CNBC
CNBC (Consumer News and Business Channel) is a cable and satellite television news channel operated in the United States by the National Broadcasting Company (NBC). Launched on April 17, 1989, it provides business news programming from 5am to 7pm eastern time, and talk shows from 7pm until midnight eastern time.
Broadcasts
Its major business news programs are Wake Up Call, CNBC Squawk Box with Mark Haines, Morning Call, Power Lunch, Closing Bell, and Bullseye. Evening programs include Kudlow and Cramer, Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street, and Capital Report, Dennis Miller, and McEnroe. Star anchors include Mark Haines, Joe Kernan, Ted David, Bill Griffith, Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, Maria Bartiromo, Tyler Mathison, Ron Insana, and Sue Herrera.
A rolling ticker and stack (called the "bug") provide real-time updates on share prices and market indicies. In the past, Phil Donahue, Tom Snyder, John McLaughlin, Charles Grodin and Morton Downey, Jr. all hosted CNBC shows.
In 2003, CNBC moved to a brand-new headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. This building was the first building NBC has ever built for the specific use of broadcasting. The new headquarters uses completely digital video production.
International versions
Outside of the United States, CNBC is operated as a joint venture between NBC and Dow Jones & Company. They operate CNBC Europe from London, and CNBC Asia from Hong Kong and Singapore. A number of local CNBC services also exist, including versions in Japanese (Nikkei-CNBC) and Turkish (CNBC-e). The international CNBC services provide the same type of programming as CNBC US during the business day, and rebroadcast CNBC US' major business programmes. In the U.S., CNBC Europe and CNBC Asia programming can be seen on the cable channel Dutch-based English language pirate radio station - the Commercial Neutral Broadcasting Company.
