Departures mount at Bloomberg Television

Bloomberg Television has lost at least 11 staffers in recent weeks, including Allison Girvin, an executive producer for morning show “Market Day,” who left Bloomberg on Thursday to take a job at NBC, reports Kevin Dugan of the New York Post.

Dugan writes, “Bloomberg was also miffed at Milne over the departure of John Newhouse, who ran graphics for the TV channel for about five years and was favored by the founder, insiders said.

“Milne, a veteran news producer for the BBC, came aboard just as Bloomberg was overhauling its multimedia operations. On the TV front, that entailed more political coverage, such as a show led by ‘Game Change’ co-authors Mark Halperin and John Heilemann.

“Other recent departures include:

• Ben Geldon, a senior producer who oversaw “Market Makers”;
• Keith Berecz, a product manager for multimedia, including TV;
• Courtney Coupe, an executive producer for digital who also overlapped with TV;
• Alyssa Zahler, a video producer;
• Producers  Brian Price, Lauren Alperstein, Yang Yang and Peter Cook.”
