Originally airing as a one-hour program, Fox Business Morning expanded to two hours on May 12, 2008. The second hour of this program replaced the first hour of Money for Breakfast, which in turn, contracted to two hours. Fox Business Morning once again contracted to 1 hour on October 5, 2009 to make way for Imus in the Morning. The show was canceled May 7, 2010 and was replaced by a Best of Imus in the Morning hour at 5am ET, an hour before the live Imus broadcast at 6am ET.[1] A similar early-morning business program, FBN:AM (co-anchored by Casone and Lauren Simonetti), debuted June 1, 2015 after Imus in the Morning ended its run on the network at the end of May of that year.

Format

This early morning program began with a look at the overnight headlines, along with a review of the Asian stock markets and a look at ongoing trading on the European markets from Ashley Webster, who is the network's London-based correspondent and overseas markets editor. In addition, this program also previewed the U.S. business day, including that day's corporate and economic diaries.

gollark: <@151391317740486657> Windows is not likely the best option.
gollark: Oh, never mind, Apollo Lake does.
gollark: I don't know if any new ones actually have clocks that low...
gollark: As I said, big usability improvement. You don't really get more gaming performance, but boot times go way down as does program loading time.
