The feed is alternating between CNBC World and CNBC US.  This morning it was CNBC World (not Good) eventually it was changed to CNBC US (good).  It has now reverted back to CNBC World (Not Good).

I called Bell and it was painful. No clue what I was talking about. I simply said that CNBC is extremely popular. I told her "I watch it everyday so I'll hang up but you will receive many more calls on this so perhaps you should let someone above your pay grade know". Anyway live streaming on my computer now. So irritating!

Can you share what your backup is, so that other users can be aware?

You can livestream on your computer if you pay a subscription fee to CNBC of USD9.99/mo

I'd rather not as big brother may be watching or in our case big mother (Ma Bell) 😞

Last couple years this feed was always switched to CNBC World Feed at 7PM. What is going on. In the guide, it literally says Squak Box Asia but the feed does not match. PLEASE FIX GUYS!!! PLEASE restore squak box asia CNBC World feed !!!

Good Day & Welcome.

The Bell Fibe TV guide is compiled and managed by Bell Canada itself, specifically its subsidiary Bell Media Inc.

Bell sources its TV guide data from third-party electronic program guide (EPG) providers and distributes it to your receiver. Bell itself does not manually prepare the individual show listings.

Last evening, CNBC substituted Squak Box for Shark Tank in the 7:00pm time slot on Fibe TV 1509.

No explanation to offer up. I can only speculate that last minute scheduling & programming changes or pre-emptions were inserted by CNBC.

Take care.

Thank you for your concern. The CNBC feed is not controlled by Bell and as @WelshTerrier has said, the guide information is not provided by or controlled by Bell. Your expression of concern should be directed to CNBC regarding the changes to their feed.

This CNBC broadcast problem is happening again? Dec 16, 2025 7.34 should be Squawk Box but is CNBC World. Happens too often.

FWIW I think it's a CNBC problem not a Bell problem.  A couple of sites that show CNBC (my backups) are blank 🙂 I guess I'm off to Bloomberg and BNNBloomberg 😞

I understand your frustration. As has been said before, this is not a Bell issue but happening upstream from Bell. You will need to contact CNBC directly as they are the only ones who can address the issue.

My backup websites are now showing CNBC (NY) so Bell should be able to get the proper feed.  I can understand switching to  CNBC World when NY was down but now it's up and running so they should be able to get the right feed.  It's also a channel I watch most. 🙂
