CNBC Arabia’s new line-up

CNBC’s Arabic-language service has relaunched to include a dozen new programming streams. It is dumping some of its non-stop business coverage, and turning to a more creative and interactive broadcast schedule.

CNBC Arabia celebrates its fifth anniversary this year, and says the aim of the new programming is to improve the viewer experience through relevant, high-quality journalism, in-depth analysis and first-rate coverage of issues and events and also to encourage viewers to interact with the station via phone and email.

The dedication to arenas such as women in business, the environment and private equity comes as the station moves to a more creative and interactive program schedule. “We are experiencing an era of economic change for businesses, markets and funds in the Middle East. Through the relaunch, we will provide innovative content for our viewers offering a fresh, new perspective," said Steven Hall, CEO.
