Miller axed at CNBC

A Yahoo news story says that Dennis Miller and the show named after him “will tape its final episode Friday in Burbank, leaving CNBC with a prime-time slot likely to be filled by a new business-themed program in the third quarter of this year.” CNBC president Mark Hoffman emailed the bad news to employees Wednesday and acknowledged that

…Miller would be a casualty of CNBC’s decision to shore up its business audience in the memo.

“I have spoken with Dennis Miller about these plans and he has let me know that his strong preference is to leave his program immediately.”
