CNBC Arabiya (Arabic: CNBC عربية‎) is the Arab world's first and only 24-hour Arabic language financial and business information channel, presenting in-depth and up-to-the-minute coverage of regional and international affairs from an Arab economic perspective.

CNBC Arabiya uses a three band ticker with the upper and central band for stocks and the lower band for news. Also CNBC Africa and Class-CNBC use a similar ticker, not used on CNBC-e after the graphic change on January 2007. The bug is equal to CNBC Europe's: the 1st box shows Arabian Indices, 2nd box not Arabian Indices (Australasia, Asia, Europe, USA), 3rd box Forex and Commodities.

From 12 Midnight CET to 5AM CET the network show on the ticker with Latin Alphabet Asian Markets and Arabian Markets Wrap, from 5AM CET to 12 Midnight CET CNBC Arabiya shows Arabian Markets with Arabian Alphabet.

CNBC Arabiya broadcasts normally on weekdays (following the Islamic week from Saturday to Thursday) with 15 minutes segments. Each break, shows a sponsored Market HotBoard, while before the start of a program the network may air a non-sponsored Hotboard.
