What to know about it

Launched in 1989 as a business channel, and moved to Versant Media Group in the 2025 spin-off of Comcast's cable networks. Its programming is oriented to markets during trading hours and to broader business coverage after.

It is the default channel on trading floors and its interviews with executives and policymakers make news. Critics argue that a channel built around market movement rewards urgency over accuracy, and that its guests, largely people with positions to talk up, are rarely disinterested.
