The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that after 15 years at Business News Network, anchor Amber Kanwar is taking the leap: She is going out on her own, with an investing podcast. The Globe's Tim Kiladze writes that starting this week, Ms. Kanwar, who left BNN in November, will host a twice-weekly show called "In the Money with Amber Kanwar." The program will be available in an audio-only format, but will also be recorded on camera and posted on YouTube. The format: Hour-long interviews with portfolio managers and investing experts who will talk about stocks they love and hate. It is not all that different from what Ms. Kanwar was doing at BNN. The channel's lunch hour has long been filled with portfolio managers who opine on the markets -- and viewers tune in religiously. "They want ideas. Actionable ideas. Mostly about individual stocks," she told The Globe. One of the biggest trends in the podcast world has been a convergence with video. This trend is catching on so quickly that some media consultants predict the format will soon replace the cable TV model. Cord cutting is hitting cable companies hard, and the trend is one of the reasons BCE, which owns BNN, saw its stock slide 36 per cent in 2024.
