A subsidiary of [[NBC Universal]], it is the [[Asia]]n service of the Consumer News and Business Channel ([[CNBC]]). Its programmes originate out of from [[Singapore]] and Sydney and has bureaus in Tokyo and Hong Kong. ==History== ===1995-1997: Pre-ABN Merger=== CNBC Asia was launched in 1995 along with sister channel NBC Asia. It was originally based in Hong Kong. Anchors such as [[Rico Hizon]], Bernard Lo, Lorraine Hahn, Dalton Tanonaka and Bill Heartley were part of the original CNBC Asia team. It adopted similar programmes from its [[CNBC|US counterpart]] like ''[[The Money Wheel]]'' and ''Business Tonight'' and had a few of its own programmes as well. In addition, the channel has broadcasted programmes from CNBC US and [[CNBC Europe]] on a live and repeat basis. ===Post-ABN Merger=== On [[December 9]], [[1997]], [[Dow Jones & Company]] and [[NBC]] announced the merger of their international business news channels. This resulted in a merger of CNBC Asia with Dow Jones' [[Asia Business News]] (ABN), and likewise of [[CNBC Europe]] with [[European Business News]]. The merged channel launched in February 1998 and was named ''CNBC Asia Business News'' but it was simply referred to as ''CNBC Asia'' in mid-1998. As a result of the merger, there were massive employee lay-offs and programme cancellations at CNBC's Asia original headquarters in Hong Kong but Rico Hizon, Geoff Cutmore and Bernard Lo joined the newly-merged channel whose operations have been based in Singapore ever since. Programmes and personalities came mostly from ABN and were for the most part retained in their original form (i.e. title and graphics scheme). CNBC Asia also mainly used ABN's own graphics scheme rather than adopt those in use by CNBC US and CNBC Europe. In addition, there was no regional ticker for most audiences until 26 October 1998 and simulcasts of US and European programmes were very limited. From then (until January 2006) the international CNBC services carried the tagline "A Service of NBC (Universal) and Dow Jones" (or depending on other local partners, a variation of this tagline) when introducing regional programmes (including magazine programmes) and airing general channel promotions. ===Mid-1998-2002=== In June 1998, CNBC Asia added ''CNBC Sports'' which it aired weekend afternoons and in October 1998, it also started airing selected episodes of the ''[[Tonight Show with Jay Leno]]'' and ''[[Late Night with Conan O'Brien]]'' on weekend evenings as CNBC Asia was replaced by the National Geographic Channel. When CNBC Asia launched its regional ticker in 1998, it introduced new shows such as ''Lunch Money'' (later replaced by ''Power Lunch Asia'' in 1999) and ''Market Watch'' (later renamed ''Global Market Watch'') where the latter was produced by CNBC Europe but anchored from both London and Singapore. In addition, the channel substantially increased CNBC Europe programming in the afternoon by airing ''Europe Today'' in its entirety. In October 1999, CNBC Asia had a partnership with the ''[[Australian Financial Review]]'' to present ''The Australian Financial Review Market Wrap'', a daily round-up of market news from the Australian region hosted by James Walker and Grace Phan. Major programming changes occurred on 30 October 2000 with CNBC Asia expanding ''[[Asia Squawk Box]]'' to 2 hours, ''Asia Market Watch'' to 2 hours in the morning and 1 1/2 hours in the afternoon and ''Power Lunch Asia'' to 1 full hour. CNBC Asia's ticker was also reformatted on that day to include colours reflecting change in the stock prices (green for an increase and red for a decrease) and a stock's ticker symbol. In 2001, CNBC Asia introduced localised tickers to audiences in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore and has since kept the ticker on the screen during commercial breaks. In July 2001, ''Asia Squawk Box'' was further extended to 3 hours and more programming hours from CNBC US and CNBC Europe were added to the line-up. This was further extended in 2002 when US programming started at 20.00 SIN time uninterrupted on weeknights. ===2006: Full control by NBC Universal=== 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's main sequences reverted from "CNBC Asia - A Service of NBC Universal and Dow Jones" to simply "CNBC Asia" on 1 January 2006. But, on 30 October 2006, to further distinguish itself between its other counterparts, "CNBC Asia" simply rebranded itself as "CNBC", and adopting CNBC's new general slogan, "First in Business Worldwide". ===2007: Return to Sydney=== It was announced on 5 March 2007 that [[CNBC Asia]] will be opening a bureau in [[Sydney]] to track the Australian markets. This is in light of the recent global market correction. ''Squawk Box'' has had reports from [[Jeffrey James]] (a former ABC and Channel Nine reporter). This has marked the first time that CNBC Asia has an Australian correspondent since Mark Laudi returned to [[Singapore]] from Sydney. In October 2007, Oriel Morrison also joined the Sydney bureau to give reports during the afternoon session there. ==Programming== ===2007 Programming Revamp=== During the week of 19 March 2007, CNBC Asia commenced promotions for ''[[Squawk Australia]]'', hosted by James, which debuted on 26 March 2007 from a studio in Sydney. It airs from 9.00 Sydney Time/6.00 SIN/HK time weekdays. A revamped ''[[Asia Squawk Box]]'', anchored by [[Amanda Drury]] and [[Martin Soong]], follows at 7.00 SIN/HK time weekdays. CNBC also launched two brand new shows that replaced ''Market Watch'' and the [[CNBC Europe]] programme ''[[Today's Business]]''. ''[[CNBC's Cash Flow]]'', anchored by [[Maura Fogarty]] (first hour) and Amanda Drury (second hour), is intensely trader and investor based. Following on from the success of ''[[Worldwide Exchange]]'', another joint production, ''[[Capital Connection (TV series)|Capital Connection]]'' was launched. It is anchored by Maura Fogarty in Singapore, and Steve Sedgwick in [[London]]. Unlike ''Worldwide Exchange'', which is produced by CNBC Europe, ''Capital Connection'' is produced by CNBC Asia. On 27 September 2007, CNBC Asia announced strategic initiatives to push into the Australian market. Two new shows were introduced to the network: ''[[Trading Matters]]'', a wrap-up of the day's market action, and ''[[Australia This Week]]'', a concise show summarizing the week's highlights. Both shows are anchored by newly-appointed CNBC anchor Oriel Morrison, formerly of [[Nine Network|Channel Nine]] and [[Bloomberg Television]]. The shows debuted on 2 and 6 October 2007 respectively at 17.30 Sydney time/15.30 SIN time as the channel moved its Sydney bureau into a new studio situated across from the [[Australian Securities Exchange|Australian Stock Exchange]] building. The move has also seen CNBC Australia re-introduce opt-outs from the pan-Asian feed for additional airings of ''Trading Matters'' and ''Australia This Week''. ===Weekday line-up=== The channel's major weekday business day programmes are (pan-Asian feed): {| border cellpadding=2 |- ! colspan=2 | SIN/HK/TWN || rowspan=2 | Mon. || rowspan=2 | Tues.