"Russert" Moves From CNBC To MSNBC

Tim Russert's weekend talker is moving from CNBC to MSNBC.

The move comes as the business channel prepares to do head-to-head battle with Fox Business Network for the hearts and minds of Wall Street and Main Street. Its cable-news sibling is trying to shore up its reputation as the go-to place for politics.

Russert, who is moderator of "Meet the Press" and NBC's top dog in Washington, doesn't just interview politicians and journalists on "Tim Russert." He has in the past interviewed everyone from President Bush and first lady Laura Bush to Tom Hanks, Caroline Kennedy and Derek Jeter.
