Bloomberg TV Canada announced Tuesday the launch of a new program called “Bloomberg North.

Every evening offers viewers the benefit of a unique presentation style and personality,” said Michael Bancroft, executive producer at Bloomberg TV Canada, in a statement. ‘We could not be more pleased with the caliber of journalism this team brings to ‘Bloomberg North’ and to our viewers.”
