A rolling ticker (formally the "CNBC Ticker") and a stack (called by some people the "bug") provide real-time updates on share prices (NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX) and market indices, news summaries, and weather updates by AccuWeather. In the past, Phil Donahue, Tom Snyder, John McLaughlin, Charles Grodin and Morton Downey, Jr. all hosted CNBC shows.
In 2003, CNBC moved to a new headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. The new headquarters uses completely digital video production.
CNBC international channels
Outside of the United States, CNBC is operated as a joint venture between NBC Universal and Dow Jones & Company. They operate 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 US during the business day, and rebroadcast CNBC US' major business programmes. CNBC Europe and CNBC Asia programming can be seen on the cable channel CNBC World .
