CNBC-e was launched by CNBC Europe and NTV on 16th November 2000, providing a mix of economy related programming mainly in Turkish during the day and entertainment programmes in the evening, usually in English with Turkish subtitles. In 2015 the channel was bought out by TLC and was relaunched under its new brand in November of that year.

CNBC-e bought the first series starring Peter Capaldi in to show during 2015, and this continued with TLC with his second series in early 2016. In September, the channel started to broadcast the first series starring Matt Smith.
