[edit] About the show
It was originally a two-hour program that aired on CNBC from 1996 to 2002-02-01. It was cancelled effective 2002-02-04 and Power Lunch occupied its vacated slot as a result of CNBC's revamped programming line-up. On 2003-12-08, former Business Center co-anchor and original host Ron Insana revived Street Signs. And on March 2006, Squawk on the Street co-anchor Erin Burnett replaced Insana as the program's new host.
This program brings viewers to the heart of the day's market action. In addition, Wall Street's most respected names join the program to offer their perspective.

[edit] Stop Trading!
At 2:40pm ET, Jim Cramer (host of another CNBC program, Mad Money) presents the "Stop Trading!" segment. In this segment, which formerly aired on Closing Bell prior to 2006-09-11, Burnett asks Cramer about the stocks making news, and also asks him for his take on the day's markets. After the segment, a full-screen disclaimer is shown as Street Signs go to a commercial break.
[edit] Facts
Street Signs is not seen on CNBC Europe as that network instead airs Europe Tonight (Monday-Thursday) and Europe This Week (Fridays).
Jim Cramer's on-air tirade about the weakening economy, which was seen during the "Stop Trading!" segment of this program on 2007-08-03, garnered widespread attention and helped galvanize the Federal Reserve Board to cut interest rates.
