    Re: Financial tv shows

    I was in love with CNNfn and I was really sad to see it go. I wish they would bring it back. Other than that, I watch Suze Orman religiously - her show, not her PBS specials, The Dolans. I Tivo them so I don't miss them. I have never been able to get into bloomberg TV

    I listen to clark howard and dave ramsey via the internet alternating days.

      I only have basic cable, so don't catch too many financial TV shows. I used to listen to Ken and Daria Dolan on the radio all the time, for years, but they changed their time slot to evenings, i think, and i just lost the habit of tuning in at their new time.

      been hearing a lot about dave ramsey and would like to find out more, esp. if he's on the internet, which is where i get 90% of mynews these days...

          I don't watch too many financial show because I won't pay $30-$50 a month for cable/satellite television. I do watch Nightly Business Report on PBS daily (it is probably the only television I watch). I do listen to Making Money with Doug Fabian over the internet, lots of interesting investing strategies.

            I listen to as many financial show on the radio as I can. One locally in Boston is the Money Experts-good common sense advise.

            I also listen to Bob Brinker . I used to listen to the Dolan when they were available here but I can't find them on the radio anymore.

              When I sat on a trading desk CNBC was the default while occasionally Bloomberg TV. Usually CNBC as Bloomberg TV will stream through the Bloomberg Professional Ap. He is the biggest @ss in the world but I Jim Cramer comes out with some great individual equity picks.

                I try and try and try to watch Jim Cramer, but I can't. I'm sure there is some excellent advice there but I can't do it.

                    I watch the Suze Orman show on Saturday nights when I get home from work. She's cheesy (she calls male callers "Big Boy") but I learn new things and get mental reinforcement for what I already know.

                    This month, Washington Post reporter Michelle Singletary started a show on the TV One network (I get it through my and my roomates' satellite dish, DirecTV) called "Singletary Says". It's a 30 minute show that helps two couples per show evaluate their finances. She has a chat on www.washingtonpost.com every two weeks.

                      I caught him on mute with closed captioning at a coffee shop. It eliminates the weird tribal booyas and the decent advice shines through. Of course then you wonder why he's pitching the chairs...

                          I like Suze Orman too, but I can never find when she is on and what network?? I listen to Clark Howard on the radio and I use to listen to Dave Ramsey, but cannot find him on the radio anymore.

                            In Seattle, she's on CNBC weekday afternoons.

                              I love Michelle Singletary. She's syndicated on a number of newspapers and she's on NPR show Day to Day for a few minutes on Tuesdays.

                              Madeleine Brand shares money and finance questions from Day to Day listeners with personal finance contributor Michelle Singletary. Singletary also writes the syndicated column "The Color of Money" for The Washington Post.
