[edit] About the program

Until 2007-07-19, CNBC aired Morning Call from 10AM to 12 noon ET weekdays. On 2007-07-20, CNBC replaced the first hour of the two-hour program with an expanded Squawk on the Street, due in part to Liz Claman's departure from the network[1] (she joined the Fox Business Network three months later). The program was completely revamped on 2007-07-23 and re-named The Call on 2007-08-07, with Dylan Ratigan and Trish Regan serving as interim anchors. Ratigan (live from the New York Stock Exchange), Regan and Melissa Francis were appointed permanent co-anchors as of 2007-10-08. In addition to the aforementioned July 2007 revamp, the anchors are now joined on set by a guest contributor, very similar to Squawk Box.

Regular reporters include Bob Pisani (NYSE), Scott Wapner (NASDAQ), Sharon Epperson (NYMEX), Rick Santelli (Chicago), Steve Liesman, David Faber, Darby Dunn, and Brian Shactman.

[edit] Quote

"America is open for business coast-to-coast." This is the opening phrase used at the start of the show just before the opening title sequence.

[edit] Worldwide simulcast

The Call is not seen on CNBC Europe as the European network instead airs European Closing Bell at 1700 Central European Time. However, this program is seen on CNBC Asia.
