[edit] About the show

The CNBC US program Closing Bell airs on CNBC between 3pm and 5pm, Eastern Time. The program is dual-anchored by Maria Bartiromo and Dylan Ratigan (who reports from the New York Stock Exchange) between 3-4pm. During the 4-5pm ET block, Maria anchors solo (as per her contract). Tyler Mathisen was the former co-host from 3-4pm, until he was promoted to an off-camera job (CNBC managing editor) in 2005.

The program covers the last hour of trade in the US stock markets, covering the closing bells of the NYSE and NASDAQ Stock Market at 4pm. Bob Pisani provides live reports from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Scott Wapner provides live reports from the NASDAQ. Like the "Opening Bell Countdown" segment on Squawk on the Street (which takes viewers to the opening bell), the "Closing Countdown" segment on this program (which takes viewers to the closing bell) also uses a countdown clock on the graphics' lower-third of the screen.

After 4 pm, there is analysis of the day's winners and losers, company results that are issued after the close of trade, and other business news.

[edit] CNBC Asia

As the major Asian markets all close at different times there is no "Asian Closing Bell". The equivalent programme is Worldwide Exchange, which replaced Asia Market Wrap on December 19, 2005.
