Bell Media announced Wednesday an expansion of its partnership with Ticker Take, the financial media network co-founded by Jon Erlichman and Caroline Lesley, with the Ticker Take video podcast launching on Crave on Thursday, Oct. 29.
The cross-platform partnership between Bell Media and Erlichman, a former BNN Bloomberg anchor, began in 2025 with Ticker Take’s financial news content appearing on BNN Bloomberg’s website and YouTube channel, as well as the iHeartRadio Canada website and app.
Since launching in October 2024, Ticker Take has generated more than 3.5 billion total views and garnered more than two million followers across platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook and Substack, according to a Bell Media press release.
“With Ticker Take’s cross-platform content, Jon Erlichman and Caroline Lesley skillfully synthesize complex market stories into a timely, conversational format,” Richard Gray, vice president of news at Bell Media, said in the press release.
“With our dedicated home on BNN Bloomberg, and in-depth conversations with the investors and founders shaping the market available on iHeartRadio Canada and Crave, we’re expanding on our goal of keeping audiences informed with the financial news and analysis they need,” Erlichman said in a statement.
Lesley, producer and co-host of Ticker Take, has spent more than 25 years in the entertainment industry as an actress, producer and on-air host for outlets including CBC and CTV, and is also a former celebrity interviewer for Entertainment Weekly.
“From the beginning, the goal of Ticker Take has been to make financial media more dynamic, more creative, and more accessible to audiences,” Lesley said in Bell Media’s press release. “Bell Media has helped us bring that vision to life from the start, and having Ticker Take now available on iHeartRadio Canada and Crave is a major step forward in our partnership.”
