'''CNBC Asia''' is a [[Singapore]]-based [[Business journalism|business news]] channel owned by the [[NBCUniversal Media Group]], a subsidiary of [[Comcast]]. It is a pan-Asian branch of the U.S.-based [[CNBC]].

The channel launched on 20 June 1995 out of [[Hong Kong]]. In 1998, the channel merged with [[Dow Jones]]' [[Asia Business News]] and relocated to its facilities in [[Singapore]]. The network maintains bureaus across the [[Asia–Pacific]] region.

==History==
CNBC Asia was announced in 1995 as a localised version of [[CNBC]] for the [[Asia-Pacific]] region. The network was expected to feature 10 hours of programming per day from its studio in [[Hong Kong]], along with bureaus in [[Mumbai|Bombay]], [[Singapore]], and [[Tokyo]]. The rest of its programming would be sourced from [[CNBC Europe]] and its U.S. counterpart. [[NBC Asia]] chairman Patrick Cox expected that the network would reach five million homes by the end of its first year on-air.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Groves |first=Don |date=1995-02-20 |title=Two To Tangle Over Territory |url=https://variety.com/1995/scene/markets-festivals/two-to-tangle-over-territory-99124600/ |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}</ref> In January 1995, a [[Soft launch|"preview"]] known as '''ANBC''' launched, which carried a mix of programming from [[CNBC|CNBC US]] and CNBC Europe on [[Galaxy (Australian television)|Galaxy]] in Australia and [[I-Cable Communications|Wharf Cable]] in Hong Kong.<ref name=":0" /> CNBC Asia officially launched on 20 June 1995.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Sullivan |first=Maureen |date=1997-11-05 |title=Asia's CNBC, ABN in talks |url=https://variety.com/1997/tv/news/asia-s-cnbc-abn-in-talks-111660837/ |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=CNBC IN ASIA |url=https://www.sfgate.com/business/article/cnbc-in-asia-3030027.php |access-date=2024-04-17 |work=SFGATE |language=en}}</ref>

The network would be a competitor to the Singapore-based [[Asia Business News]] (ABN), a joint venture between [[Dow Jones & Company]], [[Tele-Communications Inc.]], [[TVNZ]], and other local investors which launched in 1993. There were doubts that the two competing business news channels in the market would be viable; ABN CEO Paul France derided CNBC Asia as being "an Asian branch of an American company."<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |date=1997-12-10 |title=150 jobs to go as CNBC shuts headquarters |url=https://www.scmp.com/article/222489/150-jobs-go-cnbc-shuts-headquarters |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=South China Morning Post |language=en}}</ref> However, as early as November 1995, it was reported that NBC and Dow Jones were considering a merger of their business news channels in Asia and Europe, including ABN and its European counterpart, [[European Business News]] (EBN).<ref>{{Cite web |date=1995-11-04 |title=Talks Seen on CNBC-Dow Jones Linkup Abroad |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1995/11/04/business/talks-seen-on-cnbc-dow-jones-linkup-abroad.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150526141652/https://www.nytimes.com/1995/11/04/business/talks-seen-on-cnbc-dow-jones-linkup-abroad.html |archive-date=2015-05-26 |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=The New York Times}}</ref>

In March 1997, CNBC Asia expanded its carriage on cable in India via an agreement with the [[Hinduja Group]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=1997-03-10 |title=Cnbc Adjusts Its Dials In Asia |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/1997-03-09/cnbc-adjusts-its-dials-in-asia-intl-edition |access-date=2024-04-17 |work=Bloomberg.com |language=en}}</ref>

===Merger with ABN===
Renewed negotiations between NBC and Dow Jones surfaced in November 1997 amid financial difficulties at the companies' Asian and European operations. Dow Jones had been operating at a loss of US$48 million, and CNBC at $40 million.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |last=Archives |first=L. A.

On 10 December 1997, Dow Jones and NBC announced a 15-year strategic partnership, under which ABN and EBN would merge with CNBC Asia and CNBC Europe, respectively, and CNBC US would be able to enter into editorial partnerships with Dow Jones publications such as ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' and ''[[Barron's]]''.<ref name="alliance">{{cite news |last=Spurgeon |first=Devon |date=December 10, 1997 |title=Dow Jones Teams Up With NBC |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/business/1997/12/10/dow-jones-teams-up-with-nbc/e0095b96-1225-4063-b338-574e53e21fc5/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20240104032105/https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/business/1997/12/10/dow-jones-teams-up-with-nbc/e0095b96-1225-4063-b338-574e53e21fc5/ |archive-date=4 January 2024 |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Jones |first=Tim |date=December 10, 1997 |title=ONE ALLIANCE, 2 BIG NAMES |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1997-12-10-9712100261-story.html |url-access=limited |work=[[Chicago Tribune]]}}</ref> The merged operation would retain the CNBC branding, but be overseen by Paul France,<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |last=Kannan |first=Indira |date=2016-09-19 |title=How Raghav Bahl won CNBC Asia from the brink of defeat (and saved his young company) |url=https://scroll.in/article/816866/how-raghav-bahl-won-cnbc-asia-from-the-brink-of-defeat-and-saved-his-young-company |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=Scroll.in |language=en-US}}</ref> and relocate to ABN's Singapore studios—resulting in layoffs of 150 employees from its Hong Kong bureau.<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":2" />

