Smith will leave CNBC later this month.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; CNBC President KC Sullivan said in an e-mail to staff. &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CNBC will aim to reassign the 20 staffers affected by the cancellation of Smith&#8217;s show. The network will air market coverage during the 7 pm slot that Smith occupied. A new business-related show is slated to replace Smith sometime next year.<\/p>\n<p>Smith joined the network in 2020 after leaving <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/fox-news-falls-to-the-bottom-of-ratings-for-first-time-since-2000\">Fox News<\/a>. CNBC, traditionally a business and market-heavy news network, hired Smith in hopes of having a hit centrist news show.<\/p>\n<p>The show described itself as &#8220;non-partisan coverage of the day&#8217;s most important stories&#8221; on its Twitter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to further invest in business news content that provides our audiences actionable understanding of the complex developments in global markets and the implications on institutions, investors and individuals,&#8221; Sullivan\u2019s memo added.<\/p>\n<p>CNBC writes that the decision to move on from Smith &#8220;is the first major decision made by Sullivan since taking over CNBC from Mark Hoffman in September. Hoffman had been CNBC\u2019s president since 2005.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While other news organizations such as CNN are going through cost-cutting measures, the decision to replace Smith\u2019s show with a nightly business program is strategic in nature,&#8221; they continue. &#8220;Sullivan is attempting to clarify CNBC\u2019s brand as specifically targeting business, given the many choices on TV and on the internet for more general news.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shepard Smith&#8217;s CNBC show has been canceled after two years on the network.CNBC confirmed that &#8220;The News with Shepard Smith&#8221; would be axed in a memo released on Thursday,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1723790,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1723787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1723787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1723787"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1723787\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1723790"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1723787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1723787"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1723787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
