CNBC provides business television and market coverage. CNBC+ describes two live choices for the business day, Global Stream and Data Stream, alongside full episodes on demand. CNBC's browser help also describes viewing through eligible TV providers and CNBC Pro.
Choose the presentation for the business day
CNBC describes Global Stream as coverage spanning the United States, Europe and Asia. Data Stream provides corresponding market information while anchors and guests discuss events. The two presentations serve different needs when following a session or hearing commentary on a specific market.
Use the name of the stream when asking about what appeared on screen. Someone recalling a chart and someone recalling an interview may have been following different presentations. The programme title and approximate time can help locate the corresponding episode or report.
Follow the hours and programme exceptions
CNBC's published schedule gives the Global and Data streams separate operating windows in Eastern Time. It also describes off-air periods and market-holiday exceptions. Check the current date and stream name before converting a time for a viewer in another time zone.
The schedule identifies Mad Money as an exception to the Data Stream. It also describes primetime programmes as outside the CNBC+ and CNBC Pro lineup, using titles such as The Profit and Shark Tank as examples. If you are seeking a particular programme, confirm its route from the programme listing.
Use the access route for the selected material
CNBC's browser help identifies eligible TV-provider sign-in and active CNBC+ or CNBC Pro subscriptions as ways to reach live TV on its site. CNBC+ separately describes full episodes of business-day programming. The relevant starting point depends on the account you use and the kind of material you need.
For a market segment you watched earlier, begin with its business-day episode and date. For a live programme, identify the channel or stream and check the current schedule. When choosing a subscription route, compare its stated programme scope with the title you actually plan to watch.
