The enterprise information channel stated it can have an choices reporter and have visitor interviews from the ground. It will set up a broadcast studio on the buying and selling flooring scheduled to open later within the yr.

Total U.S. choices buying and selling quantity in 2025 was 15.2 billion contracts, up 26% in comparison with 2024’s file yr, and included file exercise in single inventory, ETF and index choices.
The CBOE buying and selling flooring has greater than 300 brokers, market makers and trading-floor professionals representing corporations from each Chicago and all over the world.
“As participation in options trading has increased, our audience has sought deeper, real-time insight into how these markets move,” stated David Cho, editor-in-chief of CNBC, in a press release. “Expanding our live presence to CBOE’s trading floor strengthens CNBC’s ability to deliver on-the-ground reporting and expert analysis from the center of options activity. This collaboration reflects our broader strategy to invest in market coverage that provides the content and education investors need to navigate this increasingly important part of the investing landscape.”
A CNBC spokesperson stated the journalist stationed on the buying and selling flooring has not been decided.
