The history of CNBC
The history of CNBC dates back to the early days of cable television when it was a joint venture between NBC and Tele-Communications Inc. (TCI). The channel aired on August 17, 1987, focusing on financial news. In the early 1990s, CNBC expanded its programming to include more business and economic coverage.
In 1996, NBC sold its stake in the channel to TCI, which eventually became Comcast in 2002. At this point, CNBC rebranded itself as MSNBC, taking on a more liberal perspective to compete with Fox News Channel. In 2011, Comcast sold MSNBC to General Electric for $30 million.
Today, CNBC is one of the most popular cable networks, with over 3 million subscribers. It broadcasts from studios in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, employing around 300 people worldwide.
