The Rundown launched on March 31, 2014. It was one of the two programs that replaced Cash Flow, with Street Signs being the other.
The program provided real-time financial market coverage and business information for the start of the Asia trading day. The program features a range of guests from top financial institutions around the world, as well as guests from CNBC's global headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, N.J., and reports from CNBC and NBC News bureaus worldwide.[2]

As of February 2018, correspondent Dan Murphy replaced Fujita as anchor, after the latter was appointed co-host of Asia Squawk Box, which is based in Hong Kong.[4]
