Expansion done
I think the article has been expanded enough for now. I tried to add in new sections (ratings, how to read the screen, pictures/idents) as appropriate and for the most part, I think the article is much stronger than it was a few months ago. Vikramsidhu 22:21, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

About the music of Fast Money
the link of it is to "On The Money", so which program did Willie Wilcox compose for? --KevinAction 21:46, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

why did you do that

About the FTSE CNBC Global 300 Index
the artical said "...As the name suggest, it is an index of 500 global corporations..."

Is this right? Or the author just typed it wrong? KevinAction 16:46, 21 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Good eye...I corrected it. It is indeed 300 companies (link:http://www.ftse.com/Indices/FTSE_CNBC_Global_300_Index/index.jsp) Vikramsidhu 16:58, 21 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Ha! Thanks! I was translating this article into Chinese edition, and got confused by this, anyway, thanks a lot!
 * By the way, is there anyone who knows about the answer above here? (the music of Fast Money) KevinAction 20:26, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

User:UBX/CNBC
Hey guys, if you love CNBC, add this template to your user page! KevinAction 07:15, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * LOL neat-o! I added it on to my page! Vikramsidhu 18:26, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

CNBC Broadcasting online
The main article currently states: (in regards to the relaunch) "Although it has not been confirmed, the network is likely also considering offering video of programming highlights, internet exclusive reports compiled by CNBC reporters, or possibly even online feeds of various CNBC networks across the world (as indicated in a recent CNBC viewer survey)"  After emailing CNBC Europe, I got the following reply: ''' "CNBC Europe will be re-launching its website at the end off the year, which will open up a whole range of new viewing options. This will include the ability to watch CNBC Europe, CNBC US and CNBC Asia feeds via on-line streaming." ''' However I am not sure how to put this on the article as I am quoting an email and not a specific source. Any tips as to whether this would be possible to include or should it remain as it is?

Bill Wollman
Bill Wollman was CNBC:s chief economist some ten years ago or so. I don't know if he is still with the show or not, so I don't know which list to add him to on the page. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. 15:04, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Response to above; Bill Wollman has long been gone. Put on "Past" list. 199.82.243.74EJKnight

Cable-NBC?
At the last paragraph of "History of CNBC U.S."...

...NBC could also be used for its parent company, NBC Universal, with the "C" standing for "Cable". This is merely a colloquialism, although it was briefly referenced during the early 1990s when CNBC hired longtime NBC host Tom Snyder.

Should that be removed? Talk to ► Kevin 15:49, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Personalities
CNBC has two classes of on-air people. Most of CNBC's anchors are young, have no MBA, and have no business experience. Thankfully, CNBC does employ a few older people who know about business, but many of CNBC's anchors are lightweights.

The personalities section has become quite sprawling of late, meaning a list is now taking up a huge chunk of the article. Perhaps this could all be moved to a new article, "List of CNBC personalities" or similar? I notice that a similar format exists for ESPN, for example.Gr1st 09:10, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Fnn1.jpg
Image:Fnn1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

4:00am=4:30am
Can someone remove This Morning Business & Early Today, Morning Exchange! Early Today was never on CNBC it aired on NBC it was produced by CNBC. This Morning Business never aired on CNBC it was syndicated by CNBC. Morning Exchange didnt air at 4:00am. The first program at 4:00am was I believe Wake Up Call that aire there for a couple of months when they moved Squawk Box around & Worldwide Exchange.

Where did the link to "On the Money" Go?
It is no longer in the previous/cancelled programs section. Why was it taken away? It even has it's own wikipedia page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.235.251.198 (talk) 09:27, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Added. Gr1st (talk) 09:56, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It's in the weekday schedule history grid. Gr1st (talk) 10:01, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Criticism section
I just added the criticism section - I didn't want to go overboard with the citations, but I was also trying to avoid folks saying it was "scandalous fluff" or any such thing.

It also seemed like a logical step since lately the network has been getting a lot of flak (Daily Show, etc).

It originally stemmed from a discussion at Talk: Rick Santelli.Curious brain (talk) 18:15, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I was just thinking about that, as CNBC has come under a torrent of criticism lately, as exemplified by the Jon Stewart-Cramer fight. There is a separate article on that entitled Jim Cramer's appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, which is being considered for deletion. I have voted "merge" with James Cramer, but perhaps there should be a separate article entitled "Criticism of CNBC" and the Stewart stuff should go there. --JohnnyB256 (talk) 14:03, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

SAP
The CNBC HD+ section says when you change it to SAP it plays stuff from CNBC.com. When I press it all I hear is the audio from CNBC World. I have DirecTV. Is this a glitch? TomCat4680 (talk) 06:18, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

education comes first; I am CNT what i can assure you is just as you were hit so were they and my real educationaist role is to stop that from happening. 79.76.169.99 (talk) 21:36, 16 September 2009 (UTC)Qazim64

Tea Party
I added 'Tea Party Kickoff'. Given all the media attention to the 'Tea Party Movement', I thought the origin of the term (in this century) should be noted. I put it under 'CNBC.com' because it looked like the 'controversy' section, later realized it wasn't - perhaps there should be such a section, or perhaps there's a better place for my addition as it's not really controversial ('tho it could be since news organizations are supposed to report news, not make it).
