CNBC Europe is a business and financial news channel broadcast in Europe. It is the European version of CNBC. It is operated by NBC Universal, and headquartered in London. As the fastest growing Pan European TV channel according to an EMS 2005 survey, the broadcaster reaches 215 million households worldwide.
Since 2005, CNBC Europe also publishes a monthly magazine called CNBC European Business, aimed at senior businessmen and business travellers.

CNBC Europe began broadcasts in March 1996, as a wholly owned subsidiary of NBC. On 9 December 1997, the channel announced that it would be merging with the Dow Jones news channel in Europe, European Business News. The merger took place in February 1998, upon which the channel then became known officially as "CNBC Europe - A Service of NBC and Dow Jones".
CNBC Europe has leaned generally on the US CNBC on-air graphical look in the past. However in May 2003, it revamped a number of its programmes (upon the departure of Emma Crosby), taking many of them away from the US formats. CNBC Europe re-launched its on-air image in September 2004, but instead of adapting the US title sequences for programmes, designed all of its title sequences itself from scratch (while still using the US music adopted in September 2003).
In July 2005, NBC Universal announced that it would be acquiring the Dow Jones stake in CNBC Europe, subject to required regulatory clearances. On 30 December 2005, CNBC Europe became a wholly owned subsidiary of NBC Universal. Dow Jones continues to provide content to the channel. On 1 January 2006, in line with this, the channel dropped the "A Service of NBC Universal and Dow Jones" tagline.
On 18 September 2006, CNBC Europe debuted a new graphics package, which is very similar to its US counterpart (first seen on CNBC US on 19 December 2005). Like CNBC Asia (which debuted a new graphics package of its own on 30 October 2006, in line with its Europe and US siblings), it has elected to keep the previous theme music, although unlike CNBC Asia, it has also elected to keep the opening title animations also.
The channel adopted a new schedule on 26 March 2007. Today's Business was replaced by Capital Connection, a show anchored by Steve Sedgwick in London and Maura Fogarty in Singapore. Europe Tonight was extended by 30 minutes to one hour and a repeat was added at 2300 CET. European Closing Bell was cut to one hour. New title sequences were given to Power Lunch Europe and Europe Tonight to coincide with changes to the form and content of those programmes, but unlike CNBC Asia, no other changes were made to the channel's on air look on this date (although Capital Connection uses CNBC Asia's new graphics rather than CNBC Europe's, as it is produced by that channel).
CNBC Europe produces live business day programming from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. CET, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., and from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. Broadcast live from London, the major business day programmes on CNBC Europe are:

During the business day, the CNBC Europe Ticker is displayed during both programmes and commercials, providing information on share prices from the leading European stock exchages. (This means that commercials on CNBC Europe are formatted differently to on most television channels, taking up only part of the screen). A stack (or bug) providing index and commodity prices was displayed in the bottom right hand corner of the screen until December 2005, when it was replaced with a strip across the top of the screen (in line with the other CNBC channels). The ticker was decreased in size at the same time.
Weekly programmes include: Europe This Week, McLaughlin Group, World Business, World Report, Business Russia, Change Reaction and Business Arabia as well as NBC talk show The Tonight Show, which airs nightly in an edited 30 minute version. Late Night with Conan O'Brien no longer airs nightly, but continues to appear at weekends alongside Tonight. At the weekends, CNBC Europe broadcasts sports programming such as golf and tennis under the heading of CNBC Sports, and the Sunday-morning interview show, Meet the Press. CNBC Europe also airs special programmes dedicated to the world of financial news and politics such as "Questions for the Future", "Media Talk" and "Global Players with Sabine Christiansen".
The channel occasionally carries the 24 hour MSNBC news channel overnight and more often during significant events, and on US or European public holidays. On European public holidays, extra US and Asian programming may be broadcast.

CNBC Europe is also narrowcast in London's black cabs on the Cabvision network.
In addition to its own programming, CNBC Europe also broadcasts live much of the business day programming of the United States CNBC channel. The programmes Squawk on the Street, Power Lunch (as of 26 March 2007), and Closing Bell are broadcast in their entirety, as well as the final two hours of Squawk Box, and the first hour of Morning Call. Wake Up Call was not normally broadcast (except on European bank holidays, and on the week in between the beginning of Summer Time in Europe and in the United States). Kudlow & Company is not now broadcast, Street Signs is now only broadcast on days of FOMC interest rate decisions, and Mad Money has never been broadcast on CNBC Europe, perhaps due to its content. While the US markets are open, the CNBC Europe Ticker is modified to carry US share prices. A break filler, consisting of HotBoards (CNBC's custom stock price graphs) is often broadcast during US programming, owing to the increased number of advertising breaks. In addition, during the evening, Europe Update is broadcast during some US ad breaks, during which Simon Hobbs (or Daniel Mann) presents a short run down of the European closing prices.
CNBC Asia programming is traditionally broadcast overnight. However CNBC Europe has in recent years preferred to broadcast teleshopping and poker programming in place of CNBC Asia, to the point when Asia Squawk Box is no longer broadcast most nights (except on Sunday), however both hours of CNBC's Cash Flow are shown. Other CNBC Asia business day programmes are not normally shown by CNBC Europe, except very occasionally on bank holidays. At weekends, Asia Market Week is shown. During CNBC Asia programmes (and Capital Connection), the CNBC Asia ticker is broadcast.
Generally CNBC Europe has not followed CNBC Asia's lead of broadcasting localised versions of its channels, preferring to concentrate on its pan-European feed. However there are a few exceptions.
There is a feed of CNBC Europe for Scandinavian countries called CNBC Nordic. It shows identical programmes to CNBC Europe but has a ticker focussing on Scandinavian stock exchanges.
CNBC Europe also operates the following local channels:
- CNBC-e, the Turkish version of CNBC. This is unique in the CNBC family, in that after business day hours, it broadcasts popular general entertainment programmes and films.
- Class CNBC (formerly CFN-CNBC), the Italian version of the network, operated in conjunction with Class Editori and Mediaset.
- CNBC Arabiya, the Arabic version of the channel.
