Capital Connection (TV Series)
Capital Connection is a television business news programme aired every weekday on various CNBC channels around the world. It is broadcast live from both CNBC Asia's studios in Singapore and from CNBC Europe's studios in London. This programme, which is anchored by CNBC Asia's Chloe Cho and CNBC Europe's Rebecca Meehan, is produced by CNBC Asia from Singapore. A third co-anchor, Yousef Gamal El-Din, joined the show from the network's newly-opened Bahrain studio on 14 June 2010. Originally, this leg of the show was only featured from Monday to Thursday, but was later featured every weekday from February 2011 to November 2011, when the Bahrain leg was discontinued altogether. As a result, Capital Connection reverted back to two continents (Asia and Europe).
The programme debuted on 2007-03-26 as a result of significant schedule changes at both networks. Billed as "the bridge between Asia and Europe", the show airs from noon to 1pm Hong Kong/Singapore/Taiwan Time (1pm to 2pm when Europe is not on Daylight Saving Time) on CNBC Asia (roughly the midpoint of the Asian trading day) and from 6am to 7am CET on CNBC Europe. The broadcast also airs on the CNBC World channel in the United States weekdays from midnight to 1am ET.

Famous quotes containing the words capital and/or connection:
“It is a bore, I admit, to be past seventy, for you are left for execution, and are daily expecting the death-warrant; but ... it is not anything very capital we quit. We are, at the close of life, only hurried away from stomach-aches, pains in the joints, from sleepless nights and unamusing days, from weakness, ugliness, and nervous tremors; but we shall all meet again in another planet, cured of all our defects.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
“We live in a world of things, and our only connection with them is that we know how to manipulate or to consume them.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
