Anchor Change and Program Revamp
In August 2008, CNBC announced that Karen Tso from Channel Nine will be joining the network as its new Australia-based anchor. She anchored Squawk Australia and provided market updates into all of CNBC's pan-Asian and Australian programming.
Tso debuted in October 2008 when she replaced original anchor Jeffrey James. To coincide with the anchor change and program revamp, Squawk Australia also moved to a new studio.
The show was last anchored by Amanda Drury. Amanda was an anchor on two of CNBC Asia Pacific’s signature morning business programs: Asia Squawk Box and CNBC’s Cash Flow. She has had 10 years’ experience as a financial and business TV journalist in Singapore, Tokyo and New York, and was previously based in the CNBC Australia headquarters in Sydney. She was reassigned to the network's US studios in 2010.

As full to the gunnel of flowers growing
As ever she turned her home with cod
From Georges Bank when winds were blowing.”
