Bob Pisani to Step Away from CNBC After 30-Year Career

New York, NY – Bob Pisani, the longtime senior markets correspondent at CNBC, will conclude his day-to-day reporting duties after over 30 years with the network. His last broadcast from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange is scheduled for May 9.

Despite his departure from daily reporting, Pisani will not be leaving CNBC entirely. The network announced that he will return later this year in a contributor role for CNBC Pro, its subscription-based platform aimed at professional investors.

“Bob has been more than just a colleague over the last three decades – he’s been a constant presence, a trusted voice and a defining figure in our coverage,” said Dan Colarusso, CNBC’s senior vice president of Business News, in a memo to staff.

Pisani joined CNBC in 1990 and became its on-air stocks editor in 1997, making him one of the most recognizable faces in financial journalism. Known for his calm demeanor, sharp wit, and in-depth reporting, he has earned respect as a reliable interpreter of market movements and investor sentiment.

In 2022, Pisani published a book detailing his experiences covering Wall Street, sharing personal anecdotes and practical advice. His departure arrives as CNBC prepares to spin off from parent company Comcast later this year, with the new entity named Versant.

Versant will include various media assets from Comcast, such as CNBC, MSNBC, and USA, along with digital platforms like Fandango. The Roberts family, Comcast’s founding family, will maintain control of both companies. CNBC did not provide additional comments on the situation.
