style of FNN as well as incorporated features of FNN's ticker into its own on-screen stock ticker. While most of FNN's employees were laid off as a consequence of the merger (and eventually hired by Bloomberg L.P. to become the employees of Bloomberg Television which was launched three years later and took over FNN's channel space), a select number of FNN anchors and reporters (including Bill Griffeth, Ron Insana, Allan Chernoff and Joe Kernen) were retained by CNBC. (Sue Herera, who joined FNN at age 21 and very soon became an anchor, moved to NBC and the brand-new CNBC prior to the demise of FNN; Griffeth and Herera were later reunited at CNBC and co-anchored Power Lunch until 2011.)(Note: original pioneer Gene Inger did not become involved with FNN beyond affiliation on his stations; and did become an 'original Market Maven' frequent guest on CNBC. Inger declined staying with CNBC, having semi-retired to Florida; and remained a guest -usually with Mark Haines or Bill Griffeth- including the first remote fiber uplink to 30 Roc commentaries from Fort Lauderdale to CNBC. As of 2022 Inger continues to provide online daily market analysis.)