-Thurs. || rowspan=2 width=120px | Fri. || rowspan=2 | Anchor/Host |- ! width=80px | with [[Daylight saving time|DST]]<br/><span style="font-family:Arial Narrow">circa Mid Mar.–Oct./Early Nov. || width=80px | without DST<br/><span style="font-family:Arial Narrow">circa late Oct./Nov.–Early Mar. |- | align=center colspan=2 | 6a-7a || colspan=3 | <center>''[[Squawk Australia]]''|| [[Jeffrey James]] |- | align=center colspan=2 | 7a-10a || colspan=3 | <center>''[[Asia Squawk Box]]''|| [[Martin Soong]], [[Amanda Drury]] |- | align=center colspan=2 | 10a-12p || colspan=3 | <center>''[[Cash Flow (CNBC Asia)|Cash Flow]]''|| [[Maura Fogarty]] (first hour), [[Amanda Drury]] (second hour) |- | align=center | no air || align=center | 12p-1p || colspan=1 | <center>''[[Meet the Press]]''|| colspan=2 |<center>''[[Fast Money (CNBC)|Fast Money]] (Re-air)'' || ''Meet the Press'': [[Tom Brokaw]]<br />''Fast Money'': [[Dylan Ratigan]] |- | align=center | 12p-1p || align=center | 1p-2p || colspan=3 | <center>''[[Capital Connection (TV series)|Capital Connection]]'' || [[Maura Fogarty]], [[Steve Sedgwick]] |- | align=center | 1p-3:30p || align=center | 2:30p-5p || colspan=3 | <center>''[[Squawk Box Europe|Europe Squawk Box]]''|| [[Geoff Cutmore]] |- | align=center | 3:30p-4p || align=center | 2p-2:30p || colspan=2 | <center>''[[Trading Matters]]''|| colspan=1 | <center>''[[Australia This Week]]''|| [[Oriel Morrison]] |- | align=center | 4p-6p || align=center | 5p-7p || colspan=3 | <center>''[[Worldwide Exchange]]''|| [[Brian Shactman]] ([[New York City|New York]]), [[Ross Westgate]] ([[London]]), [[Christine Tan]] ([[Singapore]]) |- | align=center | 6p-630p || align=center | 7p-730p || rowspan=3 width=100px colspan=2 | <center>''[[Squawk Box|US Squawk Box]]'' || <center>''[[Asia Market Week]]''|| rowspan=3 | ''Asia Market Week'': [[Maura Fogarty]]<br/>''Managing Asia'': [[Christine Tan]]<br/>''US Squawk Box'': [[Joe Kernen]], [[Carl Quintanilla]], [[Rebecca Quick]], [[Charles Gasparino]] |- | align=center | 630p-7p || align=center | 730p-8p || <center>''[[Managing Asia]]'' |- | align=center | 7p-9p || align=center | 8p-10p || <center>''[[Squawk Box|US Squawk Box]]'' |- | align=center | 9p-11p || align=center | 10p-12p || colspan=3 | <center>''[[Squawk on the Street|US Squawk On The Street]]'' || [[Mark Haines]], [[Erin Burnett]] (both live from [[NYSE]]), [[David Faber (CNBC)|David Faber]] |- | align=center | 11p-12a || align=center | 12p-1a<br>(Tues-Sat only) || colspan=3 | <center>''[[The Call (CNBC)|US The Call]]'' || [[Dylan Ratigan]], [[Trish Regan]], [[Melissa Francis]] (Ratigan live from NYSE) |- ! colspan=2 | SIN/HK/TWN || colspan=3 rowspan=2 | Tues.-Sat. || rowspan=2 | Anchor/Host |- ! width=80px | with [[Daylight saving time|DST]]<br/><span style="font-family:Arial Narrow">circa Mid Mar.–Oct./Early Nov. || width=80px | without DST<br/><span style="font-family:Arial Narrow">circa Nov.