Overview

The Rundown launched on March 31, 2014. It was one of the two programs that replaced Cash Flow, with Street Signs being the other.

The program provided real-time financial market coverage and business information for the start of the Asia trading day. The program features a range of guests from top financial institutions around the world, as well as guests from CNBC's global headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, N.J., and reports from CNBC and NBC News bureaus worldwide.[2]

Show presenters

On December 24, 2015, Adam Bakhtiar left CNBC Asia, leaving Pauline Chiou as the sole presenter of The Rundown. On October 3, 2016, Correspondent Akiko Fujita replaced Chiou as anchor.[3]

As of February 2018, correspondent Dan Murphy replaced Fujita as anchor, after the latter was appointed co-host of Asia Squawk Box, which is based in Hong Kong.[4]

Cancellation

The Rundown was cancelled on October 26, 2018. As a result, Asia Squawk Box was moved back to the 6-9am SIN/HK time slot and the Asia version of Street Signs was expanded to three hours.
