Conde Nast Portfolio magazine's Jeff Bercovici has become a Cable Game must-read. He's got some hot stuff on Fox Business News.
Specifically, Jeff wrote on Wednesday:
Earlier today, recent CNBC refugee Liz Claman was spotted in the offices of the Fox Business Network, lending weight to widespread rumors that she'll be part of the nascent network when it hits the airwaves (or the cable wires) October 15.
Interesting!
