Bloomberg TV forms partnership for India channel

Bloomberg and UTV announced Thursday that they have created a partnership for an Indian business news television channel.

In the next month, the business news channel UTVi will be re-branded as Bloomberg-UTV. UTVi’s local newsgathering, production and distribution expertise combine with the financial news capabilities and global reach of Bloomberg to broadcast news and information for and about the Indian market.

Bloomberg-UTV will incorporate substantial international programming elements from the Bloomberg Television network. In addition, the Web site UTVi.com, which is the fastest growing financial portal in India, will be re-branded as bloombergutv.com with content from Bloomberg.
