Mark Haines (April 19, 1946 – May 24, 2011) was a host on the CNBC television network.

Early life and education

Haines grew up in Oyster Bay, New York, and resided in Monmouth County, New Jersey.[1] 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.

Career

Haines was a news anchor for KYW-TV in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; WABC-TV in New York City; and WPRI-TV in Providence, Rhode Island. It is reported that Cary Grant considered Haines his favorite television reporter.[2]

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 . 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.

Haines' longtime co-anchor on Squawk on the Street was Erin Burnett. On May 6, 2011, just weeks before Haines died, she moved on to CNN. With the loss of both prior hosts, Simon Hobbs & Melissa Lee filled in as co-anchors.

Death

On May 25, 2011, Haines' wife Cindy reported that he had died at home in Marlboro, New Jersey, on the evening of May 24. He is survived by his wife, a son, and a daughter.[3] He died of congestive heart failure due to cardiomegaly.[4]

Just after the market opened on May 25, CNBC broadcast that Haines had died the previous evening. There was silence on the NYSE trading floor and CNBC presented a retrospective on his life and career.[5] A special television program about his life and career aired on CNBC that evening.[6]
