The primary operations are CNBC Europe from London and CNBC Asia from Hong Kong and Singapore. A number of local CNBC services (in local langauges) also exist, including versions in Japanese (NIKKEI CNBC) and Turkish (CNBC-e). The international CNBC services provide the same type of programming as CNBC U.S. during the business day, and some of them rebroadcast CNBC U.S.'s major business programmes. There also exist some services which are only minor varients of the main CNBC Europe or CNBC Asia services, such as CNBC Nordic in Scandanavia or CNBC Australia. Often the only variations from the main service are a localised ticker or a daily local programme.
