About the show
This program focusses on the day's market action. In addition, prominent analysts, investors and executives regularly appear on the program to offer their perspective.
CNBC US
Street Signs was originally a two-hour programme that aired on CNBC from 1996 to 2002-02-01. It was cancelled effective 2002-02-04 and Power Lunch occupied its vacated slot as a result of CNBC's revamped programming line-up. On 2003-12-08, former Business Center co-anchor and original host Ron Insana revived Street Signs. And on March 2006, Squawk on the Street co-anchor Erin Burnett replaced Insana as the programme's new host. Burnett left CNBC on May 6, 2011. After Erin Burnett's departure from CNBC in May 2011, Amanda Drury (late of CNBC Asia) and Brian Sullivan (late of the Fox Business Network) became this program's new anchor team and they were to be the show's final anchors.
On October 13, 2014, Street Signs was launched in full 1080i high-definition as part of CNBC US' network-wide switch to a full 16:9 letterbox presentation.
One notable segment of the programme, which aired at 2:40pm ET, the Stop Trading! segment and was presented by Jim Cramer (host of another CNBC program, Mad Money). In this segment, which formerly aired on Closing Bell prior to 2006-09-11, the co-anchors asked Cramer about the stocks making news, and also asked him for his take on the day's markets. After the segment, a full-screen disclaimer was shown as Street Signs go to a commercial break. Cramer's "Stop Trading!" segment was moved to the end of the first hour of Squawk on the Street on February 9, 2015. Jim Cramer's on-air tirade about the weakening economy, which was seen during the "Stop Trading!" segment of this program on 2007-08-03, garnered widespread attention and helped galvanise the Federal Reserve Board to cut interest rates.
As of January 4, 2016, the European version of Street Signs is the only CNBC Europe program that is aired on CNBC's main US channel. Coincidentally (as previously mentioned), the US' own version of Street Signs aired its last show 11 months earlier, on February 6, 2015.
CNBC Asia
CNBC Asia's version of Street Signs debuted March 31, 2014, with Martin Soong and Oriel Morrison as co-anchors. Soong was previously a longtime co-anchor of Asia Squawk Box and Morrison was anchor of the now-cancelled Cash Flow. The background music for both the Asian and European versions is the same as CNBC Asia's The Rundown and CNBC US' Squawk Alley.
CNBC Europe
CNBC Europe's version of Street Signs debuted January 4, 2016. Airing in a one-hour format from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. CET, it replaced the first hour of Worldwide Exchange, which itself had its airtime halved to one hour. The CNBC Europe version of Street Signs is co-anchored by Carolin Roth and Louisa Bojesen. Roth was previously co-anchor of Worldwide Exchange and Bojesen was previously anchor of the now-cancelled European Closing Bell. Street Signs is also broadcast on CNBC's main U.S. channel from 4:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. ET.
