Anchor Does Show Unscripted
/
Fox Business Network has celebrated 10 years on the air.
When the network first launched, CNBC looked at their rival as a joke, now FBN regularly beats CNBC in the ratings. CNBC is no longer laughing.
FBN Anchor Neil Cavuto has been there since day one and you might be surprised that the Anchor does not use scripts when doing his show.
“Every time you write something up, it’s immediately old. News always changes,” Cavuto says.
The approach leaves the host and staff free to veer quickly to breaking details and forces Cavuto to rely on his experience.
It’s something he says TV-news viewers demand more of as they get most of their stock quotes and breaking-news headlines on smartphones and mobile screens.
Cavuto has also shown that he does not tow the same line when it comes to Donald Trump.
He's not afraid
“I know some admire a president who speaks his mind, but some of your tweets alone are making the people you need run for cover,” Cavuto said to President Donald Trump during a recent broadcast of his regular Fox News Channel program, “Your World.” He also said: “It’s not that some of your ideas aren’t sound — they are,” and then continued: “It’s that, increasingly, this erratic behavior is making me wonder whether you are.”
Cavuto says he knows he will be called things like “never Trumper” or “globalist,” but he’s only doing the same thing he’s done for more than 20 years. “I look at it through the prism of the business nerd.” “He has a lot of good ideas and a lot of sound programs,” says Cavuto, “but there’s no way in heck any of that comes to fruition if he keeps pulling these stunts.”
Maybe Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and all of Fox and Friends should take some time and watch Cavuto's show.
Just saying....
