CNBC begins offering real-time stock quotes

June 2, 2008

Business news cable channel CNBC announced Monday that real-time quotes for stocks traded on the NASDAQ will be available on CNBC.com and CNBC Mobile, beginning immediately.

CNBCCNBC will be the only provider for real-time NASDAQ market data on television, the Internet and mobile devices.

“This service underscores CNBC’s mission to deliver news and market data that is fast, accurate, actionable and unbiased,” said Scott Drake, vice president of CNBC Digital, in a statement. “CNBC has always provided its television audience with the best real-time market data. Previously, NASDAQ quotes had been operating under a 20-minute delay on the web. As of today, that is no longer the case. CNBC.com and CNBC mobile users will have access to real-time NASDAQ quotes, no matter what platform they use or where they are in the world.”

CNBC.com will include an option that will enable NASDAQ stock quotes to be updated continuously on a real-time basis.

CNBC.com and CNBC Mobile will use a new service from the NASDAQ, “Nasdaq Last Sale,” that was launched this morning.
