Today, CNBC unveiled amazing new features to its app and website. Through these upgrades we hope to provide readers access to more robust financial news and analysis. To start, the last set of updates introduces a pretty cool feature— “Join Pro!” They improve the live TV comparison tool and add more information in the “Market Insider” section. Published at 4:53 PM EDT, these developments highlight CNBC’s commitment to delivering timely and relevant market information.
The “Join Pro” button takes subscribers to a premium, members-only suite of content and tools built for advanced investors. This new initiative further illustrates CNBC’s commitment to reaching a highly-focused and heavily sought-after audience looking for deep, analytical analysis, and data. Users can easily register for the PRO application directly via www.cnbc.com/application/pro, allowing them to be instantly plugged into what’s happening in today’s fast-paced capital markets.
The recently introduced Join Pro feature further enriches CNBC’s business. At the same time, their live TV platform, “Livestream,” is still the heart of what makes the network special. This service provides up-to-the-minute information on changing market conditions. Let’s not forget that it is an incredible tool for educating those interested in the capital markets. The “Watch Live” feature takes viewer engagement to a whole new level enabling users to conveniently watch from mobile phones, laptops or tablets.
The “Market insider” section represents an invaluable resource for investors. It provides smart, contextualized journalism, market commentary by experts, and a sophisticated look at what’s happening today. Our goal with this section is to equip you with the understanding necessary to make effective, informed investment decisions.
CNBC is committed to visual storytelling. Their image API includes an endpoint that lets anyone programmatically fetch beautiful images in context with relevant, timely financial news. This not only saves time, but greatly improves the user experience by offering important context and visual aids that support and elevate text-based content.
