The story

In November 2016, JKN News Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of JKN Global Media (now JKN Global Group), has acquired the rights from NBCUniversal to produce programs under CNBC's own brand. Under the brand "JKN-CNBC", the first program produced for broadcast was "First Class Thailand by JKN-CNBC" broadcast on Channel 3 SD from 1 June 2018 until 2019.

On 1 July 2019, JKN-CNBC began broadcasting CNBC's news programs in Thai for the first time on GMM 25, but only aired for 2–3 months, the channel had to withdraw all programs because the audience base is not suitable for the channel. Starting in September, CNBC's noon and evening news were adapted into JKN News' general news program and in October, the channel has stopped broadcasting the noon news and evening news produced by JKN News by allowing the news team of GMM 25 to resume producing the noon and evening news instead by modifying CNBC's morning news to be a general news program of JKN News instead but still producing news under the brand "JKN-CNBC" on other digital television channels and JKN-CNBC's Facebook page, as well as international news sections on GMM 25's noon news and evening news.

On 6 January 2020, JKN News Co., Ltd. officially opened the JKN-CNBC channel under the slogan "Your new economic news channel" by trial broadcasting documentaries, news programs and product sales programs throughout 24 hours via website www.jkncnbc.com, it is the first channel by bringing CNBC news programs that have been discontinued from GMM 25, including international news broadcasting during the noon and evening news of GMM 25, to be broadcast on JKN-CNBC instead.

JKN-CNBC's online television station ceased broadcasting on 30 September 2020. CNBC's news programs in Thai have moved to broadcast on JKN TV and JKN18 respectively. The station returned to open again under the slogan "Capitalize on it. Invest for a wealthy life", with Ratchaphol Lhaowanich as the editor-in-chief. It started broadcasting live via the JKN-CNBC Facebook page from 1 June 2022 and started broadcasting on AIS Play on 15 September 2022. JKN-CNBC's online television station ceased broadcasting again on 15 September 2023 alongside the closing of JKN18's news department, due to JKN18 already did a partnership with TOP News, starting on 18 September of that year.
