Schwab Network (originally TD Ameritrade Network) is an over-the-top (OTT) broadcast channel streaming financial news and education content. It was launched by TD Ameritrade on October 24, 2017, as a free service with four hours of live original programming.[2] Investors could tune in for real-time business updates and growth forecasts delivered by CEOs, analysts and investors alongside veteran TD Ameritrade traders.[3] From the outset, expanded hours beyond 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM were envisioned.[4] By February 2018, the network was airing from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM from its Chicago headquarters.[5]

In November 2018, the TD Ameritrade Network announced Nicole Petallides, former Fox Business anchor and New York Stock Exchange floor reporter, would join the network as an on-air host corresponding from Nasdaq MarketSite in New York.[6] Petallides joined a group of hosts including Oliver Renick, former Bloomberg Businessweek co-anchor, and a lineup of veteran traders from TD Ameritrade.[7]

After TD Ameritrade was acquired by Charles Schwab Corporation in 2020, TD Ameritrade Network was rebranded accordingly to Schwab Network by 2023.[1]

Schwab Network also offers translated programming for investors in Hong Kong and Singapore. [8]
