Capital Connection is a television business news programme aired every weekday on various CNBC channels around the world. It is broadcast live from both CNBC Asia's studios in Singapore and from CNBC Europe's studios in London. This programme, which is anchored by CNBC Asia's Maura Fogarty and CNBC Europe's Steve Sedgwick, is produced by CNBC Asia from Singapore.
The programme debuted on 2007-03-26 as a result of significant schedule changes at both networks. Billed as "the bridge between Asia and Europe", the show airs from noon to 1pm Hong Kong/Singapore/Taiwan Time on CNBC Asia (roughly the mid-point of the Asian trading day) and from 6am to 7am CET on CNBC Europe. The broadcast also airs on the CNBC World channel in the United States from midnight to 1am ET.

[edit] Format
The show features a round-up of the top Asian business stories thus far and a look ahead to the corporate and economic news expected in Europe. CNBC reporters in both continents also contribute to the show. This format is very similar to the one used on Worldwide Exchange.
Correspondents from Asia usually appear on the first half of the show while those from Europe come-in on the second half of the show.
[edit] History
Capital Connection replaced Today's Business (also hosted by Sedgwick), an early morning pre-market programme originating from CNBC Europe which also aired on CNBC Asia and CNBC World.
Prior to Capital Connection, another show anchored from two continents was Market Watch (later renamed Global Market Watch). Unlike Capital Connection, this show was produced by CNBC Europe. It was originally anchored by Geoff Cutmore from London and Cecilia Zecha from Singapore but it was later hosted exclusively from London by Simon Hobbs. The show ended its run in early 2001.
[edit] Quotes
This was the programme's opening quote by Steve Sedgwick on its debut broadcast on 2007-03-26:
“Good morning Europe, good afternoon Asia.”
This is the programme's current opening quote used by both anchors:
“Good morning from Europe, I'm Steve Sedgwick.” “And good afternoon from Asia, I'm Maura Fogarty.”
[edit] Market holidays
On Asian bank holidays, CNBC Europe has the option of producing the program instead, as occurred on 2008-02-08. Alternatively, the show is simply not aired.
