Dennis Kneale Still at CNBC

CNBC's Dennis Kneale denied rumors this morning that he was fired.

hello fans-friends&followers! in the immortal words of steve mcqueen in closing shot of "papillon": "i'm still here, you bastards."

Dennis Kneale added: "to the blogs: reports of my demise are once again premature--but thanks for all the bits!"

"Business Insider" says
On Thursday evening, Jeff Bercovici of AOL Daily Finance reported that Kneale, who is CNBC's tech and media editor, was set to exit the network because executives are "unwilling to re-up him at anything close to his current salary, believed to be around $500,000 a year."

Kneale's contract is up on October 15, three years after his 2007 start date. We hear CNBC has made Kneale an offer to stay and that there's a possibility he will remain at the network. Negotiations like these often go down to the wire.

"I don't comment on contract status. Dennis is currently under contract at CNBC," said Brian Steel, a spokesman for the network.

If CNBC is paying Kneale anywhere near $500,000 a year, then I can see why GE (chart and quote) wants to unload CNBC on Comcast!
