Mark Haines (April 19, 1946 – May 24, 2011) was a host on the CNBC television network.
Haines grew up in Oyster Bay, New York, and resided in Monmouth County, New Jersey. His alma mater was Denison University, and in 1989, the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He was a member of the New Jersey bar association.
Haines was a news anchor for KYW-TV in Philadelphia; WABC-TV in New York; and WPRI-TV in Providence. While at WPRO-AM in Providence, Haines took part in a 1974 reenactment of the War of the Worlds radio broadcast.[1] It is reported that Cary Grant considered Haines his favorite television reporter.
In 1989, Haines joined the newly created CNBC network. Haines was the host of the CNBC TV shows Squawk Box and Squawk on the Street. Haines was on the air when news of the September 11 attacks first broke in 2001 [2]. Squawk on the Street was expanded from one hour to two on July 19, 2007, when co-anchor Liz Claman of Morning Call left to co-anchor Fox Business on the Fox Business Network. Haines also presented a financial segment prior to the market open each day on MSNBC's Morning Joe.
