Bloomberg Radio is a radio service of Bloomberg L.P. that provides global business news programming 24 hours a day. The format is general and financial news, offering local, national and international news reports along with financial market updates and interviews with corporate executives, economists and industry analysts.[1] On off hours, local stations may preempt with local sports play-by-play coverage such as college basketball, tennis and other sports coverage.
Bloomberg Radio is broadcast on radio stations around the United States, and directly operates five radio stations:
In 1992, Bloomberg purchased the first of these, WBBR (1130 AM) in New York (at the time using the call sign WNEW), for $13.5 million.[2] Bloomberg took over the operation of WXKS (1200 AM) in Newton, Massachusetts, (serving Boston) on March 1, 2013.[3] The following year, Bloomberg began programming KNEW (960 AM) on September 29, 2014.[4] Both stations are owned and operated by iHeartMedia, but are programmed by Bloomberg Radio under a local marketing agreement (LMA).[4] On December 21, 2015, Bloomberg Radio launched a similar arrangement on CBS Radio-owned WNEW-FM (99.1), its first FM radio station.[5] The call letters of WNEW-FM were later changed to WDCH-FM and the station is now owned by Audacy, Inc.. On July 4, 2017, Bloomberg moved its programming in Boston to WRCA (1330 AM), owned by Beasley Broadcast Group.[6] Later that year, it fully acquired WNBP (1450 AM) in Newburyport to serve as a simulcast of WRCA. Both WRCA and WNBP operate translator stations on 106.1 FM.[7] Its LMA with WXKS expired on March 1, 2018.[8] Bloomberg Radio is also heard nationally on Sirius XM satellite radio channel 119. Select programming is also broadcast in London UK on DAB digital radio via the London 3 multiplex (VHF block 11B), with simulcasts of the Bloomberg TV audio at other times.
