CNBC PRESENTS “CNBC SPECIAL EVENT: DETROIT AUTO SHOW ALL ACCESS” BROADCAST LIVE FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW
One-Hour Special Hosted by CNBC Auto Reporter Phil LeBeau to Air on CNBC Monday, January 14th at 9PM & 12AM ET
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J. January 8, 2008 – In a CNBC special event, CNBC cameras go behind-the-wheel at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show-the most important auto show of the year. On Monday, January 14th at 9PM & 12AM ET, CNBC presents an original one-hour special, “CNBC Special Event: Detroit Auto Show All Access,” reported and hosted live by CNBC auto reporter Phil LeBeau. CNBC, First in Business Worldwide, is the official cable broadcast partner of the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS)
The one-hour special previews some of the more than 50 production and concept vehicles that will make their first appearance at NAIAS. The program also examines the state of the automotive industry, looks at the future of hybrid technology and reviews the Chinese-manufactured vehicles on display at the NAIAS 2008.
“The auto industry continues to be one of the strongest barometers for global economic and social trends,” said CNBC’s LeBeau. “In addition to giving our viewers a glimpse into the future of automotive design and technology, we will also focus on some of the economic, environmental, and safety-related issues that are driving the industry’s evolution.”
This all-access hour also provides viewers with a rare inside look at how a “concept” car is created from inception– from the designer’s mind to the floor of the auto show as well as a sneak peak at the eye-popping gizmos and gadgets that will make cars smarter than ever. Plus, Jane Wells, CNBC’s Los Angeles-based correspondent, will report on the cars of the stars.
CNBC’s Sanford Cannold is Executive Producer of the live special and CNBC’s Meghan Reeder and Samantha Wright are producers of the program with Geoff Cortelyou as production coordinator.
