Brennan leaving Bloomberg TV

Margaret Brennan, an anchor with Bloomberg Television, is leaving the network amid a shakeup, reports Chris Ariens of TVNewser.com.

Ariens writes, “Brennan’s departure, described as mutual, comes as the network plans changes to its morning lineup later this Spring.

“Andrew Morse, head of U.S. TV for Bloomberg, says the changes are a continuation of Bloomberg’s ‘evolution into a digital, multi-platform news organization.’ The changes have included a round of staff cuts as well as the posting of new positions, last month.

“The programming shifts include a simulcast of Tom Keene‘s radio program ‘Surveillance’ which airs from 6-8amET replacing ‘Inside Track’ which was hosted by Erik Schatzker and Stephanie Ruhle.

“‘It’s not just doing TV on the radio,’ Morse tells TVNewser, ‘but a true multi-media program.’ The show will stream on Bloomberg.com and on the Bloomberg TV+ and Radio+ tablet apps. Keene will be joined by Sara Eisen, Scarlet Fu and Ken Prewitt.

“Betty Liu will continue to anchor ‘In the Loop’ from 8-10amET. Then, Schatzker and Ruhle will host a new show at 10am, replacing Brennan’s ‘In Business.'”

You replaced Lisa AND Margaret !!! Who is this idiot Morse? He must be the one who discovered the new person who is on with Adam ( who is Great!) . She obviously received her
TV training from a class 5 station doing local used car ads. The woman interrupts everyone, she talks over and more than she allows her guest to, while SCREAMING the entire time.
She needs TWO Adderall ! Too intense for me. NO MORE BLOOMBERG !
