CNBC is filling the 7 PM ET hour with Last Call, a business show that will be anchored by Brian Sullivan and explore money, culture and policy.
The new show occupies the old time slot of The News with Shepard Smith, the newscast that was canceled in November. CNBC President KC Sullivan, who wants the network to focus on its core area of business and financial news, announced the new show in a memo to staff, along with a series of other changes to the CNBC lineup. “Through panels, debates and newsmakers, Last Call will not only deliver fresh takes on the biggest business topics of the day, but also shine a light on the other important stories that our viewers may have missed, all with an eye on what’s going to matter to the markets the next day,” he wrote.
He also said that the network would produce more documentaries and specials in primetime, when the network runs reality shows like Shark Tank, Undercover Boss and American Greed.
Among the other changes: Sara Eisen will move from Closing Bell to co-anchor the 10 AM ET hour of Squawk on the Street, joining Carl Quintanilla and David Faber.
