The Trump administration’s push for a huge increase in tariffs on imports last week sent financial markets into a tailspin — and a host of new viewers to the cable channels who cover those markets.

The tariffs, announced by President Donald Trump at a White House event on April 2, triggered big sell-offs in markets worldwide over the next few days. In the United States, the S&P 500 index has declined by almost 11 percent in the days since the tariff announcement; the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq Composite have fallen by similar amounts.

A couple of lines, however, are going up: those representing the audiences on CNBC and Fox Business Network. Both saw their ratings jump in the days after the announcement.

From Wednesday to Friday (April 2-4), CNBC averaged 293,000 viewers during market hours (9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Et), 36 percent more than the previous four weeks. For its full daytime programming slate,...

Rushing to set today at 2:25 p.m. Et, Fox Business Network anchor Liz Claman (3-4 p.m.’s The Claman Countdown) saw a headline on Reuters: “Euro Extends Losses as EU Announces Retaliatory Tariffs on the U.S.”

“I immediately said, ‘That’s our lead,'” she told The Hollywood Reporter at 4:30 p.m. There was just one problem … Thomson Reuters was not quite right. What the EU actually said was that they’re thinking about it; Claman and her producers uncovered the error at exactly 2:59 p.m. The joys of live television!

Well, sometimes it is a joy.

“We are happiest when we tear up the show five minutes before the top of the hour. However, we’ve been tearing up the show in middle of the broadcast,” Claman said. “Oh, my God. We’ve been moving things around like a chess board on steroids.

Not many people who work at Fox News Channel get to push back at Sean Hannity. Lawrence Jones is one of them.

When Jones was just getting started at the Fox Corp.-backed conservative-leaning news outlet, Hannity took him under his wing, and offered advice, even the chance to start appearing on his well-watched primetime program. At first, “I told him no,” Jones recalls, “I’m more libertarian. You’re more conservative. I just want to be able to do what I do.” Hannity told him the pair could use their differences to create interesting segments. “We will make it a thing on TV,” Jones remembers being told.

Lawrence Jones continues to do things differently at Fox News Channel. At 31, he is decidedly younger than many of the network’s best-known personalities. He is one of just a handful of people of color who hold regular posts on the Fox News schedule.

Fox Business Network host Liz Claman was formally inducted into the Cable Hall of Fame at an industry event last week.

The ceremony took place at the Syndeo Institute on April 18, and saw Claman honored with several peer cable executives and stakeholders.

Claman was introduced by former Showtime Chairman and CEO Matt Blank, who now serves as a senior advisor to Raine Group, and former Cox Communications CEO Patt Esser.

Members of Claman’s production staff and executives and colleagues from Fox Business Network were on hand to witness her induction, including “Claman Countdown” executive producer Brad Hirst and senior producer Milanee Kapadia. Fox Business Network Senior Vice President of Programming Ralph Giordano, Vice President Charlie Brady, Cheryl Cassone, Kennedy and Charlie Gasparino.

“I value this award more than you’ll ever know,” Claman said at the event, acknowledging and thanking Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott,...

Fox Business Network host Liz Claman has been chosen as one of six cable pioneers to be inducted into Syndeo Institute’s Cable Hall of Fame this year.

Claman, who hosts “The Claman Countdown” for the network, holds the honor of being the only on-air talent named among the 2024 honorees, which honors influential and trailblazing members of the cable television industry.

Claman has worked in cable news for more than two decades, first joining CNBC as an anchor in 1998 before moving to the Fox Business Network upon its launch in 2007. She began her television career as a production assistant at Kcbs-tv (Channel 2) in 1986, where she was the youngest person at the station to win a regional Emmy Award.

In addition to Claman, the other five inductees who will be honored at the...

As Los Angeles waits for approval to move forward on reopening businesses, AMC Theatres CEO Adam Aron said his company plans to reopen theaters on March 19.

“It’ll take a few days to assemble staff, but all protocols are set and we will open Los Angeles theaters one week from tomorrow, no matter what,” Aron told Fox Business’ Liz Claman on Thursday.

Aron’s comments came hours before county health officials announced that L.A. will move into the second tier of California’s reopening system, allowing movie theaters to reopen at a capacity limit of 25%. Reaching the second tier requires counties to lower the number of daily Covid-19 cases to seven per 100,000 people, but that was raised to 10 per 100,000 people after California reached its goal of vaccinating 2 million people in lower-income communities.

In order to raise the theater capacity to 50%, the county will need to reach the third tier of reopening,...

