CNBC Asia is a business news channel in Asia. A subsidiary of NBC Universal, it is the Asian service of Consumer News and Business Channel (CNBC). It is broadcast from Singapore and Hong Kong.

Programming

The channel's major business day programmes are:

SIN/HK Program Hosts
6am-9am Asia Squawk Box Martin Soong
9am-12pm Asia Market Watch Amanda Drury
5pm-7pm Worldwide Exchange Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, Ross Westgate, Christine Tan

CNBC Asia runs a ticker providing information from major Asian stock exchanges, as well as US and Europe recaps, on screen during business day programmes. CNBC Asia's on-air look is similar to that used by CNBC US prior to 19 December 2005, using much the same graphics and music package. This is in contrast to CNBC Europe, which designed much of its own on-air look.

CNBC Europe programming can be seen on CNBC Asia from 12 noon to 5 p.m.; while CNBC programming can be seen overnight.

Other CNBC Asia Pacific services

CNBC Asia Pacific provides the following opt-out services, which largely broadcast the same programmes as CNBC Asia, but provide a local ticker and some opt-out programming:

  • CNBC Singapore
  • CNBC Hong Kong,
  • CNBC Australia.

In conjunction with local partners it provides the following local services:

  • CNBC-TV18 (formerly CNBC India),
  • Nikkei-CNBC (in Japan),

Formally MBN-CNBC was also provided in Korea. However CNBC and MBN agreed to dissolve their partnership in May 2005, and CNBC is now looking for another local partner in Korea.

In July 2005, it was announced that NBC Universal would take full control of CNBC Asia from 31 December 2005, subject to clearance. The channel name reverted from "CNBC Asia - A Service of NBC Universal and Dow Jones" to simply "CNBC Asia" on 1 January 2006.
