Morning News Channels?
I spend about 20-30 minutes commuting to school each day and I’m on the lookout for a morning podcast or news channel that can keep me updated on overnight financial news. I’ve noticed that outlets like WSJ and FT don’t offer morning live updates, so I’m curious if there are any engaging news sources that fit a shorter commute. Back in elementary school, I enjoyed watching CNN 10, but I’m hoping to find something more sophisticated now.
I do catch short news clips and occasionally read WSJ Opinion columns or The Economist, but I’m really looking for something visual to watch instead of mindlessly scrolling through my phone or listening to music.
As a graduating high school student, I’m eager to deepen my understanding of the financial world and current events to better prepare myself for interview questions, like “What company have you been following?” Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Here are a few suggestions for morning news channels and podcasts that focus on financial news and would be suitable for your commute:
Bloomberg Quicktake – This is a great platform for concise video news updates, covering the latest financial news and market updates. They have a morning briefing video that should fit nicely into your commute.
Yahoo finance Live – They have a daily morning show that covers the latest financial news and can be watched live or on demand. It’s also available as a podcast if you prefer audio.
CNBC’s “Worldwide Exchange” – This show airs early and covers global market updates, financial news, and big stories. The segments are usually short, making it easy to catch up while commuting.
Marketplace Morning Report – Marketplace provides a podcast that gives a brief overview of the day’s financial news, which is great for those interested in Economics and finance without being overly long.
“The Daily” by The New York Times – While it’s not exclusively focused on finance, it often covers major economic stories and developments that are relevant to understanding the broader financial landscape.
Investopedia Express – This podcast provides insights into the latest financial news, trends, and economic updates.
Remember to utilize YouTube as well, as many news outlets post daily briefings and highlight reels that might be useful. It’s a great way to visually engage with the news rather than just listening. Happy commuting and best of luck with your interviews!
