FBN's Charlie Gasparino Aims To Knock-off CNBC

Fox Business Network reporter Charlie Gasparino has one goal - to pummel the competition, according to a story by Richard Huff at nydailynews.com.

That's why he's at FBN, he says, and this week he marks his first year at the Fox-owned business news cable network.

"I'd rather be part of a startup," Gasparino says.

At CNBC, where he worked before Fox, his goals were different, and, he says, not as appealing.

"The goal here is to beat the hell out of CNBC," he says. "To beat the established winner is so much more satisfying. It's so much more exciting than it ever was at CNBC.

"I like to take on the big guys," he adds. "I've been doing it my entire career. Before it was fashionable to beat up on Wall Street, I was doing it."

The fact that the Fox Business is in fewer homes and has fewer viewers than CNBC only pushes him more.

Gasparino, 47, is not afraid to cite his wins in the battle of news stories - he can even note market changes based on his work - and he's been around long enough to notch a bunch of them.

Before Fox and CNBC, Gasparino worked at Newsweek and at The Wall Street Journal.
