MUMBAI: In a bid to expand its distribution across EMEA in 2010, business and financial news channel CNBC has launched on the subscription-free satellite platform, Freesat. 
 
In January, CNBC was launched on Virgin and TalkTalk.

The UK version of the channel carries seven hours of programming from CNBC‘s London studios, including the one-hour Strictly Money, aimed directly at retail investors and small business owners.
