Why Casone likes to be the first show on Fox Business in the morning

Cheryl Casone

Jaime Backer of Metropolitan magazine profiled Fox Business Network anchor Cheryl Casone, whose show is the first in the morning.

Backer writes, “‘I’ve been hosting this show at FOX Business Network for a year now. I really love hosting the first show of the day because it’s the first shot at the news. I love being first!  (laugh). So much news is happening right now you just never know what is happening over night so I really like the fact that I’ve got that show and it’s just going really well! We’ve really seen our numbers grow and our ratings have moved up a lot, quite substantially in just the past year so I’m really proud of that.’

“A former flight attendant, right out of college, Casone parlayed that personal work experience to become one of Fox’s most knowledgeable reporters on the Airlines Industry as a whole.

“‘I appreciate that my colleagues and shows and anchors whether it is Tucker Carlson or even Stuart Varney they lean on me for those stories and I appreciate that because  it’s another part of my life in my past that I can bring here so that’s one thing I really like to cover and then I’ve worked for the airline industry and I don’t love checked bag fees any more than anybody else and the delays and there are all kinds of bad things about travel but I do still have a fondness for the airline industry.'”
