Bloomberg Radio is a radio service of

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,

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.

Programming

The original Bloomberg Radio news format divided each hour of the day into three 20-minute segments, each of which contained stock market updates, business headlines, traffic, weather, local news/sports, a human interest piece or a general update about cultural happenings.

Bloomberg Radio Network

Bloomberg Radio's 24/7 programming is

syndicated by Key Networks to local radio stations across the country.[10]

The Bloomberg Radio Network is also the leading provider of short-form business news reports to radio stations around the country. The network provides live, custom business reports to major all-news radio stations including both of New York City's all-news stations, WCBS and WINS. The network provides "Bloomberg Money Minute" reports at :20 and :50 past the hour. It also provides daily specialty reports including the "Small Business Report", the "Business of Sports Report", the "Bloomberg Pursuits Report on Luxury", the "Real Estate Report", the "Green Business Report, and the "Black Business Report".

Since April 30, 2018, Bloomberg Radio content has been syndicated in Canada by Bloomberg's local partner Bell Media Radio. The company operates two business news stations branded as BNN Bloomberg Radio, which feature audio simulcasts of programs from Bell's BNN Bloomberg cable network, and other Bloomberg Radio programs.[11] CFTE 1410 AM Vancouver was the first Canadian station to carry the format.[11] It was joined in 2021 by CKOC 1150 AM in Hamilton, Ontario.[12]
