CNBC Asia runs a ticker providing information from major Asian stock exchanges, as well as US and Europe recaps, on screen during business day programmes. CNBC Asia's on-air look was revamped on October 30, 2006, aligning its graphics package to that of CNBC US and CNBC Europe. However, they elected to keep the theme music the same as the previous graphics package.
