NBCUniversal’s CNBC has canceled “The News with Shepard Smith,” its primetime general news show, to refocus on business and market coverage.

The network announced the news Thursday in an e-mail to CNBC employees. Smith will be leaving the network later this month, according to a person familiar with the matter. CNBC will replace Smith’s primetime show with markets coverage until a new live show focusing on business news launches in 2023.

“After spending time with many of you and closely reviewing the various aspects of our business, I believe we must prioritize and focus on our core strengths of business news and personal finance,” CNBC President KC Sullivan said in an e-mail to CNBC employees. “As a result of this strategic alignment to our core business, we will need to shift some of our priorities and resources and make some difficult decisions.”

Right - seems something else would be a reason...he’s almost certainly capable of reading copy about business focused news stories instead of what he was doing if “refocusing” on business news was their vision.
