[edit] History

  • Business Center was only a half hour program to replace The Money Club, aired from 7 to 7:30 PM ET in 1997.
  • In circa 2000, it was expanded to 60 minutes, aired from 6:30 to 7:30. It also started airing from the New York Stock Exchange.
  • In about 2001, it was expanded to 90 minutes, aired from 6 to 7:30.
  • In 2002, it was expanded again to 120 minutes, aired from 5 to 7PM.
  • In late 2002, 6:30 to 7PM timeslot was once replaced by Checkpoint CNBC with Martha MacCallum (and later replaced by Tom Costello), and Business Center was restored to 90 minutes.
  • Ultimately, both Checkpoint CNBC and Business Center were cancelled on December 5, 2003 as they were replaced by Kudlow & Cramer and Bullseye, respectively.
