History[edit]
MarketWatch formerly operated in partnership with CBS News. The Financial Times was a financial partner and investor in the original MarketWatch. Dow Jones acquired it in January 2005 for $530 million and News Corp. acquired Dow Jones two years later.
MarketWatch was founded by Larry Kramer and others, including Bill Bishop in business development and Thom Calandra, formerly of Bloomberg London, in editorial, in 1997. MaketWatch was incubated at Data Broadcasting Corp., a San Mateo, California, company that owned distribution rights for financial information. Kramer hired David Callaway as the site’s managing editor from Bloomberg two years later. MarketWatch created CBS MarketWatch Weekend, a regular financial television show broadcast across North America on CBS affiliate stations.
