There is a programming change on CNBC Europe due to the Greek referendum, live programming will start eariler on Sunday, at 7pm BST and not at 11pm BST as usual. It will be presented by Steve Sedgwick and Karen Tso in London, Julia Chartterley in Athens, Geoff Cutmore in Brussels, and Annette Weisbach in Frankfurt. The show will air also on CNBC Asia and in the US on CNBC World.
Bloomberg will start a few hour earlier too but still I find it strange that these supposed business channels are not in rolling news mode all day long considering how big this economy story is. The same for last weekend when it was first breaking.
They are used to clocking off at 5:00pm on a Friday and not coming back till 5:00am on Monday. They aren't really rolling news channels at all. In fairness it's rare that a major business news story does break at weekends. CNBC did some excellent coverage last night btw, though Bloomberg was nowhere to be seen.
Bloomberg Television is working on a new morning show expected to debut next month.
The new show is expected to be called “Bloomberg Go” and debut on Monday, Oct. 5, at 7 a.m. The show’s name is a play on the “Go” button on the Bloomberg terminal keyboard.
The show will be hosted by Stephanie Ruhle, who joined the network in 2011 after 14 years on Wall Street in the hedge fund business.
The new show will be the first since Al Mayers was made head of Bloomberg Television’s global operations last month in addition to his responsibilities running its radio operation. He replaced Claudia Milne, who ran Bloomberg TV for a year.
In recent weeks, Bloomberg Television has discontinued “Market Makers” and added an extra hour to “Bloomberg Surveillance” so that the morning show team can practice the new lineup. Bloomberg Television is also working on new set designs.
Bloomberg Television made other changes to its daytime programming in May.
From the photo and description, I'm assuming that it's actually a relatively small studio and the whole of the building background is on a screen. If that's the case, then it's very realistic and a seriously impressive piece of work by Lightwell.
Amazing looking background. While watching some preview clips I thought it was really behind them.
I wonder what more is there? I don't think they will only use that set up for all shows. Surveillance will have its own part of the set, same for Bloomberg Markets. I will miss the newsroom view.
Looks great. The CGI background is obvious for a couple of seconds on the downward pan straight out of the titles when the perspective is a bit skewed - but otherwise top-notch.
