The network's relaunched site, which it originally ran from 1998 to 2001, will carry many new features, including web-specific video clips and market updates, video from news events and interviews with CEOs and other newsmakers.

Customers who pay $9.95 per month also will have access to premium features including archived video and a live feed of video from the financial news network.
