Erin Burnett Says Goodbye to CNBC

TVNewser's Chris Ariens has the video of Erin Burnett's sign-off from CNBC.

The sign-off featured some highlights from Erin's time at CNBC.  Erin gave some rather strange gifts to her co-anchor Mark Haines, including Cheetohs lip gloss and camel magnets.  The segment ended with a choked-up Erin saying good-bye to her CNBC viewers one last time.

But don't worry, Erin fans.  She will begin her career with CNN-where she will anchor a weekday news show-next month.

CNN Confirms It: Erin Burnett Heading to CNN in June

Well, we have our official confirmation that CNBC's Erin Burnett is jumping ship.

TVNewser posts that CNN has confirmed that Erin will be joining the network in June:

Erin Burnett will join CNN Worldwide as anchor and chief business and economics correspondent, it was announced today by Jim Walton, president of CNN Worldwide. Burnett will anchor a weekday general news program and will contribute to CNN’s coverage of national and international breaking news events and contribute reporting to CNN.com.
Burnett will begin in June and will be based in CNN’s New York Headquarters.

No time slot for Erin's show has been announced yet.

Congratulations to Erin on her move to CNN.  She is an extraordinarily beautiful and smart journalist, and this move will give her more exposure and opportunities.  It will no doubt be a plus for her career.

Erin Burnett Going to CNN?

Brian Stelter of The New York Times reports that Erin Burnett is jumping from CNBC to CNN.


Other than stating that Erin's deal with CNN will be "long-term," Stelter is short on details, raising questions about Erin's potential role on CNN.  Will she be an anchor or a reporter?  If she will be an anchor, what time slot will she fill?  Will her reporting be limited to business news?

Like many other viewers, I've always considered Erin to be part of CNBC's brand.  To see a story about her leaving the network with which she is so closely associated is shocking.

Erin Burnett has proven to be an extremely talented business news reporter on CNBC.  She will undoubtedly be a great asset to CNN.
