it was officially announced by the NASDAQ that production of Squawk Box would be relocated to the NASDAQ MarketSite studio in Times Square; it began broadcasting from there on January 3, 2017. That same studio is also shared with CNBC's two other shows, Fast Money and Options Action (the latter airing on Fridays only; both shows are hosted by Melissa Lee). On November 15, 2017, Squawk Box moved downstairs to a new street-level studio overlooking Times Square, also at the NASDAQ MarketSite. On October 30, 2019, Squawk Box renovated its set at the NASDAQ MarketSite. The curved desk was replaced with a round anchor desk, a setup similar to the one the show had used when it aired from CNBC's Englewood Cliffs studios. New graphics and music were also introduced. Show times The program airs from 6 a.m. until 9 a.m. Eastern Time in the United States. It is relayed in its entirety live on CNBC Europe although it is sometimes partially pre-empted for local programming, particularly to cover European Central Bank interest rate announcements and the subsequent press conferences. In Asia, the show is aired in its entirety on CNBC Asia from Mondays to Fridays (vary between time to time during U.S. Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time). Also, it can be air in New Zealand from Tuesdays to Saturdays during Daylight Saving Time when U.S. is on Eastern Standard Time. Spin-offs Squawk Box Weekend Edition CNBC once aired Squawk Box Weekend Edition weekends from 7:30 to 8 pm ET during c. 1999 to 2000, also hosted by Mark Haines. Worldwide Squawk Box Around CNBC's global branches, there are many "Squawk Boxes" in the world: Among the above, Squawk Box Europe and Asia Squawk Box are the counterparts which resemble the original Squawk Box the most: They are all three hours in duration. They all have a guest host appearing on the show, mostly after the first hour. In addition, Maria Bartiromo has served as a guest co-anchor on both Squawk Box Europe and Asia Squawk Box. (Karen Tso moved to the Asian version of Squawk Box (and was based in Singapore) and after Amanda Drury briefly replaced Tso on Squawk Australia, Oriel Morrison moved into that role in 2010 while Drury is now based in CNBC World Headquarters in the U.S.). Tso moved to the European version of Squawk Box after joining CNBC Europe in 2011. Fantasy Portfolio
