Now will anyone tune in? Outlook not good. Until Macke and his back up dancers, The Car People, join the fray, that is.
Fox Business Network announced Thursday it will simulcast radio host Don Imus’ morning show starting Oct. 5 as the cable channel seeks to jump-start viewership.
The two-year-old network – which like this newswire is owned by News Corp. (NWSA) – has faced tough competition from the more widely available CNBC, owned NBC Universal.
Fox Business will air the program from 6-9 a.m. EDT and Imus’ program will incorporate additional business news. A trio of Fox anchors will continue to host a show starting at 5 a.m. ET before appearing on Imus’ program to report on financial news.
Alexis Glick, host of “Money for Breakfast” from 7-9 a.m., will continue to host “Opening Bell” at 9 a.m.

By “Bump”, do you mean bumpin’ uglies?
@1 yes
Nappy!!…Uhnh…heh…urgle…cowboy hat…uh…
re the tag, 3 days tops
@4 more like 3 hours
not enough neck fat
“Money for nothing and Chicks for free … “
Disturbing photo
Man, all the dried up, bitter Bush/McCain/Palin type conservatives will flock to that show like flies to shit.
That should mean about a .005 audience share for the country, 65% for the financial industry.
Who are you people? What are you doing here?
Does this mean I can get my Bo Dietl fix again?
Snark all you want but you cannot say FBN doesn’t know its demographic. And he knows that Robert Johnson was a famous minstrel banjo player.
@12 then how come they’ve had a total of 3 viewers since hitting the airwaves?
Watch out Morning Joe!
This country sucks, I lost my job, I lost my house, Penelope hated me and it was all because of this terrible, awful Negro …
You think David Duke might be taking lessons in “on air” voice and mannerisms?
re the tag i’m putting the under over at 3 minutes and taking the under.
They were nappy headed. Can’t imagine they were too successful as prosties though.
love the tag…only bess can get away with that $hit!
I don’t get the appeal of this guy. First, his speaking voice is unintelligible. He brings on politicians & newsie types, then insults them with lowbrow humor. He certainly has no Market or Business insight, so “FBN” is an odd fit.
I just…. don’t… get it.

@15 – Penelope is a slut and quit blaming O.J. for your troubles.
@13 because normally that demographic is out mixing diesel fuel and fertilizer in their toolsheds at that hour. But now that they have something to watch, ratings should improve.
@23….don’t foget about us fat bastards sitting on top of our 1987 Suburbans, watchin’ TV and looking for Mexicans and terrorists coming across the Rio Grande into Our Country. We hope our welfare checks and disability checks get here on time.
FBN sucks. And so does UBS.
They are going to shift more Fox News Network viewers and some MSNBC viewers to that time slot. No impact on CNBC. Fox can’t win.
I’m just glad Bess shrunk the picture, that was truly horrifying.
Is this fucking ghoul still alive??..I’m calling Howard
@25 – don’t forget Potvin…..
Is that his face or ass?
Jesus, this place is really fully penetrated by the Kos Kids. Don’t you little nippers have some fingers to bite off somewhere?
isn’t FBN suppose to compete with CNBC when dishing out market news? Why would anyone want to listen to that guy’s opinion of financial assets??
he looks like bill gross’ f’ed up and forgotten twin brother.

calling Imus a “racist crypt keeper” is exactly the type of humor that caused him so much trouble
If Don Imus qualifies as a Racist Crypt Keeper, what is Bess Levin?
