Fox Business Network, which launched in 2007, does for business news what Fox News Channel does for news. It provides a definitive right-wing perspective, with personality-driven shows.
One of the network’s biggest stars, Lou Dobbs, is considered a close confidante of President Donald Trump, making him particularly popular with the MAGA crowd.
One example of how close: On March 13, 2020, a volatile, coronavirus-affected stock market made a big one-day recovery that coincided with a presidential press conference on the crisis featuring a number of corporate leaders. According to a Mediaite article, Trump took credit, signed a printed-out chart of the day’s gains, and gave it to Dobbs, who then featured the signed chart on his show that evening.
In addition to Dobbs, Fox Business Network is home to veteran business journalist Neil Cavuto, popular morning anchor Maria Bartiromo, longtime Fox fixture Stuart Varney, and former MTV VJ Kennedy, who has been a part of the business channel’s lineup since 2012.
It’s a staple of six major streaming services, and it’s also available to Roku users. Here’s how to get the hook-up.
