Today's Business (CNBC Europe)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Today's Business is a business news programme aired on CNBC Europe between 5am and 6am, Western European Time. The programme was originally based on the CNBC U.S. morning programme Today's Business, which was later replaced by the programme Wake-Up Call. Nowadays, the European Today's Business is presented by Steve Sedgwick.

The programme, affectionately referred to by presenters as "TBiz", features a look ahead to the day. Segments include a review of yesterday's business, a news headlines round-up, as well as early results. The programme also links up with CNBC Asia for continuing coverage of the Asian session.

The programme replaced the similarly titled Today's Business Europe in May 2003. While the title was only slightly altered, the programme was reduced from two hours to one (with the then-titled CNBC Europe Squawk Box gaining an hour). Today's Business Europe had been presented on front of the video wall, the new programme (initially anchored by Guy Johnson and Serena Al-Awa, who has since left CNBC Europe) was presented from the desk.