–Early Mar. |- | align=center | 12a-2a || align=center | 1a-3a || colspan=3 | <center>''[[Power Lunch|US Power Lunch]]'' || [[Bill Griffeth]], [[Sue Herera]] |- | align=center | 2a-3a || align=center | 3a-4a || colspan=3 | <center>''[[Street Signs|US Street Signs]]'' || [[Erin Burnett]] |- | align=center | 3a-5a || align=center | 4a-6a || colspan=3 | <center>''[[Closing Bell|US Closing Bell]]'' || [[Maria Bartiromo]], co-hosted with [[Dylan Ratigan]] for the 3-4pm ET hour (Ratigan live from NYSE) |- | align=center | 5a-6a || align=center | 6a-7a<br/>(Sat only)|| colspan=3 | <center>''[[Fast Money (CNBC)|US Fast Money]] (LIVE)'' || [[Dylan Ratigan]] |- | align=center | 7a-8a<br />(Sat only) || align=center | 8a-9a<br/>(Sat only) || colspan=3 | <center>''[[Kudlow & Company|US Kudlow & Company]]''|| [[Larry Kudlow]] |} ===Weekends=== CNBC Asia mostly broadcasts sporting programmes, particularly [[NFL]] games. It also broadcasts repeats of ''Asia Market Week'', ''Australia This Week'', ''Europe This Week'', ''High Net Worth'', ''Suzy Orman'', ''The Leaders'' and ''Managing Asia''. ===End-of-year programming=== [[Image:CNBC Asia - 3GSM Asia.jpg|thumb|CNBC Asia outside broadcasting 2006]] In the last 1-2 weeks of the year, CNBC pre-empts most of its regionally produced daytime programming and replaces them with pre-taped specials. Among the daytime programmes, only 1 hour of [[Asia Squawk Box]] is usually broadcasted at this time. Simulcasts of programmes originating from CNBC US and CNBC Europe remain unaffected. Regular programming usually resumes immediately after new year's day. ===Past shows=== Among the shows that have been canceled are: =====Weekdays===== *''[[Breakfast Briefing]]'' (replaced by ''CNBC Today'' on [[2000-04-03]]) *''[[CNBC Today]]'' (replaced by ''Asia Wake Up Call'' on [[2002-03-18]]) *''[[Asia Wake Up Call]]'' (replaced by ''Asia Squawk Box'' on [[2003-03-31]]) *''[[Trading Day (CNBC Asia)|Trading Day]]'' (replaced by ''Asia Market Watch'' and ''European Market Watch'' on [[2000-04-03]]) *''[[Lunch Money (CNBC Asia)|Lunch Money]]'' (replaced by ''Power Lunch Asia'' on [[1999-11-01]]) *''[[Power Lunch Asia]]'' (replaced by ''[[Meet The Press]]'' and ''[[US Business Center]]'' on [[2003-03-31]] after Rico Hizon's leave) *''[[Asia Market Wrap]]'' (replaced by ''Europe Squawk Box'' then ''Worldwide Exchange'' on [[2005-12-19]]) *''[[Asia Nightly News]]'' (replaced by ''e'' on [[2000-07-03]]) *''[[Global Market Watch (CNBC Asia)|Global Market Watch]]'' (replaced by ''Business Center'' on [[2000-10-30]]) *''[[Business Center (CNBC Asia)|Business Center]]'' (replaced by ''CNBC Tonight'') *''[[Australia Market Wrap]]'' *''[[Australia Market Week]]'' *''[[The Australian Financial Review Market Wrap]]'' (replaced by ''Australia Market Wrap'') *''[[Business Centre Australia]]'' *''[[e]]'' (replaced by ''CNBC Tonight'') *''[[CNBC Tonight]]'' (replaced by ''Worldwide Exchange'') *''[[The Asian Wall Street Journal]]'' (replaced by ''CNBC Tonight'') *''[[Asia Market Watch]]'' (replaced by ''CNBC's Cash Flow'' and ''Asia Squawk Box'' on [[2007-03-26]]) =====Primetime & Weekends===== *''[[Generation e]]'' (replaced by ''CNBC Tonight'') *''[[CEO Australia]]'' *''[[dot.commerce]]'' (replaced by ''e'' on April 2000) *''[[Far Eastern Economic Review]]'' or ''[[Review On Air]]'' (cancelled in [[April 2001]]) *''[[Driven (CNBC Asia)|Driven]]'' (cancelled in [[2000]]) *''[[Over Asia]]'' (cancelled in [[1999]]) *''[[New Company (programme)|New Company]]'' *''[[Lo & Company]]'' *''[[Asian Working Woman]]'' (cancelled in [[April 2001]]) *''[[Smart Money (CNBC Asia)|Smart Money]]'' (cancelled