CNBC Launches World Markets Live

London. 04 May 2016. CNBC International today announced its latest digital innovation, World Markets Live. The live blog, produced from CNBC's London headquarters, will provide financial and business news updates throughout the European trading day.

In addition to breaking news, data alerts and earnings reports, World Markets Live will include exclusive content from CNBC International's anchors, including Squawk Box Europe hosts Steve Sedgwick, Karen Tso and Geoff Cutmore.

Running from Monday to Friday 07:00 - 17:30 CET, the live digital destination aims to provide CNBC's elite audience of global business leaders and investors the best of CNBC's programmes as well as what's happening on CNBC.com and social media.

Phillip Tutt, Managing Digital Editor at CNBC International said:

"World Markets Live is the latest digital innovation from CNBC as we look to diversify the way we deliver our news. Our audience are telling us they want a live digital companion which can keep them up to date with all the market movements no matter where they are – we've therefore launched World Markets Live. Our previous live blog, Squawk Box Live, was a huge success so we're looking forward to being able to provide the service throughout the European trading day."

World Markets Live will be managed by a team of reporters in CNBC International's London headquarters. CNBC recently brought Spriha Srivastava on board to help manage the blog. Spriha joins CNBC International from the Financial Times Money Management magazine.
