The original CNBC channel was launched in the United States on April 17, 1989. Today, it provides business news programming from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., Eastern Time, while broadcasting talk shows, investigative reports, infomercials, and other programs during the evening and early morning. A rolling ticker (formally the "CNBC Ticker") and a stack (called by some the "bug") provide real-time updates on share prices (NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX) and market indices, news summaries, and weather updates by AccuWeather.
In 2003, CNBC moved to a new headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. The new facility uses completely digital video production.

CNBC has experimented with non-business programming during primetime hours, but many of these shows have been unsuccessful and cancelled. CNBC's primetime lineup features The Big Idea With Donny Deutsch and rebroadcasts of several NBC programs, including Late Night with Conan O'Brien and The Apprentice. Infomercials are typically aired from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. CNBC rebroadcasts CNBC World from 4 a.m. to 5 a.m.
Other special or weekend programming includes CNBC on Assignment (e.g. The Age of Wal-Mart), Cover to Cover, The Suze Orman Show with Suze Orman, The Wall Street Journal Report, and The Tim Russert Show with Tim Russert.
Other "star" anchors and reporters include Bob Pisani and Dylan Ratigan.
Past shows and anchors
Among the after-market shows that have been cancelled are Bullseye, Capital Report, Dennis Miller, and Topic A with Tina Brown. Another evening program, Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street, ended its run in 2004 at Louis Rukeyser's request.
Former anchors and reporters include Neil Cavuto, Phil Donahue, Morton Downey, Jr., Charles Grodin, John McLaughlin, and Tom Snyder.
CNBC international channels
On December 9, 1997, Dow Jones & Company and NBC announced a joint venture to launch international versions of CNBC. The primary operations are CNBC Europe from London and CNBC Asia from Hong Kong and Singapore.
NBC Universal has a CNBC Latin America channel, which retransmits live programs from CNBC U.S. and, since the NBC Universal merger, live CNBC World programs. A number of local CNBC services also exist, including versions in Japanese (Nikkei-CNBC) and Turkish (CNBC-e). The international CNBC services provide the same type of programming as CNBC U.S. during the business day, and rebroadcast CNBC U.S.'s major business programmes. CNBC Europe and CNBC Asia programming can be seen in North America on the cable channel CNBC World.
In India CNBC Asia owns stake in a local company called Television Eighteen which runs an English business news channel called CNBC TV18 and a Hindi news business channel called "Awaaz" which has the same NBC Peacock logo. CNBC TV18 has become India's top rated English news channel, beating even the general news channels at the ratings.
