It is also seen in the United States on the CNBC World channel at 6:00pm ET (with Daylight Saving Time) or 5:00pm ET (without DST).

[edit] About the show
Squawk Australia premiered on CNBC Asia on March 26, 2007 as part of the Asia firm's significant programming overhaul. It replaced the first hour of Asia Squawk Box, which is now seen an hour later. The show looks ahead to the Australian trading day with locally-based analysts and fund managers, as well as recapping overnight trade in the U.S. and providing currency and world news updates. Weather forecasts are provided by NBC Weather Plus. CNBC reporter Sri Jegarajah frequently contributes to the program from Singapore.
The program was initially broadcast from a camera position in the General Electric offices near the Sydney Harbour Bridge as an interim measure. A move to a new studio in the Burns Philp building, adjacent to the Australian Stock Exchange, took place in October 2007 as the network expanded its Australian output. This was three months later than originally planned.[1][2]
[edit] Market holidays
On days when Australian markets close for a holiday, but other Asian markets remain open, CNBC Asia pre-empts Squawk Australia, instead extending Asia Squawk Box to 4 hours, the longest time for the show ever. This was first seen on April 9, 2007.
