\n\tCNBC<\/a> heads toward market close with a new executive about to come on board to manage its editorial ups and downs.<\/p>\n

\n\tDavid Cho, formerly the top editorial executive at News Corp.\u2019s Barron\u2019s, will join the business-news outlet August 11 as its editor in chief, replacing both Dan Colarusso, senior vice president of CNBC\u2019s business newsgathering and Jay Yarow, the executive editor of CNBC.com. The switch takes place as CNBC is about to be spun off with most of the other cable assets of NBCUniversal into a new company called Versant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDavid\u2019s appointment as Editor-in-Chief marks an important evolution for CNBC as we unify editorial efforts across every platform,\u201d said KC Sullivan, president of CNBC, in a statement. \u201cWith his deep expertise in business journalism and a strong track record as a strategic leader, David is uniquely positioned to guide our newsroom into the future. Under his leadership, we\u2019ll continue to elevate the trust and clarity that define CNBC\u2019s essential content \u2013 meeting our audience wherever they are with the authority and depth they expect.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new hire will serve to break down any silos between CNBC\u2019s TV and online editorial operations. Cho will have oversight of all editorial staffers.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlong with his duties at Barron\u2019s, Cho also oversaw editorial content for publications including \u00a0MarketWatch,\u00a0Investor\u2019s Business Daily\u00a0and\u00a0Financial News London. He was previously business editor at The Washington Post and has also worked for The Star-Ledger,\u00a0The Philadelphia Inquirer\u00a0and\u00a0The Korea Herald.<\/p>\n

\n\tUnder Sullivan, CNBC has shed some of the glitzier programming it once featured in favor of content aimed at the stocks-and-bonds die-hards who come to it for the latest on the vicissitudes of the markets. In recent months, CNBC has launched a streaming product that makes both its U.S. and overseas programming available to subscribers and assigned one of its top producers to oversee the creation of new \u201cverticals,\u201d<\/a> such wealth, women\u2019s leadership and the business of sports.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere is reason to till new ground. The unit\u2019s flagship cable network is projected to see ad dollars fall 6.5% in 2025, when market-research firm Kagan, a unit of S&P Global Intelligence, estimates gross advertising revenue will dip to $197.5 million, compared with $211.4 million in 2024. Subscribers, meanwhile, are estimated to fall nearly 5% next year, to 59.6 million from 62.7 million.<\/p>\n

\n\tColarusso has been with CNBC in the top editorial since 2019, after logging stints at Reuters and Bloomberg. Yarow had been executive editor at Business Insider before joining CNBC in 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CNBC heads toward market close with a new executive about to come on board to manage its editorial…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17445,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[3331,88,92,16352],"class_list":["post-17444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-cnbc","tag-entertainment","tag-tv","tag-versant"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17444"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17444\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
