Brian Sullivan Will Anchor CNBC’s New 7PM Show, ‘Last Call’

CNBC is making a new bid to stay open after the stock market is closed.

Brian Sullivan. anchor of the early-morning “Worldwide Exchange,” gets to trade in an early wake-up for a late-evening perch at “Last Call,” CNBC’s newest attempt to extend its business journalism into the early evening. Sullivan’s show will replace “The News,” a vehicle for former Fox News anchor Shepard Smith that was cancelled last year.

“‘Last Call’ is a fast-paced, entertaining business show that explores the intersection of money, culture and policy. Through panels, debates and newsmakers,” said CNBC President KC Sullivan in a memo to staff. “‘Last Call’ will not only deliver fresh takes on the biggest business topics of the day, but also shine a light on the other important stories that our viewers may have missed, all with an eye on what’s going to matter to the markets the next day.”

CNBC has offered a few post-market hours of news, but is better known for showing documentary and unscripted programs such as “The Profit” along with reruns of “Shark Tank.”
