This is a list of channels broadcast under the CNBC brand (formerly Consumer News and Business Channel) by NBCUniversal and its affiliates around the world. Following on from the original United States-based channel, launched in 1989, European and Asian versions were established in 1995 and 1996 respectively.[1] Since then, sub-continental and local language versions of the channel have been created in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, many under a licensing agreement. At present, sixteen distinct CNBC channels exist worldwide, of which seven are wholly owned by NBCUniversal and a further nine have NBCUniversal as a minority stakeholder or a licensor. A further channel, the Korean language operated SBS-CNBC, began broadcasting on December 28, 2009, in conjunction with Seoul Broadcasting System.[2][3] Later, the Indonesian Language operated CNBC Indonesia, is launched in 2018 in conjunction with Trans Media.[4][5]
