Bloomberg Radio will also be available in Baltimore at 105.7 FM HD-2.
It’s also the launch of Bloomberg Radio on its first FM station. Bloomberg 99.1 is the only business and financial news radio available throughout the Beltway. In addition to Bloomberg Radio’s signature programming on financial markets, Bloomberg 99.1 will feature a simulcast of Bloomberg Politics’ “With All Due Respect,” hosted by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann weekdays at 5 p.m. on Bloomberg Television.
Additional programming tailored specifically to the Washington market will be announced in the coming weeks. The station will also begin presenting local news, traffic, weather, and sports updates in early 2016, and will remain the flagship station for Wizards basketball.
“As we enter this critical election year, there’s no better time to introduce Bloomberg Radio to Washington,” said Al Mayers, global head of Bloomberg Television & Radio, in a statement. “On the heels of recent expansions in Europe and Asia-Pacific, this launch marks an important step in our mission to extend the reach of Bloomberg Radio into the most important regions of the world. We will tap into the deep expertise of our Washington bureau to provide insights and analysis on policy and politics that listeners cannot easily find elsewhere.”
