Shepard Smith out at CNBC as network shifts focus

After just two years, CNBC is pulling the plug on Shepard Smith's prime-time show, The News with Shepard Smith.

The move is being done to "refocus on business and market coverage," the network said in a statement.

“After spending time with many of you and closely reviewing the various aspects of our business, I believe we must prioritize and focus on our core strengths of business news and personal finance,” CNBC President KC Sullivan said in an email to CNBC employees. “As a result of this strategic alignment to our core business, we will need to shift some of our priorities and resources and make some difficult decisions.”

The show will end later this month. A final air date has not been announced. The network also has not indicated who will fill that time slot.

They could put a trained chimp in his spot for peanuts and still get higher ratings.

Poor Shemp.  He chose his career path poorly

"While other news organizations such as CNN are going through cost-cutting measures, the decision to replace Smith’s show with a nightly business program is strategic in nature," they continue. "Sullivan is attempting to clarify CNBC’s brand as specifically targeting business, given the many choices on TV and on the internet for more general news."

Are you sure he just can't count and made four? I feel so sad for him, who is going to do his makeup for him now so he looks pretty?
