“What’d You Miss?” debuts this afternoon

Joe Weisenthal writes about “What’d You Miss?”, the new Bloomberg Television show that he and Alix Steel are hosting that debuts Monday afternoon.

Weisenthal writes, “Basically, Alix and I are obsessed with financial markets and market data, and every day we’ll tell you about what we saw and why it’s interesting. The goal is to produce something that’s sophisticated enough for a Wall Street audience, while at the same time being clear enough so that everyone can take something away from it.

“Don’t think German bunds, GDP revisions and oil storage capacity constraints are interesting topics? We want to convince you that they are, and that you should care. And we can do this thanks to the Bloomberg terminal’s unparalleled trove of data and charts, and Bloomberg News’ legendary breadth of expertise.

“Neither Alix nor I come from traditional TV backgrounds. Rather, TV is the latest medium for us to talk about the things we really care about it. But seeing as it’s 2015, we’re not just doing this show with TV in mind. You’ll be able to watch it live online, and the show is designed to be turned into video that you’d want to watch and share anytime and anywhere.”
