NEW YORK - Erin Burnett, one of CNBC's most visible personalities, is jumping to CNN.

The news network announced Friday that it had signed Burnett to host a general news program that will appear sometime after she arrives at CNN in June. The format and time slot have not been determined, said Ken Jautz, CNN executive vice president.

Burnett is currently on the air for three hours during business days at CNBC, first as co-anchor with Mark Haines on "Squawk on the Street" from 9 to 11 a.m., then on her own "Street Signs" from 2 to 3 p.m. She also makes appearances on many NBC News programs, like "Today," ''Meet the Press" and "Nightly News."

"Erin Burnett is a rising star and she is a proven expert in her field," Jautz said. "She's grounded in business but not limited to business. She'll be a great addition to CNN."

CNBC can only improve with this news. Couldn’t stand her. And, IIRC, an outspoken lefty.

Who? Never heard of her.

Haven’t watched CNBC for a few years. I do recall what a B**** that woman was.

BIG mistake to move to CNN. They must have offered her a whole lot of devalued American dollars.

Otherwise, she’s a pill, and a true Obama supporter.

Accidenti!(that’s “ugh” in Italian).

Not guilty.

CNN management has apparently decided they weren’t sinking fast enough.

...as well as a proud member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)...

I couldn’t stand her school girl giggling/laughing whenever she tried to make a joke about Cheeto’s or Haines underwear and stopped watching CNBC between 9-11 and 2-3 when she was on the air.

Definitely a positive for CNBC.

Boy. Looking at that picture, you can almost hear the wind whistling through her ears.

Probably has to do with her having to carry dumbass Liberal Mark Hanes' water for years...She's not a straight conservative, but she does have some common sense.

I would not have hit it even in my younger days.

[bigjoesaddle]

I guess this is fake.....so what.

[shove_it]

A fake for sure. Her boobs ain’t that big.
