One thing it's probably not: The result of any direct competition from Fox Business Network or Bloomberg TV. FBN is still a non-player (on TV at least) with some 10,000 average viewers (compared to CNBC's average of 305,000). Bloomberg TV has more viewers than FBN, but doesn't come close to CNBC's 96 million-plus distribution.
Which is why CNBC can lose some of its younger audience, and still mint money. For a certain segment of advertisers, there's nowhere else to go. SNL Kagan says CNBC made $333 million (operating income, we believe) in 2007, making it NBC U's most-profitable cable network.
