CNBC-e is a Turkish free-to-air television channel operated in Turkey by Versant and İlbak Holding since 10 June 2024. Formerly, the channel with the same name was operated by NBCUniversal and the Doğuş Media Group between 2000 and 2015. In 1995, Hakan Çizem launched Kanal E, Turkey's first channel dedicated to economic news. Korkmaz Yiğit, the owner of Kanal 6, one of Turkey's first private channels, acquired Kanal E in 1998, along with Yeni Yüzyıl, Ateş, and Milliyet newspapers, to expand his media center. However, Yiğit's legal troubles in the late 1990s forced him to sell all his media properties, mostly back to their original owners. Kanal E was later sold to Doğuş Group, which also owned the continuous news channel NTV. Seeking to promote the channel using a globally recognized brand, Doğuş Holding partnered with NBC Universal, the owner of CNBC, to rebrand Kanal E as CNBC-e, with 50% ownership by NBC Universal and the remainder by Doğuş Holding. CNBC-e divided its programming into daytime and evening segments. From 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM local time, CNBC-e targeted professionals and individual investors with real-time access to economic and market information. From 6:00 PM onwards, it aired series from American TV channels like FOX, HBO, The CW, ABC, NBC, and CBS, along with feature films, either with original subtitles or Turkish dubbing.
