====NBC Asia and CNBC Asia====

NBC Asia launched in 1994, distributed to [[India]], [[Japan]], [[Malaysia]], [[South Korea]], [[Taiwan]], [[Thailand]], [[Pakistan]] and the [[Philippines]]. Like NBC Europe, NBC Asia featured most of NBC's news programs as well as ''The Tonight Show'', ''Late Night'' and ''Saturday Night Live''. Like its European counterpart, it was not allowed to broadcast American-produced prime time shows due to existing broadcast agreements with other domestic broadcasters. NBC Asia produced a regional evening news program that aired each weeknight, and occasionally simulcast some programs from [[CNBC Asia]] and MSNBC. NBC also operated NBC Super Sports, a 24-hour channel devoted to televising sporting events.

In July 1998, NBC Asia was replaced by a regional version of the [[National Geographic Channel (Asia)|National Geographic Channel]].

In the [[Philippines]], [[Jack TV]] (owned by Solar Entertainment) airs ''Will & Grace'' and ''Saturday Night Live'', while [[Talktv (Philippines)|TalkTV]] airs ''The Tonight Show'' and NBC News programs including the weekday and [[Weekend Today|weekend]] editions of ''Today'', ''Early Today'', ''Dateline NBC'' and ''NBC Nightly News''.

In Hong Kong, the English language free-to-air channel TVB Pearl (operated by [[TVB]]) airs live broadcasts of ''NBC Nightly News'', as well as other select NBC programs.
