TV Channel Overview
CNBC is an English-language business and financial news network headquartered
in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, United States. Its journalism focuses
on financial markets, companies, the economy, investing, technology, and
economic policy, serving audiences that follow developments affecting business,
industries, and investment decisions.
Market reporting is combined with interviews, analysis, company news, and coverage of economic and financial developments. CNBC also maintains an international news operation, with additional headquarters in London and Singapore and reporting resources in other financial centers.

CNBC began in 1989 under NBC as the Consumer News and Business Channel. It later operated for many years within NBCUniversal. Comcast, the parent company of NBCUniversal, subsequently separated CNBC and several other cable networks and digital businesses into VERSANT. The spin-off was completed in January 2026, when VERSANT became an independent publicly traded media company. CNBC now operates as a VERSANT brand, continuing its focus on business news, financial markets, and personal finance.
