Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Joins New Fox Business Channel
Carly Fiorina, the former CEO of computer and printer maker Hewlett- Packard Co., has signed on as a contributor with Fox News’ soon-to- launch business news channel, the media company announced Tuesday.
Fiorina had a reputation as one of corporate America’s most divisive figures during nearly six years at Palo Alto-based HP. Her role at the new channel is not clear, but the new business channel is expected to officially launch next week.
“We are proud to have her join FBN as a contributor,” Kevin Magee, Fox News’ executive vice president, said in a statement. “Carly Fiorina is one of the foremost business leaders of our time.”
HP severed its ties with Fiorina in February 2005 amid complaints that her hard fought acquisition of Compaq Computer Corp. by HP wasn’t proving beneficial to the company.
Her firing netted Fiorina a severance package of more than $21 million and helped fuel the publication last year of her best-selling memoir, “Tough Choices.”
Fox News, an arm of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. media conglomerate, is looking to shake up the business news industry with the Fox Business Channel, slated to launch Oct. 15 in about 34 million homes as a competitor to CNBC, which is owned by General Electric Co.’s NBC Universal unit.

Dear Sir,
I have been trying since 12/17/08 to get a replacement printer for my malfunctioning C6280 PhotoSmarl All-in-One. Been one the phone with the help desk with 2 differemnt support agent ande their manager requested I fax proof of infor to to Proof of Purchase Team and I did so when I got off the phone. The orginal receipt, ticket number 8019494838 12/17/08 CST 20:29 with credit card information name address and phone number and to call the next day to see if you all received it. I call 12/18/08 and they said they have not received the fax and there were a lot of them to go thru. Called everyday till Christmas. 12/26/08 I repeate4d the fax information to no avail. I was told I was to receive a new printer with a return lable and to place the malfunctioning one in the box and send it back to HP. Then I started getting e-mails frm Samara and Jasmine and was finally told it was sent to the concern department and I would hear from them. Still nothing. My printer is still under warranty and I feel I am being treated very poorly. I also sent all the documents via UPS 12/29/08 which cost me $22.00 to 3000 Hanover Street Palo Alto, CA94304-1185. Please, please resolve this matter and send me a new computer as I am still under warranty.
