TheStreet.com lures producer away from CNBC
Bill McCandless, a former senior producer at CNBC, has joined TheStreet.com as executive editor of multimedia.
The role is an executive level position that was created as part of TheStreet.com’s initiative to expand its multimedia offerings across its network of properties.
As executive editor, McCandless will oversee all of TheStreet.com’s multimedia initiatives, including creating new programs and shows, as well as developing and implementing its multimedia strategy.
“Bill is the ultimate professional and a maverick at developing business television programming that viewers want to see,” said David J. Morrow, the editor-in-chief of TheStreet.com. “I am thrilled at having him join TheStreet.com as our first executive editor of multimedia. The Company is focused on making our multimedia offerings the best available on the Web. Bill is the executive to make that happen.”
Most recently, McCandless was a developer and senior producer of ‘On The Money,’ an hour-long show, which grew rapidly in popularity and now airs weeknights on CNBC. Prior to that, McCandless produced programs for CNBC daytime as well as the ‘Early Today’ show for the NBC network and was a senior broadcast producer for MSNBC where he was responsible for all breaking news and daily coverage.
