In 1969, Registered Investment Advisor Eugene Inger joined Channel 22 and expanded financial television in Los Angeles with reporting, analysis and broader coverage. Inger extended the service to the San Francisco area in 1970 on <a href="/wiki/KOFY-TV" title="KOFY-TV">KOFY</a>, Channel 20. He also provided financial TV programming to <a href="/wiki/KDNL" class="mw-redirect" title="KDNL">KDNL</a> in <a href="/wiki/St._Louis" title="St. Louis">St. Louis</a> and pioneered <a href="/wiki/WKID-TV" class="mw-redirect" title="WKID-TV">WKID</a>, Channel 51, serving South Florida. During this time, FNN began programming on Channel 18 in Los Angeles, competing with Inger and KWHY. </p><p>In 1975, <a href="/wiki/Newark,_New_Jersey" title="Newark, New Jersey">Newark, New Jersey</a>–based WBTB-TV (later WWHT-TV, now <a href="/wiki/UniM%C3%A1s" title="UniMás">UniMás</a> owned-and-operated station <a href="/wiki/WFUT-DT" title="WFUT-DT">WFUT-DT</a>), an independent station owned at the time by Blonder-Tongue Broadcasting, was dark and not broadcasting. Eugene Inger revived the station by investing in Channel 68, which served the <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a> market. He served as General Manager and hosted a daily <a href="/wiki/Wall_Street" title="Wall Street">Wall Street</a> programming block on WBTB, titled <i>Stock Market Today</i> during market hours and <i>Wall Street Perspective</i> in the evening, beginning in the fall of 1975. Keith Houser, the station's assistant general manager, worked with vendors to facilitate the ticker tape crawl across the bottom of the screen, with a delay (mistakenly attributed as a two-hour delay in a <i><a href="/wiki/TV_Guide" title="TV Guide">TV Guide</a></i> reference), as was required at the time. The ticker ran across the <a href="/wiki/Lower_thirds" class="mw-redirect" title="Lower thirds">lower third</a> of the screen, with stock prices on the top (white) band and index prices on the bottom (blue) band. After the first year of programming, the SEC permitted just a twenty-minute delay.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The concept was well-established by WCIU in Chicago, KWHY in Los Angeles and Inger's day-long market coverage in <a href="/wiki/Miami" title="Miami">Miami</a>/<a href="/wiki/Fort_Lauderdale" class="mw-redirect" title="Fort Lauderdale">Fort Lauderdale</a>. Contrary to suggestions in <i>TV Guide</i>, the "specialty programming" did not encounter regulatory hurdles. Over the years, FNN grew its affiliates, generally not overlapping with Inger's targeted markets. However, Inger eventually "affiliated" with FNN through an arrangement that allowed him to take some programming and data feed from FNN while retaining local coverage and interviews hosted on his stations. The Chicago and Los Angeles stations evolved independently. </p><p>KWHY was the first television station on the West Coast to offer daily market news accompanied by a digital <a href="/wiki/Ticker_tape" title="Ticker tape">stock ticker</a> "crawl" at the bottom of the screen. It was followed by <a href="/wiki/WCIU-TV" title="WCIU-TV">WCIU</a> in Chicago, <a href="/wiki/KEMO-TV" title="KEMO-TV">KEMO</a> in San Francisco, and FNN on Los Angeles' Channel 18. This innovation allowed stock traders and investors to stay on top of market action without subscribing to an expensive stock quotation service. However, at that time, computers could not handle the full stock feed so the ticker could only display pre-selected stocks, making the system highly manual and cumbersome. (The first fully automated stock ticker to appear on television would not be developed until 1996, for the now-defunct <a href="/wiki/CNNfn" title="CNNfn">CNNfn</a>.) </p><p>Gene Inger's approach was simpler: he took a feed from <a href="/wiki/Reuters" title="Reuters">Reuters</a> or <a href="/wiki/UPI" class="mw-redirect" title="UPI">UPI</a> (both of which occasionally provided data feeds) and used a split-screen to display a camera shooting the tapes, with studio programming on the top portion. Inger was independent and never had a personal or corporate role with FNN, aside from a limited mutual program affiliation later. However, he became one of the original Market Maven contributors to CNBC, which eventually absorbed all financial programming over time. Years later, competition arose from <a href="/wiki/Bloomberg_Television" title="Bloomberg Television">Bloomberg Television</a> (which became the direct successor of FNN) and <a href="/wiki/Fox_Business_Channel" class="mw-redirect" title="Fox Business Channel">Fox Business Channel</a>. Inger continued to appear as a guest on CNBC for years and remains active as of 2024, providing daily <a href="/wiki/Market_analysis" title="Market analysis">market analysis</a> reports online through his daily market reflections on X (formerly Twitter) @stockseer. </p><p>With the earlier launch of <a href="/wiki/CNN" title="CNN">CNN</a> by <a href="/wiki/Ted_Turner" title="Ted Turner">Ted Turner</a> paving the way (Inger provided the original stock market commentary to Ted Turner’s <a href="/wiki/WTBS-TV" class="mw-redirect" title="WTBS-TV">WTBS</a> Channel 17 in Atlanta, <a href="/wiki/WCNC-TV" title="WCNC-TV">WRET-TV</a> [later WPCQ, now WCNC] in Charlotte and Hubbard’s Channel 44 in Tampa), and following a 1975 <i><a href="/wiki/TV_Guide" title="TV Guide">TV Guide</a></i> article about Gene Inger’s programming success in New York, Taylor and Buchser realized that newly available technology made it possible to combine KWHY/Inger-style live market reporting with on-screen quotes and the concept of national news via satellite. </p><p>FNN's early history was not highly profitable and within a few years, Buchser severed his relationship with the fledgling network to launch a financial marketing services firm called FMS Direct.

Matters became more complicated in March when FNN filed for <a href="/wiki/Chapter_11_bankruptcy" class="mw-redirect" title="Chapter 11 bankruptcy">Chapter 11 bankruptcy</a>, triggering a lively bidding war for the network. </p><p>Group W and Dow Jones raised their offer to $115 million but were turned down on a technicality by Bankruptcy Court Judge Francis Conrad. Dow Jones and Group W refused to keep the bidding open until May 31, 1991. NBC then raised its offer to $115 million, which was accepted by Conrad. However, that decision was overturned on appeal. </p><p>Group W/Dow Jones and CNBC both significantly raised their bids. Group W/Dow Jones offered $167 million, while CNBC offered $154 million. However, the CNBC bid included more cash, whereas the Dow Jones/Group W bid included payments tied to revenue targets over three years. Conrad awarded FNN to CNBC, considering its offer to be more realistic. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Closure">Closure</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Financial_News_Network&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Closure"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>FNN ceased operations at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 21, 1991.
