2010 was not good to CNBC's Maria Bartiromo.
Bartiromo, arguably the most recognizable face at CNBC, lost 40% of her demo (ages 25-54) viewers in 2010 according to Nielsen. Yes.
Bartiromo is not alone. CNBC saw one of its worst years in the 25-54 demo in the past decade and ratings are way down across the board, but Bartiromo suffered the worst drop. [Numbers below].
Clearly the entire network needs a shot in the arm that goes way beyond Jim Cramer's excessively energetic show. However, the sort of headlines the newschannel might generate by switching up Bartiromo's chair might be just the thing.
A few years back the obvious successor to Bartiromo was Erin Burnett, but over the years Burnett has lost her newness factor raising the question: is it time for some fresh blood?

People who are 25-54 are AT WORK!! I watch for a few minutes every morning, then I’m gone. My guess is that most viewers are retired, have money and want to keep track of things. But really, who else can sit around all day and watch it? Besides, that’s what the Internet is for. And you can do that at work.
The only proof you need that Obummer owns all of CNBC is to Watch Kudlow every night. His comments at the drop of a hat that Obummer is totally pro business in comparison to his Sat morning program on 770AM WABC where he is fully open to comment on the disaster this guy is. CNBC commentators are muzzled.
In my book, you are the master of understatement!

Fixed it...That's better....
True, it was the best high-flyer, HOWEVER, what I didn't know was that it was at the end of its run.
Reason being, it was a small, nimble fund, which could easily re-allocate its holdings, and had a great five-year run. But, once it became well-known, money poured into it by the billions, and it became a big, sluggish fund.
I didn't lose money in it, in fact made about 8% annually, but that was poor performance during the buildup of the tech bubble.
Moral of the story is, don't trust these shills, do your own research, and learn from experience.
Jane Wells -— I like her
Beck Quick — very good
Fast Money -— best show
Cramer -— moron, you will go broke following his advice
Kudlow at 7Pm— very good show
Liz Clayman -— good and intelligent
mo’ money, mo’ money
Probably nothing to do with this female host and a lot to due with the fact that Individual Investors have largely fled the stock market.
The most active trades these days are by Large Institutions and Hedge Funds.
Mom and pop investors realize the fix is in and no longer invest like they used to and there is no longer a need to watch shows regarding the stock market.
CNBC may be run by a liberal network, but the majority of the analysts are superb. Rick Santelli, the Paul Revere of the Tea Party movement,still reports from the the bond pit for CNBC.
Fox Business has no depth to their coverage.
But they have Cramer the genius.
Santelli kicks ass. The bald guy is a total Keynesian and Erin is Hot. The old Doofus on in the morning has got to go.
Word on the street in NY, they are working on that.
I love Fast Money,,,But I wish Jeff (”in the long run,we’re all dead”) Macke was still there.

Guy Adami is a major clown. I like him. Macke I missed...didn’t watch it back then. But Fast Money has its finger on the daily pulse of the markets
Melissa Lee is very fast and sharp for a girl
Santelli kicks ass.>>>>>
He’s always keeping it real in the way Freepers like it.
CNBC pimps stocks.
Real investors are not interested in hype.
Laz, where da hell are ya!?
Spreading love and joy where ever I can all over Free Republic. Who wants to know?
