CNBC Asia is a Singapore-based business news channel owned by the NBCUniversal Media Group, a subsidiary of Comcast. It is a pan-Asian branch of the U.S.-based CNBC.

The channel initially launched on 20 June 1997 out of Hong Kong. In 1998, the channel merged with Dow Jones' Asia Business News and re-located to its facilities in Singapore. The network maintains bureaus across the Asia–Pacific region.