The merger took effect on-air on 2 February 1998, with the channel being rebranded as '''CNBC–Asia Business News''' for a transitional period.<ref name="auto">{{Cite web |last=Sullivan |first=Maureen |date=1998-03-03 |title=CNBC Asia enlists U.S. feed |url=https://variety.com/1998/tv/news/cnbc-asia-enlists-u-s-feed-1117468315/ |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=TV18 lays off staff as part of worldwide merger of NBC and Dow Jones |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/society-and-the-arts/story/19980209-tv18-lays-off-staff-as-part-of-worldwide-merger-of-nbc-and-dow-jones-825627-1998-02-08 |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=India Today |date=9 February 1998 |language=en}}</ref> Citing cost issues and a plan to focus exclusively on Asian business news, simulcasts of CNBC US programmes were dropped from its overnight schedule in favour of reruns of domestic programmes.

The merger impacted ABN's Indian network, ABNi, which was a joint venture with Hinduja Group and [[TV18]]; prior to the announcement of the Dow Jones agreement, Hinduja had sold its stake in the channel, and TV18's agreement on the venture did not contain any provisions on what would occur in the event of a change in ownership. After discussions with a CNBC lawyer and France, TV18 would reach an agreement with CNBC to serve as its Indian partner, and would also launch CNBC India (now [[CNBC TV18]]) the following year.<ref name=":4" /><ref>{{Cite web |last=Sharma |first=Rahul |date=2009-07-13 |title=Channel war {{!}} Making sense of business news |url=https://www.livemint.com/Consumer/c9nz7D6LQF6Ruq0SqNOKHP/Channel-war--Making-sense-of-business-news.html |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=mint |language=en}}</ref>

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 two hours, ''Asia Market Watch'' to two hours in the morning and 1½ hours in the afternoon and ''Power Lunch Asia'' to one 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 three hours and more programming hours from [[CNBC|CNBC US]] and [[CNBC Europe]] were added to the line-up. This was further extended in 2002 when U.S. programming started at 20.00 [[UTC+08:00|UTC+8]] time uninterrupted on weeknights.

=== 2005–present: Post-merger ===
In July 2005, Dow Jones exited its joint ventures with CNBC, putting them entirely under the ownership of [[NBCUniversal|NBC Universal]].<ref>{{Cite news |title=Dow Jones to End International CNBC Venture |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB112193378869591915 |access-date=2024-04-17 |work=WSJ |language=en-US}}</ref> In March 2007, CNBC Asia announced that it would expand its presence in Australia, including establishing a new [[Sydney]] bureau (initially based out of a local [[General Electric|GE]] office, with a studio under construction at the [[Burns Philp Building, Sydney|Burns Philp Building]] across from Sydney Exchange Square), and premiering a new hour-long program preceding ''Asia Squawk Box''—''[[Squawk Australia]]''—to cover the opening of the Australian markets.<ref>{{Cite news |last=McIntyre |first=Paul |date=2007-03-01 |title=CNBC chases news and revenue in Australia |url=https://www.smh.com.au/news/business/cnbc-chases-news-and-revenue-in-australia/2007/02/28/1172338708530.html |access-date=2007-09-27 |work=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]]}}</ref><ref name=":5">{{Cite web |date=2007-09-27 |title=CNBC to expand local business coverage |url=https://www.smh.com.au/business/cnbc-to-expand-local-business-coverage-20070927-gdr7fc.html |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=The Sydney Morning Herald |language=en}}</ref> The following month, CNBC launched ''[[Worldwide Exchange]]'', a new international business program that would be simulcast across CNBC in Asia, Europe, and the United States.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Europe |first=CNBC |date=2007-04-10 |title=CNBC Announces its First Daily Live Global Business Programme |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2007/04/10/cnbc-announces-its-first-daily-live-global-business-programme.html |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=CNBC |language=en}}</ref>

CNBC Asia 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), was originally intensely trader and investor based. Following the success of ''Worldwide Exchange'', another joint production, ''[[Capital Connection (TV series)|Capital Connection]],'' was launched. It was originally anchored by Maura Fogarty in Singapore and Steve Sedgwick in [[London]]. Unlike ''Worldwide Exchange'', which was originally produced by [[CNBC Europe]] (until production of that show was relocated to CNBC US on 4 January 2016), ''Capital Connection'' was produced by CNBC Asia.

On 27 September 2007, CNBC Asia announced two additional shows from Sydney, ''[[Trading Matters]]''—a wrap-up of the day's market action, and ''[[Australia This Week]]''. Both shows were anchored by then-newly appointed CNBC anchor Oriel Morrison, formerly of the [[Nine Network]] and [[Bloomberg Television]]. The shows debuted on 2 and 6 October 2007, respectively, as the channel officially opened its new Burns Philip Building studios.<ref name=":5" /> The move also saw CNBC Australia re-introduce opt-outs from the pan-Asian feed for additional airings of ''Trading Matters'' and ''Australia This Week''.

