CNBC's On the Money, hosted by Carmen Wong Ulrich, is a television program that focuses primarily on personal finance, a programming departure from CNBC's "investor focused" weekday programming.

The show premiered on October 10, 2005 with Dylan Ratigan as host. Ratigan was replaced by Melissa Francis in 2007 and remained on CNBC's schedule until October 5, 2007. On September 27, it was announced that the program would be removed from the schedule effective October 10, due in part to low ratings, but the last edition was aired on October 5.

The program was completely revamped and relaunched on August 4, 2008 featuring new CNBC personality Carmen Wong Ulrich The program is now more of a financial advice show, similar to The Suze Orman Show.

On the Money was reduced from a daily 10pm program, to a single Saturday night airing (at 8pm ET) effective June 1, 2009. On August 25, 2009, CNBC announced that it would be canceling the program for the second time, shifting resources to their more successful documentary unit.

This program is not to be confused with the current series On the Money produced by CNBC for broadcast syndication. That series was retitled as On the Money with Maria Bartiromo in January 2013 from The Wall Street Journal Report after the end of the NBC/Dow Jones partnership deal, then cut down to the first part of the title upon Bartiromo's departure from CNBC in late November 2013 for Fox Business Network.

In its original format, On the Money wrapped up the day's news from the worlds of business and everyday life, took a closer look at the money in every story. On the Money literally followed the money through everything from breaking news to politics, to pop culture, and even sports.

In the current format, Carmen Wong Ulrich gives financial advice and takes viewers' phone calls as well as viewers' Emails. This format is similar to The Suze Orman Show (which airs Saturday nights on CNBC).
