The News Corp-owned cable business news rival of General Electric Co's CNBC wants to be the business news source for "Main Street" compared with CNBC's perceived focus on "Wall Street," News Corp's Rupert Murdoch said this week.

Ramsey is the host of "The Dave Ramsey Show," which has aired for more than 15 years and is heard on over 325 radio stations in the United States, averaging more than 3 million weekly listeners. Ramsey will continue to host the radio show.

"Our prime-time format will offer a new opportunity for Americans to benefit from Ramsey's practical financial advice," said Kevin Magee, executive vice president of Fox News, in a statement.
