The original CNBC channel was launched in Fort Lee, New Jersey, on April 17, 1989. It then merged in 1991 with the Financial News Network (FNN), and the name "Consumer News and Business Channel" was dropped, so just the name "CNBC" is used since then. Both Sue Herera and Ted David are original anchors at CNBC and remain on the air there. Some reporters from FNN joined CNBC, like Ron Insana, Bill Griffeth, Joe Kernen and Jerry Cobb. At first, the network's business programming was named "CNBC/FNN", but that was dropped in the mid-90's.
