CNBC: An Update

Saw this New York Post article about declining viewers over @ CNBC courtesy of Doug Kass over at RealMoneyPro.com {Subscription required}.  We did our own analysis of CNBC about nine months ago here.  

By the way the best business programming by far today is Bloomberg Surveillance hosted by Tom Keene but it comes on too early for most people in the midwest.  In my opinion CNBC has about two hours of programing that are worth watching.  These are what's on between 7:30-9:00 AM Chicago time and the first half hour of Fast Money which comes on here at 4:00 PM.  Cramer's first fifteen minutes of Mad Money is also sometimes worth watching.  The rest of their programming in my opinion is mostly filler.

.....And most TVs that you see during the day tuned to CNBC still have the volume turned down.

I'm out tomorrow.  Something to do with that St. Patrick's Day weekend thing.  No Irish Dancers anymore though.  My girls are too old and have started to fly the coop!
