New assignment desk manager at Bloomberg TV

Tim Gaughan, an assignment manager at Fox News, has been named U.S. assignment desk manager at Bloomberg Television, according to a report from Alex Weprin of TVNewser.

Weprin reports, “Gaughan occasionally appeared on-air during the day at FNC, where he would give live updates from the assignment desk.

“His departure apparently caught a number of FNC staffers by surprise, some of whom started a Facebook group encouraging him to stay at the network.

“Gaughan will be joining FNC veteran David Rhodes at Bloomberg. Rhodes had been FNC’s VP of News, joining Bloomberg in late 2008 to become the head of U.S. television operations.”
