However, as early as November 1995, it was reported that NBC and Dow Jones were considering a merger of their business news channels in Asia and Europe, including ABN and its European counterpart,
European Business News (EBN).

Merger with ABN
Renewed negotiations between NBC and Dow Jones surfaced in November 1997 amid financial difficulties at the companies' Asian and European operations. Dow Jones had been operating at a loss of US$48 million, and CNBC at $40 million.
On 10 December 1997, Dow Jones and NBC announced a 15-year strategic partnership, under which ABN and EBN would merge with CNBC Asia and CNBC Europe, respectively, and CNBC US would be able to enter into editorial partnerships with Dow Jones publications such as ''

''.
The merged operation would retain the CNBC branding, but be overseen by Paul France,
and relocate to ABN's Singapore studios—resulting in layoffs of 150 employees from its Hong Kong bureau.
The merger took effect on-air on 2 February 1998, with the channel being rebranded as CNBC–Asia Business News for a transitional period.
Citing cost issues and a plan to focus exclusively on Asian business news, simulcasts of CNBC US programmes were dropped from its overnight schedule in favour of reruns of domestic programmes. After the decision was poorly received by viewers, CNBC's U.S. business day programmes were reinstated in March.
The merger impacted ABN's Indian network, ABNi, which was a joint venture with Hinduja Group and

CNBC Asia's ticker was also reformatted on that day to include colours reflecting change in the stock prices (green for an increase and red for a decrease) and a stock's ticker symbol.
In 2001, CNBC Asia introduced localised tickers to audiences in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore and has since kept the ticker on the screen during commercial breaks.
In July 2001, ''Asia Squawk Box'' was further extended to three hours and more programming hours from

The following month, CNBC launched ''
Worldwide Exchange'', a new international business program that would be simulcast across CNBC in Asia, Europe, and the United States.
CNBC Asia also launched two brand new shows that replaced ''Market Watch'' and the CNBC Europe programme ''Today's Business;'' ''
CNBC's Cash Flow'', anchored by

On 22 July 2024, CNBC Asia updated its on-air presentation and branding to match the new CNBC US branding that was first introduced on 11 December 2023.
On 7 April 2025, CNBC Asia revamped its programming schedule, introducing new shows ''US Markets Edition'' (airing prior to ''Squawk Box Asia'' to provide a recap of the previous American trading day), and new regional programmes ''The China Connection'', ''Inside India'', and ''Access Middle East.''
