Bloomberg Radio available on iPhone and iPod

The Bloomberg Radio application for iPhone and iPod touch is now available.

This is the first radio app where listeners can view real-time charts, get market information and news, and access guest biographies while listening to Bloomberg Radio shows.

“We look forward to bringing Manhattan’s number one radio station to a global audience,” said Oke Okaro, general manager and global head of Bloomberg mobile, in a statement. “Now people around the world will have 24/7 access to Bloomberg Radio’s market-moving news and analysis on their terms.”

The Bloomberg Radio application allows listeners to download shows and interviews they can listen to at their convenience.

For example, rather than having to wait for the regularly scheduled market updates at the 20-minute and 50-minute marks, people can now get that information on demand, download it onto their device, and listen to it offline where and when they want.

The app is available for free from the app store on iPhone and iPod touch or online.
