TORONTO – Bell Media’s all-business news channel BNN Bloomberg celebrated its 20th anniversary of serving Canadian investors and business decision makers with a special edition of Market Call which aired Wednesday at noon.
The special looked back on BNN Bloomberg’s evolution over two decades from its initial launch in 1999 as Report on Business Television (old logo at right) in partnership with the Globe and Mail newspaper, to its collaboration with Bloomberg 
LP in 2018 and subsequent re-launch as BNN Bloomberg. Today’s Market Call featured several of the program’s top guests over the years and focused on its dedicated viewership of Canadian investors.
BNN Bloomberg today also announced the launch of all-new digital financial data on BNNBloomberg.ca and the BNN Bloomberg app, powered by Bloomberg. The digital financial data from the U.S. organization is known around the world for its accuracy, depth, and reliability and is used by traders and others everywhere. “The thousands of popular stock profile pages on BNN Bloomberg’s website and app now feature a new ‘Stock Scorecard’ on each stock profile, adding metrics like market capitalization, one-year total return, and much more,” says the Bell Media press release.
BNN Bloomberg has also launched free real-time data for all TSX Venture exchange stocks, as well as listings from the NEO Exchange (currently presented in real time) and Western Canadian Select (WCS), the benchmark energy price for Canada’s heavy oil industry.
The release also noted the channel launched on September 1, 1999 in a small rental st
udio in downtown Toronto “during a time of airline takeovers, sky-high tech stock prices, and a long bull-run for stocks.” (Ed note: The more things change…).