Lou Dobbs’ program is off the schedule at Fox Business Network, and Larry Kudlow’s will soon be on.

Fox Business Network will launch a new 4 p.m. program led by Kudlow on Tuesday, February 16, putting the former Trump economic adviser and CNBC personality on screen just as the stock markets close for the day. Fox Business did not offer a title for the new program, but said it would “feature closing market analysis as well as interviews with major industry leaders influencing Wall Street, Washington and business in America.”

Fox Business announced Kudlow’s hire late last month.

Kudlow’s show will air again at 7 p.m., an hour previously reserved for repeats of “Lou Dobbs Tonight.” Fox Business abruptly announced Friday that it was canceling Dobbs’ “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” its most-watched show. Dobbs is one of three anchors employed by Fox News Media who have been named in...

Larry Kudlow, the former CNBC host turned Trump economic advisor, has found a new media job after his time at the White House — and it’s not with his former employer.

Kudlow, who took on the unenviable job of predicting a quick V-shaped recovery for the nation in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and also tried to make the case the contagion was contained before it took full root in the U.S,, will launch a new weekday program for Fox Business Network. Starting February 8, he will provide financial analysis on U.S. and global affairs across all Fox News Media properties. Details of his new program will be announced at a later time.

He was named Assistant to the President for Economic Policy and Director of the National Economic Council in 2018, where he coordinated the administration’s domestic and economic policy agenda.

“Larry’s vast experience in policy...

A little-known Washington state group raised eyebrows earlier this month when it filed a lawsuit calling for a judge to keep Fox News from airing false information about the coronavirus pandemic. Now it has raised some hackles, too: Fox News has moved to dismiss the legal proceeding.

The Fox News Media motion, filed Tuesday, asks the Washington state court to reject a suit from a little-known group known as the Washington League for Increased Transparency and Ethics, or Washlite, that Fox News says would essentially impose a gag order on its opinion and commentary. In the filing, Fox News Media says the “claims here are frivolous because the statements at issue are core political speech on matters of public concern. The First Amendment does not permit censoring this type of speech based on the theory that it is ‘false’ or ‘outrageous.’ Nor does the law of the State of Washington.

Trish Regan, who gained notice on Fox Business Network for a primetime program that developed a specialty for heated political talk, is leaving the network, just days after the show was removed from its schedule.

Regan’s show was taken off the air earlier this month in a bid to devote more newsgathering staff to coronavirus coverage. Several other programs have been trimmed as well, but Regan had captured attention for a vociferous segment that aired earlier in March suggesting liberals were overstating the effects of the spread of coronavirus to discredit President Donald Trump. A graphic that accompanied one segment that aired read “Coronavirus Impeachment Scam.”

“Fox Business has parted ways with Trish Regan – we thank her for her contributions to the network over the years and wish her continued success in her future endeavors,” the network said in a statement. “We will continue our reduced live primetime schedule...

Robin Roberts, one of the most familiar faces in morning-tv news, will start to co-anchor ABC’s “Good Morning America” from home, after a doctor recommended she do so due to her medical history and the nation’s continuing struggle with the spread of coronavirus

Roberts has no symptoms and is in good health, but has grappled in years past with myelodysplastic syndrome, a bone marrow disease, and took time off from the show in late 2012 and early 2013 for a bone-marrow transplant. “It’s hard to leave because you want the normalcy. You want it not just for yourself, but for your viewers,” Roberts said Tuesday in what will be her last broadcast for the time being from the Times Square Studios that house “Gma” production in New York. She added: “I’ll be able to keep my slippers on the whole morning.”

Roberts’ departure from traditional “Gma” environs marks...

Liz Claman is the latest Fox Business Network anchor to go into self-quarantine as a result of the coronavirus epidemic.

Claman appeared briefly on her usual hour, the 3 p.m. “Claman Countdown,” to tell viewers she was six days in to a quarantine process. “I miss you guys,” she said.

Claman is one of a handful of on-air personalities to be taken out of regular rotation due to the spread of coronavirus. Charles Payne told viewers last week he was staying at home, owing to his wife having a compromised immune system in a town that has suffered during the outbreak, while evening host Lou Dobbs has also decided to isolate himself. Four employees at Fox News Media have tested positive for coronavirus in recent days and top executives at the Fox Corporation-owned unit have vowed to keep employees informed about workplace conditions.

Claman has held down the same hour...

