History
On the Money, which originally started as a nightly business news program, premiered as "Hurricane Katrina: Crisis and Recovery" (which was hosted by Bill Griffeth) on August 29, 2005, replacing reruns of Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Five weeks later (October 5), the show rechristened as On the Money. Dylan Ratigan, who previously hosted Bullseye (which ended its run on March 11 of that year), was given the hosting duties for the latter as well.
On July 6, 2006, On the Money debuted a new look, which included the program's second logo, a new set, and new graphics. The entire graphics package was designed and redesigned in house at CNBC. Gary Keenan and by Felix Thoo of Creative Group, a post production house in NYC created some promotional work for a prior version of the graphics.
Ratigan, who was the original host of this program since 2005-10-03, left the show in December 2006 in preparation for his nightly hosting duties on Fast Money, which redebuted as a nightly series on January 8, 2007. He was replaced on that same night by Melissa Francis. The original version of On the Money ended its run on October 5, 2007.
On the Money was completely revamped and relaunched as a personal finance program August 4, 2008 with new host Carmen Wong Ulrich. The show is now more focused on providing specific personal finance information to its audience. Viewers can call in, text, or email Carmen with their problems, and each night, Carmen will go through them individually. On The Money also invites a variety of "Money Experts" to join Carmen on the show and assist her in finding the solutions to her viewers' problems and concerns.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
