Strictly Money
Encyclopedia
Strictly Money was a business news programme aired on CNBC Europe
in the United Kingdom
and for domestic customers in the Republic of Ireland
, each weekday at 11:00am Western European Time
. It is normally presented by Ross Westgate
.
The programme was also aired in the US on CNBC World
at 6am ET.
. Originally intended as a twelve-week experiment, the programme appeared to have become a permanent fixture in the CNBC Europe schedule. While advertised as "strictly for the United Kingdom", the programme was in fact also broadcast on both the Sky Digital
and UPC Ireland
systems in the Republic of Ireland
, meaning that practically all domestic and a large proportion of commercial customers also in Ireland receive the programme. Outside of the UK and Ireland, Squawk Box
from CNBC
US is screened instead.
After the cancellation of Power Lunch Europe, many of the segments that used to appear on that program moved to Strictly Money, including the "Investor Clinic" and the "Halftime Report."
On the day each month when the bank lending rates are announced, the programme was retitled "Strictly Rates" and was extended to two hours due to the timing of the rates decisions - 1200 for the UK announcement and 1245 for the ECB announcement. The monthly edition of Strictly Rates is broadcast across Europe as well as in the UK and Ireland.
