Maria Bartiromo Departing CNBC For Fox Business
Farewell Mareeaah. The Money Honey who epitomized CNBC in its high flying (pardon the pun) years when it was actually a source of useful information, has just marked the nadir of the TV station which in the past five years rebranded itself stock market propaganda central, and whose viewership plunged appropriately to a 20 year low as we recently reported. As Drudge reports, Bartiromo whose contact is up, is moving to Fox Business.
DRUDGE has learned that Maria Bartiromo is jumping to FOX BUSINESS NETWORK with an announcement expected sometime soon. Sources close to the situation say there have been ongoing conversations throughout the Fall. The new deal calls for Bartiromo to anchor a daily market hours program on FOX BUSINESS. Insiders say there will be a role on FOXNEWS as well... DEVELOPING...
To be sure, this is hardly a surprise. News of her imminent contract expiration came a few months ago...
CNBC’s No. 1 star, Maria “Money Honey” Bartiromo, with her hefty five-year contract set to expire late this year, is in play and is shopping herself around to rival networks, sources familiar with the situation tell The Post.
Bartiromo, 45, whose hustle and knack for landing exclusive interviews with newsmakers hasn’t been able to stem the steady decline in ratings for CNBC overall and her show in particular, is taking advantage of an open “negotiating window” and has talked to Fox Business Network and CNN, among others, sources said.
The business TV dynamo reached out and hired mega-talent agency CAA earlier this year. She is working with the agency’s boss, Richard Lovett, considered one of the top TV and Hollywood agents, and Olivia Metzger, a former CNBC talent scout, who heads CAA’s Big Apple office.
The Brooklyn-born Bartiromo famously was the first woman to report live from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. She has been with CNBC since 1993 and is said to earn between $2 million and $3 million a year.
A spokeswoman for FBN said: “There are no serious discussions going on.” CNN had no comment. A spokesman for CNBC said: “She is under contract with CNBC.”
Reached Friday as she was flying back from Lake Tahoe, where she reported from the American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament, Bartiromo, in an email, told The Post: “I don’t have any comment on anything right now.”
The intrepid brunette referred further questions to CAA.
... And it appears CNBC decided not to renew. As for FBN, the discussions appear to have been serious.
Our only question: is that other symbol of the old school CNBC, Joe Kernen, set to follow her through the exit door?

Oh yeah as if that old washed up gold digging hag is going to make me tune in to Faux news. What a fuckin joke.
Bartiromo & Cavuto = Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum
Things will not improve at CNBC until Joe Kernen is history. I have felt for years he was a drag on viewership. He has the attitude and many of the characteristics of what is wrong with Wall Street in general. I have to think at this point that CNBC is bringing in Sara Eisen to replace Maria who announced her own departure from Bloomberg sometime last Thursday. She has not been seen on Bloomberg since her announcement.
Sara Eisen is all that is (was) wrong with Blooberg this last year. They fire the intelligent reporters and bring in the Bimbos. If there weren't cue cards, little Miss Sara wouldn't have a job. Hope she brings a life jacket to CNBC as she'll need it soon.
I expect CNBC to give "SHOUTING" Al Sharpten a new show called, "If my hair is up , stocks are too".
What a completely discredited communist / progressive/ socialist POS network.
CNBC Maria Bartiromo as remembered.
Get yourself on track. Look at who you were back then, blaming age doesn’t count.
Despite picking on you, I truly want you to excel . You’re at the 7th ending of your career in journalism. Make up for all the strike-outs & base walks cited on CNBC. Again, best wishes and give them hell on FOX.
I guess the position of Jamie Dimon's Official Ball Licker was already taken.
Finance media doesn't do much for an investor - it's story telling.
Kelly Evans..........come on down. You're the next contestant on CNBC's "Let's Blow Jamie Dimond"
Another reason not to watch fox business...remember the douche dennis kneale?
I can't read about these infotainment channels anymore without thinking about Paddy Chayefsky's "Network."
We never Forget you Maria Bartiromomo, how you so eloquently and elegantly try to cover up massive fraud. Thank you for that.

