[edit] About the program
Money for Breakfast, which debuted on October 15, 2007—the same day the network was launched—followed pre-market business headlines. This program was anchored by Alexis Glick. Contributors and reporters included Jenna Lee (who reported the latest business headlines), Fox Business stocks editor Liz MacDonald, and Fox Business contributor Charles Payne.
Money for Breakfast was reduced from four hours to three on 2007-12-17 as The Opening Bell on Fox Business, also hosted by Glick, replaced the fourth hour of this program. On 2008-05-12, it was contracted to two hours as Fox Business Network replaced the first hour of this show (6-7am ET) with the second hour of the expanded Fox Business Morning.
Peter Barnes, who was Glick's co-anchor since the show's debut, left the show on 2008-05-09 as he became the network's senior Washington correspondent. Glick became the sole anchor of the show from May 12, 2008 through its final show on September 25, 2009.
Money for Breakfast debuted a new show logo (which now has the word "FOR" inside the letter "O") and moved to a new set in Studio G on 2009-04-20. This program, along with The Opening Bell on Fox Business (also with Alexis Glick),Countdown to the Closing Bell, Fox Business Bulls & Bears and Cavuto all shared that same set in the new Studio G.
[edit] Cancellation
On 2009-09-03, the program was canceled to make way for Imus in the Morning; Glick will become a contributor to the Imus program. The last episode of Money for Breakfast aired September 25, 2009, at which point FBN debuted a new online-only program with the cast of Fox Business Morning and Money for Breakfast.[1]
The program, at the time of its cancellation, averaged less than 17,700 viewers according to unofficial estimates.[2]
