Bloomberg TV Canada launches “Bloomberg North” show

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

The 30-minute show will air weeknights at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. ET and be available in more than 6 million households.

“Bloomberg North” has tapped Canadian anchors Amanda Lang, Pat Kiernan and Rudyard Griffiths, who will explore the top headlines driving business and speak with industry leaders and decision makers impacting the global economy. “Bloomberg North” will re-air on weekends and full shows will be made available online at bloombergtv.ca.

“‘Bloomberg North’ offers a rare format – it’s a news series hosted by a different anchor each night. 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.”

Griffiths will anchor on Monday while Lang will anchor on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Kiernan will host on Thursdays. This is in addition to his anchor role at NY1.

Bloomberg TV Canada launched in November.
