CNBC on Freesat from 23 February

CNBC advise as follows:

“CNBC today confirmed that its signal is now available free-to-air for direct-to-home satellite users in the UK, increasing the channel’s distribution to more than 11 million UK households.



“Our decision to become a free-to-air channel in the UK is part of our strategy to aggressively grow our distribution across EMEA in 2010.



“Businesses receiving the channel and re-distributing it to multiple users are still required to have a viewing licence from CNBC.”

Have they said anything about joining the Freesat EPG?

No but surely it's inevitable.

Joins Freesat next week ....

Starts on Freesat tomorrow (Tuesday) channel 210.

Does anyone know when CNBC stopped showing the NBC Nightly News? Is it permanent?

I think it will be back after the Winter Olympics. CNBC Europe does not have coverage rights.

Yes, I seem to recall it disappearing during previous Olympics too. I've got it on series link on Sky and it shows it as re-starting on Monday night.

I guess this is also the reason why they are now available in Livestation in Europe, Europe & US hours only though.
