(201).net, a local Web site that caters to Bergen County, NJ, has an article about
CNBC anchor Becky Quick. Quick co-anchors "Squawk Box" from 6 to 9 a.m. ET. This means she is at work around 4 a.m., catching up on all of the overnight news developments and, of course, filling up on caffeine. But Quick doesn't seem to mind the lifestyle:
The great thing about being on so early is that you get all the news as it hits the wires. My co-anchors, Joe Kernen and Carl Quintanilla, and I love that more than anything because we love getting the news live, while we're on the air, and trying to interpret exactly what it means, how to ask the best questions, so we can set the business agenda for the day. We need to tell people what they should be thinking about before the market even opens.
Quick said she has watched her 401(k) plummet in the last year and admitted that she did not even open her last statement. But Quick said it's still important to know what is happening with the markets and the economy. "Business news is more vital than ever," she said.
