More on Mark Haines…

News on News’ Kevin Coy reflects on the passing of Mark Haines…

When I first started watching CNBC back in the late nineties, Mark had already been on our screens for a decade. His finesse was his attraction. No-nonsense, no-arguing, he wanted to know, and by word, he found out.

Many have commented that he’ll have been giving the guards on the stairway to heaven a good grilling on his way, and then still got the answers he was after.

Never again will watching CNBC in the mornings be the same, Mark was part of the furniture at the network. His style, his memory, will live on in those that he nurtured, took under his wing, and made part of the family. Joe Kernen, David Faber, they are the living legacy of what was a great man, a great broadcaster, and for those tough times, a great friend to viewers around the world.
