EspañolCNBC EUROPE
'CNBC Europe' is a business and financial news channel broadcast in Europe. It is the European version of CNBC. It is operated by NBC Universal, and headquartered in London. As the fastest growing Pan European TV channel according to an EMS 2005 survey, the broadcaster reaches 215 million households worldwide.
Since 2005, CNBC Europe also publishes a monthly magazine called '''CNBC European Business''', aimed at senior businesspeople and business travellers.
History
CNBC Europe began broadcasts in March 1996, as a wholly owned subsidiary of NBC. On 9 December 1997, the channel announced that it would be merging with the Dow Jones news channel in Europe, European Business News. The merger took place in February 1998, upon which the channel then became known officially as "CNBC Europe - A Service of NBC and Dow Jones".
CNBC Europe has leaned generally on the US CNBC on-air graphical look in the past. However in June 2003, it revamped a number of its programmes, taking many of them away from the US formats.[3] CNBC Europe re-launched its on-air image in September 2004, but instead of adapting the US title sequences for programmes, designed all of its title sequences itself from scratch (while still using the US music adopted in September 2003).
In July 2005, NBC Universal announced that it would be acquiring the Dow Jones stake in CNBC Europe, subject to required regulatory clearances. On 30 December 2005, CNBC Europe became a wholly owned subsidiary of NBC Universal.[4] Dow Jones continues to provide content to the channel. On 1 January 2006, in line with this, the channel dropped the "A Service of NBC Universal and Dow Jones" tagline.
On 18 September 2006, CNBC Europe debuted a new graphics package, which is very similar to its US counterpart (first seen on CNBC US on 19 December 2005). Like CNBC Asia (which debuted a new graphics package of its own on 30 October 2006, in line with its Europe and US siblings), it has elected to keep the previous theme music, although unlike CNBC Asia, it has also elected to keep the opening title animations also.
The channel adopted a new schedule on 26 March, 2007 which included a new pan-regional programme, ''Capital Connection''.[5] New title sequences were given to ''Power Lunch Europe'' and ''Europe Tonight'' to coincide with changes to the form and content of those programmes, but unlike CNBC Asia, no other changes were made to the channel's on air look on this date (although ''Capital Connection'' uses CNBC Asia's new graphics rather than CNBC Europe's, as it is produced by that channel).
Programming
European Business Day
Current programming
CNBC Europe produces live business day programming from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. CET, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., and from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. Broadcast live from London, the major business day programmes on CNBC Europe are:
| CET | WET | Programme | Hosts |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6am-7am | 5am-6am |  | Steve Sedgwick, Maura Fogarty |
| 7am-10am | 6am-9am |  | Geoff Cutmore, with reporters Louisa Bojesen, Anna Martin and Steve Sedgwick |
| 10am-12pm | 9am-11am |  | Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, Ross Westgate, Christine Tan |
| 12pm-1pm | 11am-12pm |  | Louisa Bojesen |
| 5pm-6pm | 4pm-5pm |  | Guy Johnson |
| 8pm-9pm | 7pm-8pm |  | Guy Johnson |
During the business day, the CNBC Europe Ticker is displayed during both programmes and commercials, providing information on share prices from the leading European stock exchanges. (This means that commercials on CNBC Europe are formatted differently to on most television channels, taking up only part of the screen). A stack (or bug) providing index and commodity prices was displayed in the bottom right hand corner of the screen until December 2005, when it was replaced with a strip across the top of the screen (in line with the other CNBC channels). The ticker was decreased in size at the same time.

Rebroadcasts of CNBC and CNBC Asia
In addition to its own programming, CNBC Europe also broadcasts live much of the business day programming of the United States CNBC channel. The programmes ''Squawk on the Street'', ''Power Lunch'' (as of 26 March 2007), and ''Closing Bell'' are broadcast in their entirety, as well as the final two hours of ''Squawk Box''. ''Wake Up Call'' was not normally broadcast (except on European bank holidays, and on the week in between the beginning of daylight saving time in Europe and in the United States). ''Kudlow & Company'' is not now broadcast, ''The Call'' (formerly ''Morning Call'') is also no longer seen, having been reduced to one hour in length, ''Street Signs'' is now only broadcast on days of FOMC interest rate decisions, and ''Mad Money'' has never been broadcast on CNBC Europe, perhaps due to its content. While the US markets are open, the CNBC Europe Ticker is modified to carry US share prices. A break filler, consisting of ''HotBoards'' (CNBC's custom stock price graphs) is often broadcast during US programming, owing to the increased number of advertising breaks. In addition, during the evening, ''Europe Update'' is broadcast during some US ad breaks, during which Guy Johnson (or Daniel Mann) presents a short run down of the European closing prices.
CNBC Asia programming is traditionally broadcast overnight. However CNBC Europe has in recent years preferred to broadcast teleshopping and poker programming in place of CNBC Asia, to the point where ''Asia Squawk Box'' is no usually longer broadcast apart from on Sunday nights. Similarly, ''Squawk Australia'' is also only shown on Sunday, but both hours of ''CNBC's Cash Flow'' are regularly shown five nights a week. At weekends, ''Asia Market Week'' is shown. During CNBC Asia programmes (and Capital Connection), the CNBC Asia ticker is broadcast.
Other programmes
Other daily programmes not produced by CNBC include ''NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams'', as well as NBC talk show ''The Tonight Show'', which airs nightly in an edited 30 minute version. ''Late Night with Conan O'Brien'' no longer airs nightly, but continues to appear at weekends alongside ''Tonight''. Weekly programmes broadcast by the channel include: ''Europe This Week'', ''The McLaughlin Group'', ''World Business'', ''World Report'', ''Business Russia'', ''Change Reaction'' and ''Business Arabia''. At weekends CNBC Europe broadcasts sports programming such as golf and tennis under the heading of CNBC Sports, and the Sunday-morning interview show, ''Meet the Press'' is also shown on the channel. CNBC Europe also airs special programmes dedicated to the world of financial news and politics which appear less frequently, such as ''Questions for the Future'', ''Media Talk'' and ''Global Players with Sabine Christiansen''.
The channel used to carry the 24 hour MSNBC news channel overnight and more often during significant events.
Extended programming
On US bank holidays CNBC Europe broadcasts extended programming between ''Power Lunch Europe'' and ''European Closing Bell''. On European bank holidays which are regular working days in the United States, CNBC Europe broadcasts the entire CNBC US business day schedule through to ''Kudlow and Company''.

Other channels operated by CNBC Europe
Generally CNBC Europe has not followed CNBC Asia's lead of broadcasting localised versions of its channels, preferring to concentrate on its pan-European feed. However there are a few exceptions.
There is a feed of CNBC Europe for Scandinavian countries called CNBC Nordic.[10] It shows identical programmes to CNBC Europe but has a ticker focussing on Scandinavian stock exchanges.
CNBC Europe also operates the following local channels:
★ CNBC-e, the Turkish version of CNBC. This is unique in the CNBC family, in that after business day hours, it broadcasts popular general entertainment programmes and films.
★ Class CNBC (formerly CFN-CNBC), the Italian version of the network, operated in conjunction with Class Editori and Mediaset.
★ CNBC Arabiya, the Arabic version of the channel.
★ On 2007-07-10, CNBC Europe announced the creation of a new Polish business channel, TVN CNBC Biznes, in conjunction with TVN. The channel will share resources with CNBC Europe through a permanent link to their London headquarters.[11]
