Bloomberg TV show “With All Due Respect” to end in January

The Bloomberg Television show “With All Due Respect” will end in January with the inauguration of Donald Trump, reports Michael Calderone of The Huffington Post.

Calderone writes, “Halperin and Heilemann, who joined in May 2014 and served as co-managing editors of Bloomberg Politics, will continue to host the show daily until Dec. 2. Bloomberg will produce four hourlong specials previewing Trump’s presidency and then cover the event on Jan. 20.

“The two journalists will cease day-to-day roles with the company, but according to the memo are in discussions to ‘play a role at Bloomberg as contributors and columnists.’

“The hiring of Halperin and Heilemann, for reportedly $1 million apiece, caused tensions inside the company as some Washington staffers felt marginalized with the shift of political coverage to New York. There’s been speculation inside the company, even fueled by CEO Mike Bloomberg himself, that the pair would depart after the election. Many expect Halperin and Heilemann ― authors of 2008 and 2012 election tell-alls Game Change and Double Down ― to write another book on the 2016 election, but they have not yet announced any plans to do so.

“In the memo, Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait and Bloomberg Media CEO Justin Smith praised Bloomberg Politics as ‘one of our most successful consumer media franchises, providing a constant stream of original and influential web, TV, and digital video content.'”
