Format


Original format (December 19, 2005-March 11, 2011)

The original program format began with the three anchors,

. The top business stories in each continent were then narrated in turn. The first half-hour also featured the program's signature segment, the fast-paced "Global Stock Watch". Breaking news on European economic data was frequently covered 30 minutes into the show, and was followed by instant analysis with a guest. The remainder of the original program format consisted largely of a mix of business headlines (which were then repeated in the second hour), interviews with guests, and issue-specific dispatches from CNBC reporters. Caruso-Cabrera left on October 19, 2007, and was replaced by

Second format (March 28, 2011-May 11, 2012)

On March 28, 2011, ''Worldwide Exchange'' underwent a major overhaul. The first 50 minutes of the program were initially broadcast from Asia and Europe, with the US leg of the show starting at 50 minutes past the first hour. The three anchors were together for just 20 minutes, from :50 past the first hour to :10 past the second hour. Also, the Asian leg of ''Worldwide Exchange'' was no longer featured after :10 past the second hour, to which the show was broadcast only from Europe and the United States from that point forward. Additionally, during this period, the second hour of ''Worldwide Exchange'' was not broadcast on CNBC Asia. Following Lapin's departure from the network, Jackie DeAngelis (who was previously a correspondent in CNBC's

studios) became the US presenter until May 11, 2012 (''see below'').


Third format (May 14, 2012-December 31, 2015)

''Worldwide Exchange'' underwent an overhaul on May 14, 2012, with the addition of

as co-anchor. In another major tweak, the show was then broadcast entirely from Europe. At that point, there were no longer Asian and U.S. anchors, due in part to Tan's and DeAngelis' departures from the show, leaving Ross Westgate as the last original anchor. The program later launched new titles and reduced to a single location with the program being solely presented from

Graphics

Then-program producer CNBC Europe developed a new graphic style for the launch of the show on 2005-12-19, similar to that introduced across CNBC US on the same date. These graphics were initially used only on ''Worldwide Exchange'', before being rolled out to all other CNBC Europe programs on 2006-09-18 and were used through 2008-01-04. The previous

s, which were first used across CNBC US on 2006-12-19, were used on ''Worldwide Exchange'' (and all other CNBC Europe programs) from 2008-01-07 to 2009-07-24. The programme's previous graphics package, which included a new intertitle and a new voiceover introduction (but retaining the lower thirds from 28 July 2009 to 26 February 2010), debuted 14 December 2009. The graphics package for this and all of the other CNBC Europe programmes, including the new lower thirds, debuted 1 March 2010 to 11 May 2012. This new graphic style also debuted on CNBC US that same day. Started from 14 May 2012, CNBC Europe developed a new graphic style of the show until 6 March 2015. On 13 October 2014, the CNBC regional tickers on this show switched from a Klavika typeface font to a Gotham typeface font, with the on-screen bug being moved to the lower right of the screen. ''Worldwide Exchange'' launched new titles - including the programme's new logo (which replaced variations of the original that were used since its 19 December 2005 debut) - as well as new theme music (which is the same as CNBC US' ''Options Action'') and a new graphic style based on the US network's version on 9 March 2015. CNBC Europe itself (which originally produced ''Worldwide Exchange'' as previously mentioned) debuted the new graphics for this and all of that network's other programmes on the same day. The graphics were changed slightly on January 4, 2016, when CNBC US took over production, coinciding with the show's relocation to the network's Global Headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. The colour changed from green-blue to orange-blue (the same as the original ''Squawk Box'' logo).


Tickers

The respective regional tickers are retained in each of the channels during the broadcast, except for CNBC World, which features the CNBC Europe ticker to show that the programme is produced by the said network. CNBC HD (formerly CNBC HD+) used to show the CNBC Europe ticker until August 8, 2011.

Market holidays

On European bank holidays, CNBC Asia sometimes produced the programme, for example on 26 December 2007, 24 March 2008 and 6 April 2010. On April 9, 2012, CNBC Asia produced the first hour of ''Worldwide Exchange'', with the second hour produced by CNBC US. Alternatively, the show is simply not aired (as is the case on Christmas Day, New Year's Day and Good Friday). When the US markets were closed for a holiday while the Asian and European markets are open, ''Worldwide Exchange'' was originally broadcast live from Asia and Europe (similar to ''
