CNBC to Air 'Markets in Turmoil' Special as Asian Markets Open Sunday - CNBC US - News on News
Following a tumultuous week on Wall Street, Standard and Poor's downgraded the US credit rating to AA+ late on Friday.
UPDATE ~ CNBC have announced that the show will now air between 8pm and 10pm ET, rather than the 9pm ET start time as previously reported.
The first time that the markets will get to react to the news will be late on Sunday, when the markets in Asia open for trading.
CNBC will be airing a live special at 8pm ET anchored by Maria Bartiromo and Bill Griffeth, looking at the week ahead with analysis and opinion from a panel of experts, and also live reports from Europe where concerns of a spreading debt crisis contributed to last week's downward movement in world markets.
The show will also feature live reports from Asia where the markets will be into their first few hours of trading, and will be the first markets to react to the US sovereign credit downgrade.
