CNBC is the recognized global leader in business news, providing real-time financial market coverage and business information to more than 198 million homes worldwide throughout the business day. In the U.S. and Canada, CNBC is distributed to more than 82 million households, providing business news as a joint service of its parent, NBC, and Dow Jones, publisher of The Wall Street Journal. In addition to its headquarters in Fort Lee, N.J., CNBC has news bureaus in midtown Manhattan, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Palo Alto, Singapore, the Nasdaq MarketSite, and the New York Stock Exchange. CNBC also has news and studio operations in several Wall Street Journal bureaus, including San Francisco and Seattle.

The network has launched a series of new programming initiatives aimed at setting a new standard of excellence in real-time financial market coverage. The highly acclaimed Business Center -co-anchored by Ron Insana and Sue Herera-provides viewers with a definitive review of the day's top business and financial-market headlines, a preview of the next day's U.S. trading, and roundtable discussions and interviews with high-profile newsmakers. Market Week with Maria Bartiromo is a weekly half-hour show, broadcast live from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, devoted to giving investors direction for the week ahead by interpreting the week that was. Other network successes include Power Lunch and its quarterly road shows, the launch of the Senior PGA Tour on CNBC, and CNBC's Squawk Box, which gives viewers the "pre-game" jump on the business day.
