Fox Business Network Memo To Staff: Stop Trying To Be Like Fox News

[kpete]

An executive at Fox Business Network sent a memo to staff suggesting that maybe the channel should focus more on business news and less on trying to be like its sister site, Fox News.

Peter Lauria at Reuters obtained an October 5 memo from Kevin Magee, executive vice president of FBN, titled “Fox News and Fox Business.”

“I’ve been asked to remind you all again that they are separate channels and the more we make FBN look like FNC the more of a disservice we do to ourselves,” Magee said.

2. Did Lou Dobbs get the memo?? You would think he replaced

Glenn Beck.

3. No One Takes FBN Seriously

For business news, smart people watch Bloomberg, and the not so smart watch CNBC. No one watches FBN.

People want business information, not political diatribes.
