发帖数: 675 | 1 Lou Dobbs, the former CNN anchor who quit last November after 27 years with
the cable-news network, is joining News Corp.’s Fox Business Network to
start his own show.
Dobbs, 65, will develop and host a daily show that will start in the first
quarter, New York-based Fox Business said today in a statement. He will also
provide analysis and commentary across the network’s programs, as part of
the multiyear agreement.
At CNN, Dobbs drew controversy for his coverage of illegal immigrants and
questioning of President Barack Obama’s citizenship. His ratings declined
after the 2008 presidential race and he announced his departure from the
Time Warner Inc. 24-hour news channel almost exactly a year ago. In its last
years, “Lou Dobbs Tonight” had focused less on business and more on the
economic impact of trade, immigration and the loss of middle-class jobs in
the U.S.
When he quit, Dobbs vowed to work to change the way these issues had become
defined by “partisanship and ideology rather than by rigorous, empirical
thought and forthright analysis and discussion.”
Fox Business was started in October 2007 and is available in about 56
million U.S. households, according to News Corp.’s 10-K regulatory filing
from August. CNN reaches more than 100 million households.
‘Imus in the Morning’
Fox Business has been modifying its lineup. It began simulcasting radio
personality Don Imus’ nationally syndicated program, “Imus in the Morning,
” a year ago at 6 a.m. New York time.
News Corp., based in New York, rose 17 cents, or 1.2 percent, to $14.45 at 4
p.m. in Nasdaq Stock Market trading. The shares have gained 5.5 percent
this year.
Dobbs started at CNN when it began operating in 1980. Later, advocacy groups
including Media Matters and Presente.org pressured CNN to drop the anchor.
He gave so-called birthers who questioned the authenticity of Obama’s birth
certificate a platform on his TV show.
Dobbs’s viewership soared to 953,000 at CNN during the 2008 U.S.
presidential election. In 2009, he averaged 776,000 viewers at 7 p.m.
When he announced his resignation from CNN on air, Dobbs said that some
leaders in media, politics and business had urged him to get more actively
involved in political, economic and social issues, leading to speculation he
may run for political office.
