FRESH NEWS: No wonder Jeff Zucker isn’t worried about Fox Business News

Published: Thursday, November 01, 2007

Jeff Zucker has expressed his lack of concern about Fox Business news gaining on CNBC basically calling Rupert Murdoch's business network a joke. Fresh in our inbox comes a press release about a new animated news segment that will air on FBN’s Happy Hour called "Hoofy and Boo’s News and Views". Is Fox Business News really about entertaining Wall/Main Streeters, unlike CNBC's dead serious business news and information? We don't know. The guys over at FBN seem to be really psyched about this new addition to their line up though.

MINYANVILLE’S HOOFY & BOO MAKE TELEVISION DEBUT ON FOX BUSINESS NETWORK

New York – Minyanville Publishing and Multimedia (http://www.minyanville.com)/ and Fox Business Network (FBN) today announced that Hoofy and Boo’s News and Views, TV’s first-ever regularly scheduled animated news segment will air each Friday on FBN’s Happy Hour, which is presented daily from 5-6PM (EST). It will also air on the network throughout the week and online at both www.minyanville.com and http://www.foxbusiness.com/.

Hoofy and Boo already have a loyal following on Minyanville.com. Representing Wall Street’s iconic Bull and Bear, the animated “Critters” provide an off-beat and humorous look at what’s going on in the world of business. Created by Founder and CEO of Minyanville Publishing and Multimedia Todd Harrison to represent the dynamic trends in the financial marketplace, the comic characters have become synonymous with market activity and entertainment. They will continue to be created and produced by Minyanville’s own team of writers and producers. In making the announcement, Harrison said, “With Hoofy and Boo appearing on Fox Business Network, we are truly bringing Main Street and Wall Street closer together. We are partnering with a leading broadcast entity to deliver entertaining and engaging content across a new medium: an animated news show.”

Brian Jones, FBN’s Senior Vice President of Operations added, “Hoofy and Boo’s News and Views are a refreshing addition to our line-up and are in line with Happy Hour's overall aim to bring Main Street to The Street.”Minyanville President Kevin Wassong added, “Hoofy and Boo are quickly becoming the icons of finance. Their voice and perspective on main stream financial issues and topics has been well received on Minyanville.com and we expect them to be just as popular with viewers of Fox Business Network.”
