Inc. Bloomberg consists of a number of information providers and services. The core business, The Bloomberg, is an on-line financial information network that provides business and general news, information, and analysis through a computer terminal. In addition, Bloomberg Business News is a fully accredited global news service with over 300 reporters in over 60 bureaus, which provides news coverage through an international network of print, television, radio, and on- line media. The Bloomberg Business News byline regularly appears in over 160 newspapers in 25 countries. Bloomberg terminal users receive Bloomberg Magazine on a monthly basis.
Selected programming is available through cable outlets and commercial broadcast networks.
Bloomberg segments are featured on 155 public and commercial television stations in North America. The programs link political leaders with Bloomberg users and invited guests in a direct dialogue. At the Town Meetings, Bloomberg customers and other interested persons would query and converse with the candidates. The presidential candidate would appear in a television studio linked via two-way television to a live Wall Street audience of Bloomberg users and other invited guests in New York and perhaps at other remote locations. A moderator would open the program, introduce the candidate, and invite the candidate to make brief remarks.
