FBN Changes
According to a tipster starting Monday FBN will begin airing cut-ins called the ”Fox Business Brief” at the top and bottom of the hour during market hour. Not exactly sure why FBN needs to be doing business headlines at the top and bottom of the hour, but okay…

CNBC does some kind of update thing at the end of the hour. Perhaps FBN feels it needs to start doing more serious stuff and less fluff???

I’m coming down with a cold. Girlfriend gave it to me. She came down with it a couple days ago. Kept her out of the water yesterday. Says she’ll dive today. I’m not so sure. I think I’m good to dive for at least one more day. After that, I may be forced out of the water. Nasal congestion is kryptonite for a diver…

If I remember correctly, CNBC does market updates everyday on MSNBC, during Matthews’ live airing, I believe. I don’t know if they actually do it on CNBC itself, because they are already covering the markets as it is anyway, which is why I don’t understand FBN would do updates if they are apparently already reporting on business news.

A market update on a channel running a stock ticker is a little redundant, don’t you think?

Such updates are usual, acceptable if something more charming is introduced..

^Um, what?

FBN is most likely doing this temporarily because of the Goldman Sachs coverage that is nonstop throughout the day. It’s just like the FNC Live segments that occur during primetime to update people who may just be turning on the TV to update them on what the major news stories of the day were. Good move by FBN.

does fnb always have that logo that says fox news?

I remember the last time my job was “retooled”. I came to work one morning and a new tool had it.

dvschase:
No, FBN does not have that logo. That’s the foxnews.com logo that is put on all the foxnews.com videos. I’m not sure why it is on that FBN video, since foxbusiness.com put a different logo on its videos.
