ASB Business is a half-hour business news programme in New Zealand, with insights into issues affecting the business sector. It was broadcast on TV3 between 6.30am and 7.00am weekdays, followed by Sunrise.

Format

Starting on 2 October 2007, ASB Business had been a main part of Sunrise, which was on air from 6:30 am. In an aim to attract more business viewers, particularly in Auckland, it was decided that from 6 October 2008, a new 30-minute version of ASB Business would be produced. It was hosted by financial journalist Michael Wilson. Sunrise moved to start at 7:00 am, featuring regular business updates.

TV3 cancelled ASB Business and Sunrise on 8 April 2010, stating both programmes were financially unsustainable.

ASB Business was previously the name of rival TVNZ's morning business programme on TV One at a similar timeslot. This programme is now titled NZI Business