In August 2008, ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'' reported that Channel Nine's finance reporter Karen Tso, would be joining the network in October 2008. She became the Sydney-based correspondent of CNBC and anchored ''Squawk Australia'', thus replacing Jeffrey James.<ref>{{Cite news |date=September 8, 2008 |title=CNBC Strengthens Australia Operations |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2008/09/08/cnbc-strengthens-australia-operations.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240826102943/https://www.cnbc.com/2008/09/08/cnbc-strengthens-australia-operations.html |archive-date=August 26, 2024 |access-date=August 26, 2024 |work=[[CNBC]]}}</ref> In mid-2009, CNBC Asia launched a new personal finance show as an opt-out in Australia, ''The Barefoot Investor'', with Australian personal finance expert Scott Pape.<ref>{{Cite news |date=August 30, 2009 |title=CNBC Launches New Weekend Programme, "The Barefoot Investor" |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2009/08/30/cnbc-launches-new-weekend-programme-the-barefoot-investor.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240826103714/https://www.cnbc.com/2009/08/30/cnbc-launches-new-weekend-programme-the-barefoot-investor.html |archive-date=August 26, 2024 |access-date=August 26, 2024 |work=[[CNBC]]}}</ref>

In June 2010, CNBC Asia relocated to a new studio at the [[Singapore Exchange]]. This coincided with changes to the network's lineup, including the cancellation of ''Squawk Australia'' and re-expansion of ''Asia Squawk Box'' to a three-hour format, and the new program ''[[The Call (American TV program)|The Call]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=cnbc.com |date=2010-06-14 |title=CNBC Broadcasts LIVE from New Studio at Singapore Exchange with Revamped Morning Programming Line-up |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2010/06/13/cnbc-broadcasts-live-from-new-studio-at-singapore-exchange-with-revamped-morning-programming-lineup.html |access-date=2024-04-17 |website=CNBC |language=en}}</ref> On 31 March 2014, CNBC replaced ''The Call'' and ''Cash Flow'' with the early morning show ''[[The Rundown (CNBC Asia)|The Rundown]]'' and a local version of ''[[Street Signs (TV series)|Street Signs]].

On 22 July 2024, CNBC Asia updated its on-air presentation and branding to match the new CNBC US branding that was first introduced on 11 December 2023.

On 7 April 2025, CNBC Asia revamped its programming schedule, introducing new shows ''US Markets Edition'' (airing prior to ''Squawk Box Asia'' to provide a recap of the previous American trading day), and new regional programmes ''The China Connection'', ''Inside India'', and ''Access Middle East.''<ref name=":6">{{Cite web |date=2025-03-27 |title=CNBC International Announces New Weekday Programming Slate to Super Serve Audiences |url=https://nbcuniversalnewsgroup.com/cnbc/2025/03/27/cnbc-international-announces-new-weekday-programming-slate-to-super-serve-audiences/ |access-date=2025-05-30 |website=CNBC Press Releases |language=en-US}}</ref>

===Simulcasts outside the region===
In the US, all of CNBC Asia's daytime programmes are seen on [[CNBC World]].

In Europe, during the mid to late 2000s, CNBC Europe had chosen to scale back simulcasts of CNBC Asia programming overnight in favour of teleshopping and later poker games, and CNBC Asia's entire morning line-up had only been seen on Monday mornings. During the rest of the week, only the second hour of ''Street Signs'' and ''Capital Connection'' were seen on [[CNBC Europe]]. However, in 2009, CNBC Europe began showing almost the entire CNBC Asia schedule throughout the week, joining CNBC Asia at midnight UK time, 1am CET, with the full schedule broadcast on Monday mornings. The April 2025 schedule changes saw CNBC Europe broadcast the entire CNBC Asia programming block every day for the first time.

Since 23 April 2007, a free live and commercial-free stream of CNBC Asia has been available on CNBC.com every Monday, from 6 AM to 4 PM SIN time (Sundays 6 PM to 4 AM ET with [[Daylight saving time|DST]]).<ref>[https://www.cnbc.com/id/18204100 CNBC.com] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930201651/http://www.cnbc.com/id/18204100 |date=2007-09-30 }} / [http://nbcumv.com/cnbc/release_detail.nbc/cnbc-20070419000000-gettheedgeonwall.html?rss=1 NBC Universal Media Village]{{Dead link|date=June 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} : Get the Edge on Wall Street: Live Coverage of the Opening of the Asian Markets on CNBC.com. 19 April 2007.</ref> At other times, the stream can be accessed by subscribing to CNBC Plus, which costs $9.95/month or $99.95/year.

Furthermore, ''[[Worldwide Exchange]]'' is not shown on Fridays due to clashing with weekend shows (''Inside China'', ''The Edge'') and ''Managing Asia''.
