Day 97: CNBC

My Best Guess: Get the latest highlights in today's financial news straight from some of the top analysts in the business, and start making your money work harder for you, with Sirius and CNBC

According to Sirius: CNBC is the recognized global leader in business news, providing real-time financial market coverage and business information to more than 231 million households worldwide, including more than 86 million households in the United States and Canada

Curt's Rebuttal: I was going for more of a creative "selling" of the station, as opposed to a quick biographical snapshot, but guess their approach is more hard-hitting.

Sample Playlist

• The Call: This show during my morning drive covered the question of whether your money market fund was at risk. The answer: no, largely because I don't have one. This was followed by a discussion of the economic situation that Canada has found itself in. Normally, cities like Vancouver and Toronto draw in a lot of U.S. television production, but due to an unusually strong Canadian dollar and the writer's strike currently going on, their economy is being affected by a lack of production coming up from the States.
• The Millionaire Inside: The drive home featured this show, which was a one-on-one interview with Donald Trump, and his views on the state of the real estate market.

Verdict: Well, got out of the sports section a lot quicker than I thought I would...it didn't even jump out of the 120's before entering another genre. That having been said, the sports radio was probably more enticing to me than discussions of financial matters. If I suddenly start investing more, I may flag this station, but until then, will keep moving on up the dial.
