CNBC-TV18 launches new series ‘CNBC Bizography’
MUMBAI: English business news channel CNBC-TV18 is set to launch a new weekly series, CNBC Bizography, starting 14 August.
The new show, which will air every Saturday at 7 pm, will go inside the stories of empire builders, titans and winners – people who make a career of turning the ‘unthinkable’ into reality, the channel said.
It will feature profiles of George Foreman, Ted Turner, Hugh Hefner, Donald Trump, Merv Griffin, Quincy Jones, Proctor & Gamble, Target and Southwest Airlines.
CNBC-TV18 head marketing Saket Saurabh said, “The Bizography series is quite unique compared to other documentaries due to its solitary focus on business icons, who epitomised innovation and challenged conventions. The series puts the spotlight on inspirational leaders whose second calling in life in effect became their first and through a powerful narrative it depicts their remarkable journey.”
In its first episode, CNBC Bizography focuses on the life of the Heywood Giant – ‘George Foreman’, his remarkable journey of poverty in the streets of Houston to reclaiming his title as the heavyweight world boxing champion to turning into a philanthropist and an entrepreneur, with his George Foreman Grill venture.
