For the rest of the week Fox Business Network's "Money for Breakfast" will be served up with a side order of McDonald's.

To wit: today through Friday, Fox Business Network's Alexis Glick will be conducting a three part interview with Joe Skinner, McDonald's Vice Chairman and CEO.

The interview, according to the press release, was filmed in one of McDonald’s "flagship" restaurants in Oak Brook, Illinois, and promises to touch upon a range of issues facing McDonald's, including branding, global expansion and the fast-food chain's "entry in the coffee wars."

The Fox Business Network announced today that it will be launching a new, hour-long morning show, called Opening Bell. The 9 AM show will debut, Monday Dec. 17. Alexis Glick—the winsome former New York City high school basketball star and erstwhile CNBC contributor, who currently co-hosts with Peter Barnes FBN's 6 AM to 9 AM Money for Breakfast—will anchor the new show.

According to today's press release, the show will focus "on the market, stock updates and major business headlines of the day."

Alexis Glick and Kevin Magee, Executive Vice President, FOX News, will be ringing NASDAQ's opening bell at 9:20 AM in celebration. (Watch it here. Scroll down.) Here's the inaugural schedule for ease of enjoyment:
