We’ve written before about the connection between sports and business at Fox Business Network, and this week has been no exception.

But besides interviews and segments, FOX used a golden marketing opportunity in the minutes before the MLB All-Star game to promote its new FBN stars.

Texas Republican Rep. Louis Gohmert is scared of babies. Specifically, the unborn children of supposed terrorists. Twice in the past week, Gohmert has made the case that our national security is at risk from a nefarious terrorist plot involving pregnant women flying to the U.S. on tourist visas to have their babies, thus granting the newborns U.S. citizenship, and then returning home to raise their little U.S. citizens to someday come back and “blow us all up.”

Eric Bolling‘s new 8pmET show, Money Rocks, launched last night on Fox Business Network, and he stopped by Bill O’Reilly‘s studio to get some advice (and suck up) in a pre-taped segment.

What did we learn? “Women love the neckwear,” “you don’t have to be mean” and more.

The new FBN promo for Eric Bolling‘s show Money Rocks features Daughtry, Kobe Bryant and Colin Farrell – and a logo that looks more like Rock Of Love than a cable news program.

Bolling tells Mediaite today about what to expect from the show that debuts tonight at 8pmET.

There are the cable news shows that lean left (Countdown with Keith Olbermann) and shows that lean right (Sean Hannity‘s).

Now there’s a show that leans hard, but neither direction – Judge Andrew Napolitano‘s Freedom Watch on FBN, which is profiled today by the New York Times. But what is the relationship to the tea parties?

FOX News Sunday host Chris Wallace weighed in on the possibility of Fox News getting Helen Thomas‘ seat in the White House briefing room this morning with Don Imus on FBN, and with one little comment, started the entire ‘Fox News is a right-wing news outlet’ meme.

Imus caught it – and Wallace started back-pedaling.

In addition to the various on-air changes Fox Business Network announced yesterday, the network has a new advertising strategy that hits on a couple key points.

First, it uses the star power of Fox News, a departure from previous ads focusing on the FBN personalities.

Fox Business Network is undergoing some major changes as the network enters its third summer.

Eric Bolling will host a new 8pmET show, Money Rocks, Andrew Napolitano will host a weekend show, and Cody Willard and Dave Ramsey are out.

Neil Cavuto anchors the latest Fox News program to hit a major milestone – 100 months as the top program in its hour (4pmET).

As Your World holds the lead for 8+ years and counting, Mediaite talked to Cavuto yesterday about Fox News stability, the Obama administration’s policies and more.

Beginning this morning, Fox & Friends anchor Brian Kilmeade will host a new syndicated radio show, Kilmeade and Friends, on FOX News radio.

This replaces Kilmeade’s former radio show, Brian and the Judge, that he co-hosted with Andrew Napolitano. But the Judge has a new gig too.

With the news that Fox Business Network had canceled its show-in-a-bar Happy Hour, the network needed a 5pmET replacement.

It has found it in new hire Gerri Willis, whose The Willis Report debuts June 7.

Mediaite has learned that Fox Business has canceled Fox Business Happy Hour, the 5:00 pm show on the relatively nascent financial news channel. We hear that the show’s talent and staff was told the news today, and there is no word yet on how this may affect the show’s on-air hosts, Cody Willard, Rebecca Diamond, and Eric Bolling.

The fate of Joe Scarborough‘s radio show has been a topic of conversation this week, beginning with the New York Times‘ report it was being put on “immediate hiatus” in order to “revamp and expand” the program.

Then fellow WABCer Don Imus weighed in – and Scarborough fired back.

Fox Business Network correspondent Charlie Gasparino was on the air yesterday to discuss some recent financial findings about his former employer, NBC.

After a little initial awkwardness (“I used to work there,” he said), he got to the negative news for NBC – and positive news for NBC CEO Jeff Zucker.

Fox Business Network anchor Brian Sullivan sat down with T. Boone Pickens and Ted Turner at the Milken Global Conference in Beverly Hills today. CNBC did too – they called their interview with Pickens a “First On” but it aired after the FBN one.

In the conversation, Turner got a little animated about energy – and dropped a “bs bomb.”

Charlie Gasparino may be one of the most high profile hires in Fox Business Network history, if only because he is so keyed into the business world, and previously was keyed in for CNBC. Since he’s come over two months ago, he has broken several big stories – including two Goldman Sachs stories last week that related to both sides of the aisle.

We spoke to Gasparino yesterday afternoon about Pres. Barack Obama‘s trip to New York, his trip to FBN and “MSNBC talking points.”

The U.S. government has charged Goldman Sachs with fraud today, and the business networks (as well as cable news in general) have spent significant time covering the breaking news.

On Fox Business Network, Charlie Gasparino, author of the recently published, The Sellout, had some choice words for the company – well, one very choice word.

One of the first anchors from another network to join the young Fox Business Network in 2007 was Liz Claman, who came over from CNBC. This week the Los Angeles Times profiled the star at FBN, who revealed a bit about her “tree-hugging, West Coast, free-market, liberal Jew from L.A.” background.

Former Minnesota Governor and professional wrestler Jesse Ventura has a recent history of making controversial declarations publicly (he has a show now called Conspiracy Theory).

In an interview with Fox Business Network’s Eric Bolling, that streak continued – as he threw around words like “coward”.

New York Jets owner Woody Johnson returned as a guest host on FBN’s America’s Nightly Scoreboard to talk business, football and more.

But he also discussed the death of his daughter, Casey Johnson, for the first time, who died suddenly in January at the age of 30.

It was a big day in court for CNBC’s business news competitors – both FBN and Bloomberg won Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits against the Federal Reserve.

And they did it right next to each other in the same courthouse.

Fox Business Network announced the hiring of former CNN anchor and correspondent Gerri Willis today, another business personality added to the growing stable of well-known cable news defectors to join the still-young business network.

Willis left CNN last month.

Charlie Gasparino made his official debut on FBN yesterday, appearing on several programs as well as Fox News (on Neil Cavuto‘s show).

It all began on Don Imus‘ morning show, where Gasparino revealed just how ready he was to take on his former employer, CNBC.

The last public statement made by Tiger Woods was on December 2, but now it appears he’s about to reemerge publicly.

TMZ is reporting he will return to golf next month, while Charlie Gasparino, recently of Fox Business Network, reports he will first make a public apology, likely Friday.

Former CNBC reporter and on-air editor Charlie Gasparino will make his Fox Business Network debut Monday, February 22.

As first reported by TVNewser, Gasparino joins the two-plus-year-old business network in a “multi-year” deal.
