TORONTO – New Canadian business and financial news television channel Bloomberg TV Canada will officially launch on November 16, parent company Channel Zero said Tuesday.
An exclusive partnership between Bloomberg Media and the independent Canadian media company, the channel will provide 24/7 Bloomberg global market coverage and Canadian business and financial news from a new, state-of-the-art high definition (HD) studio in Toronto's financial district.
