CNBC

If you are not media savvy, completely uneducated and like to listen to people who have paid-for opinions (chequebook journalism), then please, please feel free to watch CNBC. If you are the sort of person who likes to watch people comment on issues that they have little idea about, then go ahead and watch CNBC, because you will see a lot of that there. If you like to watch TV presents screaming a lot, then go ahead and watch it. What tipped me over to actually go and write this review was an excellent segment that I recently saw on the internet where the issue of a wild camel cull in Australia was brought up. The stock trader ...  Read the complete review

CNBC is one of the few English speaking channels I have here on Polish cable, anyone flicking through would be forgiven for taking a dim view at English speaking media if they based their opinion on this rubbish.

A great feature is the 'ticker' which brings you real time prices of the ...  Read the complete review

Another channel that got me curious I had a look at this when I came home from work and have to admit I couldn’t make head or tail of what was going on. If you are into financial dealings stocks and shares then you’re in for a wild ride if you are like me and this bores you totally senseless the I advise you to stop watching I did. I remember this on analogue as NBC it had some nice sports programmes on then but its all change now. There are other programmes on a night and to be honest I have never checked them out some my rating reflects this I wouldn’t recommend this channel to anybody I found it boring. ...  Read the complete review

I suppose there is a niche market for this sort of thing, if you happen to be a city whizz kid with a penchant for watching business programmes from an American perspective - to me, it was about as interesting as watching the proverbial paint dry! It is an offshoot of the giant U S network NBC, and I was hoping that more of NBC's programming would be shown on it. Suffice to say, if I earned a dollar every time during the day "Wall Street" is mentioned, I would be rich enough to want to watch! ...  Read the complete review
