CNBC's Dennis Kneale Should Host His Own Program and Really Tick Off His Critics!
Memo: Roger Ailes, Fox Business News and Mark Hoffman, CNBC
Although Dennis started out with media and technology as his core beats, he's expanded that role significantly -- and now is a go-to commentator on every variety of business and economic story from early morning to late night. He's often showing up on Kudlow & Company and periodically hosts the show when Larry is off.

Subject: What Are You Guys Waiting For?
Perhaps the two of you über news craftsmen didn't get the memo, so I'm resending it. Step up and give Dennis Kneale, currently Media and Technology Editor at CNBC, his own show.
Dennis is bright, funny, telegenic (he's gotten better having traveled from the print world) and enthusiastic. He used to be managing editor at savvy Forbes and before that was a top editor at The Wall Street Journal. So he's not only entertaining, he knows business and financial news.
When Dennis joined CNBC in October 2007, Jonathan Wald, CNBC senior vice president for business news, said it himself: "He's one of the best connected journalists in the business."
Although Dennis started out with media and technology as his core beats, he's expanded that role significantly -- and now is a go-to commentator on every variety of business and economic story from early morning to late night. He's often showing up on Kudlow & Company and periodically hosts the show when Larry is off. Dennis gets it wrong sometimes and he gets it right a whole lot of the time. Is that any different than Jim 'Mad Money' Cramer? What I like so much about Dennis are his reportorial skills and his willingness to bare-knuckle fight with anyone and everyone who disagrees with him. CEOs and other reporters get no slack from Dennis.
When Dennis used to show up regularly on Forbes on Fox, he was impossible not to watch. Just the kind of host television networks covet.
I suspect the question of whether or not to place a bet on Dennis has crossed both your minds. Perhaps you think he needs a little bit more on-camera seasoning. Perhaps. But having watched the best and the worst on both your respected networks, I am convinced that Dennis is already closer to the top than the bottom.
So get with it gentlemen. One of you needs to give Dennis his own show. And I'd say better hurry. Business news is not the only venue where Dennis could thrive. The other news networks, without a doubt, could use a journalist of Dennis' caliber, too.
CNBC's Dennis Kneale Moderates High-Level Panel of Media & Entertainment Executives

Kneale's panel included Peter Chernin, president and chief operating officer, News Corporation; Robert Kotick, chairman and CEO, Activision Inc.; Terry Semel, former Chairman and CEO, Yahoo! Inc.; and Mark Thompson, director-general, British Broadcasting Company.
Kneale's style mixes humor and persistence. He is willing to return repeatedly to the same executive with the same question if he feels the executive didn't answer fully or straightforwardly. All of the executives appears to be very familiar with Kneale and clearly on a first-name, casual basis with the journalist.
A full audio of the panel, Media and Entertainment: Consequences of the Digital Revolution, can be heard on the Milken Institute web site.
Kneale, who joined CNBC in October 2007, has been a regular moderator at the Milken Institute annual conference for a number of years. His sessions are always well-attended and lively.