in [[2000]]) *''[[Challenging Asia]]'' (cancelled in [[2000]]) *''[[Storyboard (CNBC Asia)|Storyboard]]'' (cancelled on [[2000-10-29]]) *''[[Asia This Week]]'' (cancelled in [[March 2003]] after Rico Hizon's leave) ===Simulcasts outside the region=== In the US, all of CNBC Asia's daytime programmes except for ''Trading Matters'' are seen on [[CNBC World]]. As for Europe however, CNBC Europe has chosen to scale back simulcasts of CNBC Asia programming overnight in favour of poker games. CNBC Asia's entire morning line-up can only be seen starting at Sunday, 22.00 to Monday at 04.00 UK time. At other times, only ''Cash Flow's'' 2nd hour and ''Capital Connection'' are seen on [[CNBC Europe]]. Since 23 April 2007, a free live and commercial-free stream of CNBC Asia has been available on CNBC.com every Monday, from 6AM to 4PM SIN/HK/TWN time. (Sundays 6PM to 4AM ET with [[DST]]) <ref>2007/04/19, [http://www.cnbc.com/id/18204100 CNBC.com] / [http://nbcumv.com/cnbc/release_detail.nbc/cnbc-20070419000000-gettheedgeonwall.html?rss=1 NBC Universal Media Village] : Get the Edge on Wall Street: Live Coverage of the Opening of the Asian Markets on CNBC.com</ref> At other times, the stream can be accessed by subscribing to CNBC Plus, which costs $9.95/month or $99.95/year. ==New look and studio== CNBC Asia's on-air look was revamped on [[2006-10-30]], aligning its graphics package to that of CNBC US and CNBC Europe. Like CNBC Europe but unlike CNBC US, the graphics is not 3-D. In addition, they elected to keep the theme music the same as the previous graphics package. On [[2007-03-26]], CNBC Asia introduced more changes to its on-air look, with new "[[lower thirds]]" similar to those used on CNBC US since [[2006-12-19]], along with changing to the new US theme music for ''[[Squawk Box]]''. A new studio, the first for CNBC Asia since the early 2000s, also made its debut on that date. That studio is used for ''Asia Squawk Box'', ''Capital Connection'', and ''Worldwide Exchange''. This marked the end of the exclusive use of a virtual studio with a blue/green screen for shows originating from Singapore. However, the virtual studio continued to be used for ''Worldwide Exchange'' until [[2008-01-07]], when that program started using the new studio as well. ==CNBC Asia Ticker== During the trading day, CNBC Asia runs a [[CNBC Ticker|ticker]] providing information from major Asian stock exchanges, as well as US and Europe recaps. The top bar usually features the Most Active shares in the region while the bottom bar gives the latest data on indices, currencies, commodities and the treasury market. At night, the old CNBC US ticker is simulated where only the ticker symbols are displayed instead of the companies' full names. The ticker is shown continuously during commercial breaks and most of the data for the Asian ticker is supplied by [[Reuters]]. Viewers in Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia are treated to a more localised ticker with the top bar featuring trades from their respective local stock markets exclusively. Outside Asia, the ticker can be seen alongside with CNBC Asia programmes simulcasted on [[CNBC Europe]] and [[CNBC World]]. However, the ticker is not available on CNBC Asia's live stream at CNBC.com (both freeview and CNBC Plus) and is instead replaced by a similar looking static strip which says CNBC on the top bar and its tagline "First in