[projekktor id=’17828′]
Some exciting news for us here at CHCH. Our parent company, Channel Zero, is partnering with Bloomberg to launch a 24-7 Canadian business news TV channel.

Bloomberg has t-v channels around the world and now it’ll have one here in Canada, with live Canadian news updates, thanks to a partnership with channel zero

“Canadians are going to get better access to the business news of the world coming right into their homes but with a Canadian perspective added to it” says Channel Zero President and Chief Operating Officer Cal Millar.

David Scanlan of Bloomberg Canada says of the partnership “they have the local knowledge, we have the international knowledge, and you put that together and its a very powerful team.”

The Bloomberg brand was started by Michael Bloomberg long before he was mayor of New York City, and has become one of the most powerful brands in the world. The 24/7 business news channel is scheduled to launch later this year. “Bloomberg TV Canada” will broadcast from a studio in the heart of Toronto’s financial district, and bring something new to Canadians. “There is going to be a lot of in depth Canadian content that doesn’t exist right now” says Mr. Scanlan.

For CHCH News viewers it means expanded business coverage with live updates throughout the day, and access to 150 news bureaus around the world.

The channel hits airwaves in mid 2015 – followed by radio and online components.
