Yahoo has long had visions of owning a successful live finance video show. They launched Finance Vision in March 2000, a streaming finance news show that was closed down in June 2002 (here’s the first show, and here’s the last show).

More recently, it is rumored that ex-Yahooer Lloyd Braun personally championed a streaming news site that would be hosted by puppets (I’m not kidding). Thankfully, the show was shot down by someone, or everyone, before it could actually launch.

But the goal of having a popular online finance video show hasn’t died. And technology and user interfaces have evolved significantly since 2002, making the idea more realistic. Yahoo thinks a variation on Finance Vision can now be successful, we hear. Early rumors about the new show were mostly right, but two sources have now confirmed many of the details to us, and added a lot more information.
