Bloomberg Television is a network that airs business and financial news 24 hours a day. The network was widely known for their data screen format, in which news tickers and business data boxes used more of the television screen than the broadcast video. A more simplified and less cluttering interface where video is shown almost fullscreen is progressively being introduced across the different feeds. They were also one of the first financial news networks to provide a free internet streaming video feed. Bloomberg Television is owned by Bloomberg L.P. and has its headquarters in New York City.

[edit] Controversy
In the United Kingdom, Bloomberg TV was severely reprimanded for breach of Ofcom rules during the 2005 UK national (General) election. Bloomberg TV was found to have showed pro-Labour Party bias [1]. This occurred due to a breach of British law. In the run up to a general election television channels must provide equal time to all major political parties. Bloomberg covered the release by the Labour Party of their so-called "Business Manifesto" but did not provide counter-balancing air time to the Conservatives or Liberal Democrats.
