Revision as of 18:41, 15 July 2006 by 82.12.114.155 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)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. Other CNBC Asia anchors and correspondents include Keith Liu (Tech Anchor), Sabrina Kang (Correspondent), Lisa Oake (Asia Market Week Anchor & Correspondent), Fauziah Ibrahim (News Reader & Correspondent), Sri Jegarajah (Correspondent), Maura Fogarty (Correspondent), Betty Liu (Hong Kong Correspondent), Jane Ong (Hong Kong Correspondent), Kaori Enjoji (Tokyo Correspondent) and Cheng Lei (Shanghai Correspondent).
CNBC Europe programming can be seen on CNBC Asia from noon to 5 p.m.; while CNBC US 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),
Formerly 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.
