It’s been two months since CNBC canceled Shepard Smith’s “The News with Shepard Smith,” and now Brian Sullivan is set to fill the one-hour time slot with a new show called “The Last Call.” TheWrap has confirmed.
Sullivan, currently anchor of “Worldwide Exchange,” will step into the role of anchor of CNBC’s new 7 p.m. business journalism show, “The Last Call.” The show comes as part of CNBC’s goal to invest more in its original content covering business news and personal finance.
“‘Last Call’ is a fast-paced, entertaining business show that explores the intersection of money, culture and policy. Through panels, debates and newsmakers,” CNBC President Casey Sullivan told the staff about the change to the weekday lineup. said in a memorandum about “‘Last Call’ will not only take a fresh look at the day’s biggest business topics, but also shine a light on other important stories our viewers may have missed, all while keeping an eye on how the markets are trending.” For what matters. The next day.”
In addition, CNBC is shaking up its programming with Sarah Eisen of “Closing Bell” co-anchoring the 10 a.m. with Carl Quintanilla and David Faber. Scott Wapner will move from “Closing Bell: Overtime” to “Closing Bell” at 3 p.m., and will retain his role as host of the “Halftime Report”.
Other changes included replacing “TechCheck” with “Squawk on the Street” being extended for another hour from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., which would now be anchored by Quintanilla and Eisen. “TechCheck” would continue as a branded franchise and “Business Day” would serve as a daily segment with Deidra Bossa as anchor.
