Dylan Ratigan is a journalist for the business TV channel CNBC, where he co-anchors the 3-4pm ET hour of the Closing Bell from a set overlooking the New York Stock Exchange (the same set used for Squawk on the Street), and hosts the nightly program, Fast Money (live from the NASDAQ MarketSite) at 5pm ET (and rerun at 8pm ET). Ratigan co-created and launched Fast Money with Susan Krakower.

Prior to the launch of Fast Money on June 21, 2006, Ratigan launched CNBC's On the Money, airing at the 7pm ET time slot. The program has grown to become the CNBC's flagship evening news show. He hosted the program from October 3, 2005 to January 2007, when he was replaced by Melissa Francis. That program is on indefinite hiatus and was replaced by Kudlow & Company in that time slot hosted by Larry Kudlow.

Also on CNBC, he anchored the TV program Bullseye for about 1 1/2 years before it was replaced by Jim Cramer's Mad Money on Monday, March 14, 2005. In addition to his current duties on Closing Bell and Fast Money, Ratigan is a rotating co-anchor on the 11am-noon hour of The Call.

Ratigan reported on NASCAR for the program NASCAR Gold and about Las Vegas for Las Vegas, Inc on CNBC on Assignment.

Before CNBC, Ratigan worked at Bloomberg Television as a business correspondent and at the Bloomberg News Service as Global Managing Editor for Corporate Finance, and before that had covered IPOs.

Ratigan is the host of CNBC's Fast Money MBA Challenge, where graduate students from America's top business schools compete in a trivia contest for a $200,000 scholarship.

Ratigan holds a Bachelor of Arts in political economics from Union College.
