal involvement of FOX boss Roger Ailes. Ailes persuaded Bartiromo that he would be personally committed to helping her further develop her career, support that Bartiromo did not feel she would have at CNBC and NBC.”
