Bloomberg Radio

Bloomberg Radio delivers round-the-clock global business news and is operated by Bloomberg L.P. Its programming includes a mix of general and financial news, featuring local, national, and international news stories, along with updates on financial markets and interviews with business leaders, economists, and industry experts. During off-peak hours, local affiliates may interrupt the broadcast for live sports coverage, including college basketball and tennis events. Bloomberg Radio is available on various radio stations across the United States and runs four stations directly: WBBR (1130 AM) in New York City, WXKS (1200 AM) in Newton, Massachusetts (serving Boston), KNEW (960 AM) in Oakland, California (serving the San Francisco Bay Area), and WDCH-FM (99.1 FM) in Bowie, Maryland (covering Baltimore and Washington, D.C.). Bloomberg acquired WBBR, which was previously known as WNEW, in 1992 for $13.5 million. The company took over WXKS in early 2013 and KNEW in late 2014; both stations are owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. (formerly known as Clear Channel Communications) but are programmed by Bloomberg under a local marketing agreement. On December 21, 2015, Bloomberg Radio began a similar partnership with CBS Radio's WNEW-FM, its first FM station, which was later rebranded as WDCH-FM. Additionally, Bloomberg Radio can be heard nationwide on SiriusXM channel 119.