If Liz Claman couldn't make Fox Business News fly, there's no way Maria B will.
CNBC should be on the phone with Liz right now.
I don't watch FBC, is Liz not on there anymore? I loved her. What a rack.
I think so. I don't watch Fox either. But I too loved Liz. In addition to be very easy on the eyes, I thought she was smart and had a lovely voice.
In my dreams, there is a Maria, on the couch in a white negligee, and, leaning in, she whispers into my ear, "everything I've said on camera the last 5 years is a lie."
Sigh, will probably never happen. I mean those words.
Kind of the CNBC/FBC/FoxNews version of "That's what I go to School 4," eh?
Cnbc is such slanted propoganda that 'naked news' has more news value.

Market topper?
She'll look like a guy in drag compared to the average Fox babe.
It's a sure sign of a top when folks start playing musical chairs.
She jumped when she saw her pay shrink and will bounce off the side of a cliff; Fox is breaking her fall for a few torturous months when she meets her real worth in the eyes of her new co-workers.
"Oh, The New York Times!"
Thank God that I'll never have to hear her at 4:00 daily on CNBS, "it's closing time, do you know where your money is?" She is a pefect fit at Faux Business.
When Joe K. is on, I watch old foreign movies to clear my palate.
h/t Criterion Collection / Netflix DVDs.
She should have switched to Russian TV where she could flop those mammary glands for the masses...
I'm waiting for her to do porn... preferrably non-speaking roles.
The women at Bloomberg are smarter and better looking
Whatever.
As they say, the bigger the mammaries, the dumber the broad......you're so busy ogling the twins, who hears a thing the woman has to say....and more importantly, who cares?
I just like to watch her tits.
Their sagging just like CNBC's ratings.
At my age I won't complain.
One of these young new honeys on CNBC or Fox business needs to have a "wardrobe malfunction". Then we will really see the ratings soar!!
Where are all the Wall Street gurus when you need them, to tell us how to short Maria’s career?
I’m betting it ends with her pitching reverse mortgages on a 30 minute paid advertising slot after the Late Show.
Maria hosting the SkyBridge self-congratulation show for financial bravery defending big bankers and the double-counters AUM by curators piggy-backing on the elusive Alpha Morphetropes.
I'm starting to get the idea that only audience left watching CNBC is zerohedge subscribers who only watch it to complain how bad it is at this point.
I love infotainment. Like 0hedge, CNBC, Bloomberg, Fox,CNN The Guardian, Telegraph, BBC, NPR, Drudge. It's way more fixed than horse racing. So what, it's still show business.
Usually it's neither informative or entertaining.
I love it anyway.
Every once and awhile someone says something illuminating. It's always shocking. It's very rare which is one of the reasons it so shocking.
Once in a while I even watch that manic jackass Cramer. When he is on a full crank high, spitting all over the other media weenies it is entertaining as hell. I get the corruption and the agenda driven guest list etc. I don't care.
Please pass the infotainment.
Maria B and Megan Kelly vs Natasha Curry and Gloria Borger in a no hands allowed banana and coolwhip eating contest I'm there. I'll down load it.
24 Hrs a day neither entertainment or information. Gimmie another helping!
You forgot to include The Economist ...
(Disclaimer: Irony may occur)
There goes FOX News viewership. Sure she isn't a plant to wreck FOX Business? Hell, give her a dancing-pole and let her dance naked! That's all she's good for.
It would be epic if she goes bankrupt
World Association Game:
fat - sloppy - greasy - hairy
Maria's little speech on Integrity-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFCCKdeOpC8
When the dollar crashes it will be her on tv saying she was sorry for misleading the little people. Then she will try to escape on a yacht.
"Bartiromo, 45, whose hustle and knack for landing exclusive interviews with newsmakers"
Bartiromo 45, whose knack for ball and ass licking married CEO's in exchange for ACCESS.......
Bartiromo cited in ex-Citigroup CFO’s divorcehttp://pagesix.com/2013/10/02/bartiromo-cited-in-divorce/
Ugly stuff, divorce.
So he bumped the other Citi execs so he and Maria were the only passengers on the way home from Asia?
Hmm...doesn't sound appropriate to me; either for business or a marriage.
Now you know why her nick-name is Maria "G6" Bartiromo (though in 2007 it was probably a G5 or G4).

Watching her just the other day, she's lookin' rid 'ard and pud away wet…
Oh! If only someone could do a really good caricature of her! That nose! Those poor ol' botoxed lips! And those eyes, caked up with all that crap! It'd be priceless!
I couldn't imagine what she'd look like sans war-paint?!?
Coyote ugly…
