CNBC is going to establish a regional editorial hub in Bahrain to cover the Middle East. Expected to be operational in the second quarter of the year, it will coordinate and produce business and
financial newsgathering from the Middle East. CNBC is in the process of recruiting an on-air presenter, reporters and production staff. The new post will be part of CNBC's "Capital Connection,"
tri-anchored four days a week live from London, Bahrain and Singapore. Also, CNBC's half-hour monthly program "Gateway to the Middle East" will also be produced from Bahrain.
Mick
Buckley, the managing director for EMEA at CNBC, said, "Bahrain offers the ideal location for CNBC's hub, as the country's infrastructure and location enables us to effectively cover the news from
Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other major centers in the region."
