Watch Duncan today on CNN, CNN.com

By: Ray Pellecchia
File Under: NYSE

My media-relations colleagues tell me that today around 10:30ish, CNN's Susan Lisovicz is scheduled to present a report about our equities market, including a taped interview with Duncan L. Niederauer, our new head of U.S. cash markets. I'm sure others will be interviewed as well.

I understand that only a portion of Duncan's comments will be in the aired report, and that a more complete look at the interview will run on CNN.com. I saw a rough transcript of the interview, and Duncan talks extensively about the value of the trading floor, the changes we're seeing today, and what he sees ahead. If even just a substantial portion of his comments run on TV or online, I think you'll find them an excellent take on where we are and where we're heading.

I'll be in meetings all morning but later today will look to post a link to the online version, and maybe a transcript.

Happy Thursday, folks. A little historical trivia for you:

Today in NYSE History
31 May 1873 -- Trading hours at the NYSE were set at 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. [Hey, before you start thinking that those hours would be kinda sweet today, remember: back then, we were open Saturdays, too. -- RP]

Ray, maybe you can post a link to his comments cause i just watched it and CNN basically cut him off and i thought CNN added a negative "spin" on the NYSE and the reduction of the floor traders. thanks

Tony -- Me, I thought the report gave us a fair shake. But I should have the link and a transcript of the complete interview posted later today. Thanks.
