[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. Burnett left CNBC on May 6, 2011. The show is currently hosted by Amanda Drury and Brian Sullivan.
This program focuses on the day's market action. In addition, prominent Wall Street analysts, investors and executives regularly appear on 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, the co-anchors ask Cramer about the stocks making news, and also ask 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
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.
