Overview

Originally co-anchored by Liz Claman and Carl Quintanilla (see complete anchor listing below), Wake Up Call was subsequently hosted by Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, sometimes in conjunction with a guest host. The program used a slightly different graphics package to other CNBC program; in particular, a different format for the ticker.

Today's Business was the equivalent program on CNBC Europe and used the same theme music as Wake Up Call. That program, which was hosted by Steve Sedgwick, ended its run on March 23, 2007 and replaced by Capital Connection on March 26, 2007.

There was also a program on CNBC Asia called Asia Wake Up Call. It merged with Asia Squawk Box in 2003.
