developing Charlie Gasparino, a star reporter at CNBC, will be leaving the network and joining Fox Business Network, according to TVNewser. It's a big pick-up by the still new FBN, and as the network adds new pieces to its line-up which sometimes feel tangential to its core principles, this one is decidedly business-related. (more...)

video One of the most talked about as-yet-unpublished stories recently was a topic this morning on Imus in the Morning today, as Don Imus interviewed embattled Gov. David Paterson.

But the abrupt announcement raises questions about just what happened to end her three-year partnership with Fox. (more...)

video John Stossel's new Fox Business Network premiered last night, and despite the initial reports it would be about "Atlas Shrugged," it instead focused on climate change.

The impact may be seen on Bloomberg TV as well, which competes now with industry leader CNBC and two-year-old Fox Business Network. But while Fox Business Network is adding new, and controversial, faces to the channel, Bloomberg TV is beefing up as it prepares for Fall as well, on-air and beyond. “I think we’re moving on a number of fronts,” U.S. head of Bloomberg TV operations David Rhodes told Mediaite earlier this week. “We have a number of new people in here on and off the air. We’re building a team, and I think we’re going to continue building it.” The newest member of the larger team is BusinessWeek. “We're very excited about the possibilities from having such a great brand within Bloomberg,” he said The young exec knows about great brands – before joining Bloomberg TV late last year he was a high level executive at Fox News.

Also new is the channel's prime time, which features repeats of Charlie Rose’s show at 8pm and 10pmET. >>> NEXT: Which big interview does Bloomberg TV have tomorrow?

The seven minute interview that took place in studio during the 7amET hour of Imus' FBN show never got serious, but the jovial atmosphere did allow Imus to put Beck on the hot seat. Specifically, about whether Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh hate him. (more...)

Could radio host Don Imus be joining the Fox family?

Reports indicate he is in negotiations for his radio show to be simulcast on the Fox Business Network, possibly beginning as early as September. And Sean Hannity just aired a very glowing "behind-the-scenes" at the Imus Ranch. So how would this move benefit Imus, or FBN? (more...)
