Bloomberg completes deal for BusinessWeek

Bloomberg LP announced Tuesday afternoon that it has completed its acquisition of BusinessWeek from McGraw-Hill Cos.

Bloomberg paid $5 million in cash and Bloomberg also assumed certain liabilities, including unfulfilled subscription liabilities.

“We share with McGraw-Hill a commitment to editorial excellence and we look forward to building on BusinessWeek’s 80-year tradition of great journalism,” said Bloomberg Chairman Peter T. Grauer in a statement. “The reporting and analytical resources of Bloomberg and BusinessWeek are unparalleled in their ability to deliver timely, credible content to an influential and highly sought-after audience.”

Bloomberg president Daniel L. Doctoroff said that the deal would yield significant benefits for users of the Bloomberg Professional service, and for its television, online and mobile properties.