Fox Business Network anchor Liz Claman, who normally hosts a show at 3 p.m., is temporarily off the air and in quarantine after a member of her team tested positive for the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

Claman, however, beamed into her show — The Claman Countdown — from her home on Monday.

"She is fine," said fill-in anchor Cheryl Casone. "She is one of the finest, healthiest people I know. This is all out of an abundance of caution."

In a brief appearance on Monday, Claman told viewers that she is six days from ...

Fox Business Network plans to trim two more hours of its daily programming schedule, the latest in a series of maneuvers by news organizations amid an intense cycle related to the coronavirus outbreak.

The Fox Corporation-owned outlet will temporarily cease production of two programs – “Fbn am” at 5 a.m. and “Bulls & Bears” at 5 p.m. – while moving one of its highest-rated shows, “Lou Dobbs Tonight” to the 5 p.m. hour. A repeat of Dobbs’ daily show will air instead at 7 p.m. The interim Fox Business schedule will run from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Fox Business previously suspended two primetime shows, “Trish Regan Primetime” and “Kennedy,” citing a desire to emphasize coverage of the current news cycle.

“While Fbn will remain committed to delivering up to the minute breaking business news and analysis, our first priority is the health and safety of our employees,” said Lauren Petterson, president of Fox Business Network,...

Fox News is making a return to Twitter, more than a year after going silent on the social-media platform.

At 2:18 p.m. on Nov. 8, 2018, the Fox Corporation-owned cable-news outlet issued a tweet telling its followers that a federal appeals court had ruled against the Trump administration’s desire to end the U.S. program that gives immigrants a chance to continue working and living in the United States. After that, the network’s main feed went silent. Since that time, there has not been a headline, a video, an alert or even a programming note.

Now the news outlet is poised to resurface on the venue, with executives envisioning the chance to use it as a service or a means of getting information about the coronavirus outbreak to followers. Approximately 18.5 million people follow the network on Twitter.

The first tweet from the feed in months is expected to tell...

Fox Business Network said it would scrap most of its primetime schedule by putting two of its programs on hiatus “until further notice” in order to staff coverage of the coronavirus crisis elsewhere within Fox News Media.

The network said in a statement that its 8 p.m. hour, “Trish Regan Primetime,” and 9 p.m. hour, “Kennedy,” would be replaced by long form programming.

“Due to the demands of the evolving pandemic crisis coverage, we are deploying all resources from both shows for staffing needs during critical market hours,” the network’s statement said.

Regan, who hosts a show that tends to focus on the political, has generated some criticism in recent days for hosting segments suggesting that liberals were overstating the effects of the spread of coronavirus to discredit President Donald Trump. A graphic that accompanied one segment that aired Monday read “Coronavirus Impeachment Scam.”

Regan launched her program in...

Liz Claman’s recent ahead-of-the-curve coverage of the effects of the coronavirus crisis on the stock market has been brought to you by Td Ameritrade. But the online broker hasn’t interrupted her Fox Business Network program once in the past three days to make its marketing point.

The anchor’s “The Claman Countdown” has been running without commercial interruption, giving viewers more time to focus on a stunning plunge of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. A Td Ameritrade logo runs on screen, part of a bid to make plain that the financial-services firm is partially responsible for the extra program time. Td Ameritrade has also helped to facilitate commercial-free blocks between 9 a.m. and noon this week on the Fox Corp,-owned business-news outlet.

Viewers of Fox Business Network will notice something different about Maria Bartiromo’s program on Monday morning. The anchor will be the same, but the screen around her won’t.

The cable network has reworked its graphics, which will appear tomorrow for the first time, around its programs – all part of an effort to provide viewers who can already get stock prices on their mobile devices with a more concise presentation of market data, analysis and headlines. Fox Business is also launching a revamped website and mobile app, while kicking off an ad campaign and a new network slogan, “Invested In You.”

The goal is to remind viewers – and potential advertisers – that Fox Business Network tackles more than just the stock market, says Bartiromo in an interview. “Most people don’t day trade. Most people are not looking at the ticker tape,” she says. “At the end of the day,...

Trish Regan is being promoted to primetime on Fox Business Network as part of a schedule shuffle to extend network’s live programming through 10 Pm.

Meanwhile, Charles Payne’s program Making Money will move from 6Pm Et to 2 Pm Et, taking Regan’s slot. Liz Claman will continue anchoring Countdown to the Closing Bell at 3 Pm Et.

The network’s new post-market schedule also features the return of Bulls & Bears with David Asman; he will be replaced by Connell McShane on Fbn’s 4 Pm show After the Bell, joining co-host Melissa Francis.

