When Warren Buffett kicks off Berkshire Hathaway 's annual shareholder meeting on Saturday, the absence of Charlie Munger will be on everyone's mind.
The annual meeting will be exclusively broadcast on CNBC and livestreamed on CNBC.com.
For the first time, Berkshire will broadcast its annual meeting movie that had previously always been reserved only for those in attendance in Omaha.
Vice Chairman of Non-Insurance Operations Greg Abel, Buffett's designated successor, will fill Munger's seat in the afternoon session, helping answer shareholder questions.
"The tone of the meeting is certainly going to be a lot different without Charlie," said Steve Check, CEO of Check Capital Management and a longtime Berkshire shareholder.
