Format
The daily program consists of reports on the changes in the stock market, indices, and stocks of note for the day, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average, NASDAQ, the S&P 500, and other major markets, as well as interviews with important business persons, generally CEOs of major companies as well as economists, market analysts and policy makers. Programs on market holidays depart from this format, and often deal with a single subject or theme. For example, the New Year's Day program often deals with a review of the markets during the previous year and a preview of the markets in the New Year; the Independence Day program often deals with a review of the markets at mid-year and a preview of the markets for the remainder of that year. The program often concludes with a commentary. Segments within the program include Market Monitor, Street Critique, Women in Leadership, and Planet Forward to name a few. There was a 15-minute morning version of NBR called Morning Business Report during the mid-1990s.