Business Worldwide" on the lower bar. ==Personalities== ===Present Personalities=== ====Anchors==== {| width=100% |- valign ="top" |width=50%| *[[Jeffrey James]] (''[[Squawk Australia]]'') *[[Amanda Drury]] (''[[Asia Squawk Box]]'' and ''[[CNBC's Cash Flow]]'') *[[Martin Soong]] (returned to CNBC in 2005), ''[[Asia Squawk Box]]'' |width=50%| *[[Maura Fogarty]] (''[[CNBC's Cash Flow]]'', ''[[Capital Connection]]'', ''[[Asia Market Week]]'') *[[Christine Tan]] (''[[Worldwide Exchange]]'' and ''[[Managing Asia]]'') *[[Oriel Morrison]] (''[[Trading Matters]]'' and ''[[Australia This Week]]'') *[[Lisa Oake]] (returned to CNBC Asia in late 2007 as part-time anchor) |} ====Correspondents==== {| width=100% |- valign ="top" |width=25%| *[[Adam Bahktiar]] *[[Emily Chan]] ([[Hong Kong]]) |width=25%| *[[Kaori Enjoji]] ([[Tokyo]]) *[[Arnold Gay]] |width=25%| *[[Sri Jegarajah]] *[[Cheng Lei]] ([[Shanghai]]) |width=25%| *[[Saijal Patel]] *Matthew Taylor ([[Sydney]]) |} ===Past Personalities=== ====Anchors/Presenters==== {| width=100% |- valign ="top" |width=33%| *[[May Lee]] (Her "Oprah"-style talk show on STAR World will premiere in May) *[[Fauziah Ibrahim]] (''World News Update'' segment anchor) *[[Rico Hizon]] (now with [[BBC World News]]) *[[Sydnie Kohara]] (now with [[KPIX-TV]]) *[[Dalton Tanonaka]]* *[[Sasha Salama]]* *[[Karen Koh]] |width=33%| *[[Grace Phan]] (now with [[ABCAP]]) *[[Eunice Yoon]] (now with [[CNNI]]) *[[Mark Laudi]] (now runs his own consultancy, Mark Laudi and Associates) *[[Suchita Vadlamani]] (now with Fox afflilate [[WAGA (TV)|WAGA]] in [[Atlanta]]) *[[Lorraine Hahn]]* *[[Bill Heartley]]* *[[Andrea Catherwood]]* (now with ITV news) |width=33%| *[[Teymoor Nabili]] (now with [[Al Jazeera English]]) *[[Keith Liu]] (now with Nokia Multimedia Asia Pacific) *[[Bernard Lo]] (now with [[Bloomberg Television]], Hong Kong studios) *[[Bettina Chua]] *[[Cecilia Zecha]] *Lynette Lithgow *Coco Quisumbing |} ====Correspondents==== {| width=100% |- valign ="top" |width=33%| *[[Jane Ong]] (now with Burson-Marsteller Asia Pacific) *Twink Macaraig (now with ANC) *Steven Engel (now with Bloomberg Television) *Michelle Cheung (now with [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|CBC]]) *Stuart Pallister (now with [[INSEAD]]) *Janine Graham |width=33%| *[[Collete Wong]] (now with [[ESPN Star Sports]]) *[[Roger Maynard]] (now with [[The Straits Times]]) *Geoff Cutmore (now with CNBC Europe) *Dini Djalal *Andrew Stevens (now with [[CNN International|CNN]]) *Christopher Slaughter |width=33%| *[[Phil Yin]] *[[Cheryl Liew]] (now with [[ESPN Star Sports]] / finance) *[[Sabrina Kang]] *[[Betty Liu]] (now with Bloomberg Television, New York studios) *Ty Marega* *Andrew Brown |} <nowiki>*</nowiki>left before the 1998 merger with Asia Business News ==Other CNBC Asia Services and Partnerships== ===CNBC-based Channels=== In conjunction with local partners it provides the following local channels: * [[CNBC-TV18]] (formerly [[CNBC India]]) * [[Nikkei CNBC]] (in Japan) * CNBC Pakistan ===Other TV and Print Partners=== * [[Etomato]] and Chosun (in [[South Korea]]) [http://www.cnbcasia.com/about_cnbcasia/about_press_room_detail.aspx?ID=49] ** Etomato airs LIVE CNBC U.S. programs weeknights from 12AM to 7AM [[Korea Standard Time|KST]], including the second hour of ''[[The Call]]'', ''[[Power Lunch]]'', ''[[Street Signs]]'', ''[[Closing Bell]]'', and ''[[Kudlow & Company]]''.
