CNBC International bringing CNBC Originals to the region

May 14, 2026 Television

CNBC International is boosting its Middle East coverage by expanding its CNBC Originals format to the region.

The business channel is looking to hire two producers in Abu Dhabi, one to expand its long-running "Managing" franchise into the Middle East, and one to grow “CNBC Explains” and “Founder Effect” in the region.

CNBC Originals are series, documentaries and podcasts exploring business, leadership, technology and culture, with each uncovering the people, power and ideas driving innovation and transformation across video and audio formats.

Managing Middle East will be an interview-led franchise profiling influential business leaders and decision-makers across the region, while CNBC Explains and Founder Effect deliver digital-first video content that explains complex business, economic and entrepreneurial topics for a global audience.
