“Bloomberg Primer” show to explore tech

Bloomberg Media is launching a new show on Thursday called “Bloomberg Primer.”

The 30-minute episodes, which will appear every Thursday at 6 p.m., explore the technologies driving the new global economy and deconstructs them for the audience

Caroline Hyde, co-host of the “Bloomberg Technology” show, provides the voiceover to guide viewers through the topics.

The shows will also be available via on-demand across on all of Bloomberg’s platforms and distributed on LG Channels, Samsung TV Plus, Prime Video, and Tubi.

“Bloomberg Primer serves to clarify and demystify the new wave of tech concepts being rapidly introduced to the world,” said David Merritt, global head of editorial for Bloomberg Media, in a statement. “The aim is to make these vast industries and futuristic technologies digestible and applicable for smart people making important decisions every day at work and in life.”
