CNBC Expanding Biz Day Programming Into Primetime; 'Dennis Miller' Cancelled; New 7pm Program To Premiere In Q3
There are three headlines in the memo below, which was sent to CNBC employees at 5:02pm today.

> CNBC's 9pm talk show Dennis Miller will cease to exist on Friday, May 13. A repeat of Mad Money will air in its place.

> CNBC is expanding its Business Day programming: A new business program -- details TBA -- will premiere at 7pm sometime in Q3.

> Business-related programming will air on CNBC up until 10pm ET/7pm PT, so people across the country will have access to business news during their business day -- a significant shift from the "work hard, play hard" philosophy of airing Conan repeats at 7pm ET.

Solid show concept had some great stuff. Will miss it on our TIVO. RIP.

I miss it. It was great to see a former liberal come to his senses and see the correct side of things. He is a genious when it comes to humor!

Cancellation on this was long overdue. Wonder what next wave of public fear this parasite will try to ride. Hope it's just a dog food commercial.

Just saw him on a NetZero commercial the other day, so there you go. Getting cancelled by CNBC is like getting kicked out of a Denny's. It's a shame -- he was funny before 9/11, but got wacko like Ron Silver.

I just heard some of his standup...he said he's glad the Bush could finally allow him to respect the presidency again. wow.

are all neo-con republicans this retarded? Seems likely.

RIP, Ron Silver. He was a great actor & a caring human being.
He was still as liberal as ever, except on one point---9/11--which he was very vocal about. Even liberals disagree on some things. He didn't suddenly become a social & fiscal conservative. Prior to his death, in fact, he was sounding less strident.
The difference was, that Ron didn't need to be funny. He was, to the end, a great actor & an intelligent man. Miller WAS a great comedian. He's still intelligent, but not funny. Silver retained his gift. Miller did not.
