The
business news channel is planning to launch two new shows which
includes Trading Matters and Australia This Week
to be anchored by Australian business news journalist Oriel Morrison.
Morrison was formerly with the Nine Network, Sky News, Channel
7 and Bloomberg.
The
Trading Matters will provide Australian investors with
real time, actionable information on local share and market performance
with access to the country's investors and money managers- revealing
the inside track on opportunities for both the institutional and
retail investor. While the half hour show Australia This Week
will screen a summary of the key events after the close of trade
that shaped the week - deals, market and policy decisions.
CNBC
Asia Pacific president and managing director Jeremy Pink said,"CNBC
has enjoyed tremendous growth in Asia Pacific this year. These
new Australian initiatives are part of a significant investment
that we have committed to further expanding in the region."
CNBC
Asia Pacific director, news and programming John Casey said, "We
take our business seriously because there is nothing more important
than getting it right when people's money is on the line. 60 per
cent of CNBC's viewers act on the accurate and unbiased information
they get from us so we are sure CNBC's new initiatives will resonate
with the business and investing communities, both in Australia,
and also around in the region."
