Squawk Box Europe (since May 2011, billed on-screen as just Squawk Box) is a television business news programme on CNBC Europe, aired from 7-10am CET (6-9am WET) each weekday. It also airs on CNBC Asia between 2.00 p.m.-5.00 p.m. Hong Kong / Singapore time (1.00 p.m.-4.00 p.m. with DST), and in the United States on CNBC World at the respective time, 1:00 a.m. - 4:00 a.m., ET. The programme is currently co-anchored by Geoff Cutmore, Steve Sedgwick and Karen Tso. Prior to June 2003, the programme ran for only two hours, between 7.00 to 9.00 UK time but later gained an hour from Today's Business.
Squawk Box Europe was in existence prior to CNBC Europe's merger with European Business News. Like the current version, the original version took viewers to the opening of the European markets. This version was hosted by Nigel Roberts. After the merger, it was replaced by Europe Today for more than a year before being revived. Between this point, and a relaunch in September 2004, it was known by the fuller title of CNBC Europe Squawk Box. In September 2004, CNBC Europe relaunched all of its programming, using titles and graphics inspired by (but unlike the previously set, not directly derived from) CNBC US' look at the time. From this point, until December 2008, the show's theme music was an edited version of its US' counterpart's theme music between 2003-2005.
On 1 December 2008, Squawk Box Europe was relaunched with a new look, logo, and music. The new look was not based on CNBC US' Squawk Box look, but has been designed specially for Squawk Box Europe. Louisa Bojesen and Steve Sedgwick, previously reporters, were promoted to full co-presenters of the programme at this point, and the "News Update" segments, which had been axed by CNBC Europe some years previously, returned.
