Squawk on the Street, which debuted on December 19, 2005, is a business show on CNBC that follows the first 90 minutes of trading on Wall Street in the United States.[1]

Originally airing as a one-hour program, the show doubled its airtime to two hours on July 19, 2007 (due in part to

The Call on August 8, 2007), which aired one hour later and had its airtime reduced in half. On October 17, 2011, Squawk on the Street was expanded to 3 hours, from 9 am to noon ET. The Call was canceled as a result of this program's expansion. On May 19, 2014, Squawk on the Street reverted to 2 hours (9 am to 11 am ET) as a new program, Squawk Alley, debuted on that day. On February 27, 2023, Squawk on the Street once again expanded to three hours, with the third hour replacing the cancelled TechCheck
but reverted back to being a two-hour show in 11 December 2023 following the debut of a new 11am show, Money Movers.
