| MUMBAI:
CNBC has announced a strategic collaboration with Singapore Exchange Limited (SGX)
to relocate CNBC Asia Pacific’s primary studio facility to the SGX building.
The
new studio facility will be operational in the second-quarter of 2010, the two
parties announced. CNBC
Asia president and MD Satpal Brainch says, “By relocating our primary studio
facility to the SGX, the financial hub of trade and transaction, we are best positioned
to access breaking business and financial news, as well as the opinion and business
leaders in this region." Located
at the second floor of the SGX Centre 1 building in Shenton Way, the new facility
will house CNBC’s primary multi-camera studio for the production of all of
CNBC Asia Pacific’s live business day programming and CNBC’s main production
control room (PCR) with direct connections to CNBC’s bureaus around the region.
“CNBC's
co-location at SGX underscores our role as an Asian Gateway, in providing access
to the region. SGX is pleased to partner CNBC, with its global reach, in our journey
to becoming a borderless exchange,” adds SGX CEO Hsieh Fu Hua. |
