Yahoo! (YHOO) Starting Online Competition For CNBC And Fox Business

Word is that Yahoo! (YHOO) Finance will begin an online business show which will compete with cable channels CNBC and Fox Business.

According to TechCruch the show, to be called TechTicker, will go live in January with four hosts.

The show will have up to 20 original pieces per weekday, but look for that to rise if the audience is good. The CPMs for video programming are higher than display, so Yahoo! hopes to cash in on the trend to improve income at Yahoo! Finance.
