CNBC anchor Carl Quintanilla spoke with Oliver Darcy of Status about covering CEOs and how he feels about the network being spun off into a new company.
I can’t let you go without asking about SpinCo. What do you think the future is for the new company? In the end, will most of the cable assets eventually merge into one super company to achieve the scale necessary to compete?
The “super company” thing is a great parlor game. I don’t know. I’m personally psyched because, selfishly, the CNBC brand gets more “juice,” more freedom to refine the brand and manage our own destiny. I’ll miss 30 Rock, though. I spent years as an NBC correspondent working for “Today” and “Nightly News” and going to work in that building never got old.
