HAMILTON — As part of Bell Media’s ongoing overhaul and streamlining of its radio operations, the company’s TSN 1150 station in Hamilton, Ont., stopped broadcasting sports coverage at noon today and switched identities to BNN Bloomberg Radio 1150.
The newly revamped station’s content now features a simulcast of BNN Bloomberg’s linear television broadcast and in-depth, live, specialty programming from Bloomberg’s radio service. The new station is powered by BNN Bloomberg’s Canadian team of journalists as well as contributions from Bloomberg’s roster of 2,700 business journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries, says Bell Media’s press release announcing the launch of BNN Bloomberg Radio 1150.
The station also integrates a broad array of short- and long-form content, including Exponential with Amanda Lang, a weekly podcast from the BNN Bloomberg host which explores the worlds of business, technology, sociology and art, and how they intersect, says the release. There was no mention of local content.
Available for live streaming across the country through the iHeartRadio Canada app, the Hamilton station joins BNN Bloomberg’s first radio station, BNN Bloomberg Radio 1410 in Vancouver.
“We are proud to broaden the scope of BNN Bloomberg Radio with this new station, and to deliver comprehensive business news coverage across an expanded slate of platforms, both locally in Hamilton and across the GTA, and nationally via iHeartRadio,” said Richard Gray, regional general manager, Eastern Region, Bell Media. “As markets continue to shift amid these challenging times, BNN Bloomberg continues to be the prime source of financial analysis and insight for Canada’s business leaders.”
