Bell Media and Bloomberg Media Partner to Create Canada's Leading Multi-Platform Business News
Bell Media and Bloomberg Media today announced the two media companies have partnered to create Canada's leading multi-platform business news brand, BNN Bloomberg. Launching in Spring 2018, BNN Bloomberg will provide audiences and advertisers with an unparalleled suite of products across digital, television and radio, targeting Canada's business decision makers.
In maximizing its partnership with Bloomberg Media, BNN, Canada's most-watched source of televised business news, will add the formidable strength of Bloomberg's 2,700 business journalists and analysts in 120 countries and vast business and financial news, market data, analysis, video and television programming to its already considerable range of assets. BNN Bloomberg will also leverage Bloomberg's five Canadian news bureaus in Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, Montréal, and Vancouver.
Highlights of the new partnership include:
BNN Bloomberg on Television
In addition to the new programming in Canada, international programs such as BLOOMBERG DAYBREAK: ASIA and BLOOMBERG MARKETS: EUROPEAN OPEN will be added to the BNN broadcast schedule, where viewers can instantly catch up on the biggest international business news, at any time. BNN's Canadian-based producers will also draw on Bloomberg journalists from across Canada and around the world to bolster its daytime coverage.
BNN Bloomberg for Digital
BNN.ca will relaunch as BNNBloomberg.ca with an expanded offering of articles, video, and market data. Already Canada's leader in digital business video, the new site will feature hundreds of new investigative stories, luxury and lifestyle features, and digital-first videos every week.
New personalized digital features intended for users to customize their experience will soon follow. In addition, advertisers in Canada will have access to Bloomberg's digital products through Bell Media, offering multiple options to reach Canada's top decision makers and the broader business and financial community.
BNN Bloomberg on Radio
Through the partnership, BNN Bloomberg will be the main distributor of Bloomberg Radio content in Canada. Bell Media Radio will integrate the broad array of short- and long-form radio reports and programs into its stations across Canada. The two partners will also combine BNN's broadcast simulcast with Bloomberg's leading business radio product to create a new radio channel on iHeartRadio.