Following Bulls & Bears, The Evening Edit with Elizabeth MacDonald slides to 6Pm Et. Lou Dobbs Tonight sticks at 7Pm Et. Newly re-named Kennedy Live will air live at 9 Pm Et.

Fbn’s lineup, as of October 15th:

2pm: Making Money with Charles Payne 3pm: Countdown to the Closing Bell with Liz Claman 4pm: After the Bell with Melissa...

Fox Business Network said it would create a new primetime business lineup anchored by Trish Regan at 8 p.m., as it seeks to extend live programming into the evening. The new lineup will start October 15.

Brian Jones, president of the 21st Century Fox-owned cable network, said the move would help Fox Business continue to burnish a programming style that emphasizes how the political economy affects the everyday lives of viewers.

“Trish Regan Primetime” will feature Regan, a Fox veteran who has also worked for Bloomberg and CNBC, as she examines the leading headlines of the day and their economic impact on the country. Regan will be joined each night by a rotating lineup of industry expert. Charles Payne’s program “Making Money” will move from 6 p.m. in the evening to Regan’s current 2 p.m. slot. Liz Claman will continue anchoring “Countdown to the Closing Bell at 3 p.

Hustler Magazine founder Larry Flynt is offering $10 million for information that leads to the impeachment of Donald Trump, according to a screenshot obtained and tweeted by Fox Business host Liz Claman and retweeted by Flynt. The porn kingpin’s full-page ad in Sunday’s edition of the Washington Post offers the cash reward “for information leading to the impeachment and removal from office of Donald J. Trump.” The ad cites a number of reasons Flynt believes Trump is “unfit” for the office of President, including his firing of FBI director James Comey, his “unconscionable” defense of the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis.

Fox News contributor and commentator Alan Colmes has died after a brief illness. He was 66.

America’s Newsroom co-anchor Bill Hemmer announced the news during Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox program.

“We have, yet again, some sad news to report here at the Fox News Channel,” said Hemmer. “Fox News contributor and frequent guest here in America’s Newsroom, Alan Colmes, has passed away.”

Colmes is survived by his wife, Jocelyn Crowley, who issued the following statement to the network:

“Alan Colmes passed away this morning after a brief illness. He was 66-years-old. He leaves his adoring and devoted wife,...

As the stock market roller coaster continued Monday, business journalists were on high alert as they reported on what really warrants panicking and what is just market jitters run amok. Fox Business’ Liz Claman was on-air throughout #BlackMonday, when the market opened down over 1,000 points before regaining 700 points in an ensuing rally hours later. Claman said the overall market swoon has a huge impact on media companies, who’ve been taking big losses in August.

The Outnumbered panel has been calling on President Barack Obama for weeks to step up military action against Isis, a trend that continued Wednesday afternoon, when guest host (and Fox Business anchor) Liz Claman told the panel that geopolitics wasn't a talk show, and that the actual process of building an international coalition to fight the Sunni militants was a more deliberative and less performative process than some might like.

Liz Claman, anchor of Countdown to the Closing Bell with Liz Claman (weekdays on Fox Business Network, 3-4pm Et) and co-anchor of Fbn’s After the Bell (weekdays 4-5pm Et), has been with the network since October 2007. Along with her business reporting, she has become known for her coverage of the annual Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder meeting, generally held in early May. Berkshire Hathaway is headed by famed CEO Warren Buffett, and Claman has sat down with the “Oracle of Omaha” for one-on-one interviews for nine years now, she tells us. Claman again covered the “Weekend with Warren” this past weekend, … Continue reading →

CNBC and Bloomberg’s interviews with Twitter execs on the day of the company’s Ipo did not go down well with rival network Fox Business Network. Instead of interviewing with all three business news channels, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo granted CNBC an interview before the company went public and spoke with Bloomberg on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. But when Fbn’s producers tried to talk to Costolo, they were “escorted away,” according to Fbn anchor Liz Claman, who slammed Twitter throughout her afternoon shows.

After Fox Business Network canceled its entire primetime lineup in February, Zap2it has heard exclusively that, on Monday, April 23, Fbn's daytime lineup will also get a shakeup.

While earlier reports had the details of the lineup changes, Fbn held back the exact date until almost the last minute, perhaps to keep Wall Street on its toes. Fbn airs live in Eastern time; adjust for your time zone.

As of Monday, Dennis Kneale joins Cheryl Casone (above) as co-host of the noon hour.
