NBR Cancelled

[alpha]

 

Anyone else sad to see the Nightly Business Report (a business show on public access tv produced by CNBC) was cancelled at the end of the year? It was created in 1979 and I think it was the last intelligent business show out there. I watched or listened to the podcast daily during the work week.  :(

 

Hopefully some philanthropist will take notice and offer to cover the production costs.

My favourite business news show right now is Bloomberg Surveillance with Tom Keene. I record it on my PVR and fast forward lots. He sometimes has some very good guests on.

I've missed Paul Kangas for a while now & noticed that since CNBC took over production, NBR has not been on point.

 

I also miss Louis Rukeyser.

Wow.  I didn't know that.  Sad to hear it.

... I also miss Louis Rukeyser.

 

Agreed. I loved watching the show when Louis was around. Great introduction to investing.

next to Bill Buckley, Louis Rukeyser was the best interviewer around.

Thanks, I'll check that one out.

 

I had Sling for a month last year & it came with Bloomberg & CNBC.

 

I found CNBC to be mostly a bunch of chest beating nonsense.

 

Bloomberg was full of informative stories & interviews.

 

I can see how CNBC would be more popular in todays world.
