CNBC Asia is a Business News channel in Asia . A subsidiary of NBC Universal , it is the Asia n service of Consumer News and Business Channel ( CNBC ). It is broadcast from Singapore and Hong Kong . HISTORY CNBC Asia launched in 1995. 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 , and likewise of CNBC Europe with European Business News . 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). Correspondents from Dow Jones Newswires contribute to the channels. On April 19, 2007 , CNBC announced that starting April 23, 2007 , free live stream of CNBC Asia can be watched on CNBC.com every Monday, from 6AM to 4PM SIN/HK/TWN time.

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 . But, on 30 October 2006 , to further distinguish itself between its other counterparts, "CNBC Asia" became "CNBC - First in Business Worldwide." It was announced on March 5 , 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'' will have live reports from Jeffrey James (a former ABC and Channel Nine reporter). This marks the first time that Squawk has an Australian correspondent since Mark Laudi returned to Singapore from Sydney. During the week of March 19 , 2007, CNBC Asia commenced promotions for '' Squawk Australia '', hosted by James, which debuted on March 26 , 2007 from a studio in Sydney. It airs from 8am Sydney time (6am SIN/HK/TWN Time) weekdays. A revamped '' Asia Squawk Box '', anchored by Amanda Drury and Martin Soong, follows from 9am Sydney time (7am SIN/HK) 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 Amanda Drury and Maura Fogarty, is intensely trader and investor based. Following on from the success of '' Worldwide Exchange '', another joint production, '' 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. PROGRAMMING Present Shows The channel's major weekday business day programmes are: 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 was revamped on October 30 , 2006 , aligning its graphics package to that of CNBC US and CNBC Europe. However, they elected to keep the theme music the same as the previous graphics package. On 26 March 2007 , CNBC Asia introduced more changes to its on-air look, with new " Lower Thirds " similar to those used on CNBC US since December 2006 , along with changing to the new US theme music. A new studio, the first for CNBC Asia since the early 2000s, also made its debut on that date. Past shows Among the shows that have been canceled are: =Weekdays
