CNBC to offer news briefs on HomePod

CNBC will begin offering an audio news brief for HomePod, Apple’s new wireless speaker for the home.

HomePod will be available to order on Friday, Jan. 26.

Customers can say, “Hey Siri, play business news” or “Hey Siri, play me the news from CNBC,” and the CNBC audio news brief will provide users with news updates throughout the business day and insightful weekend look ahead features from CNBC anchors and reporters, as well as market commentary from CNBC’s on-air stocks editor Bob Pisani from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

Users can also hear the latest business news with the CNBC audio news brief on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV running iOS and tvOS 11.2.5.

CNBC is also available on Amazon Echo. Echo Show users can watch the popular digital video series Cramer Remix, featuring Jim Cramer from “Mad Money,” by saying, “Alexa, ask CNBC for the Cramer Remix” or “watch the Cramer Remix” when using the CNBC Skill.
