Bloomberg Business News and Maryland Public Television have begun distributing what they reckon is the first daily worldwide multimedia business news programme, a 15-minute service transmitted to major public television stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Baltimore, Washington DC, Atlanta, Miami and Salt Lake City, and globally to financial professionals in more than 50 countries on six continents through their electronic Bloomberg news terminals, which now include audio-visual display capabilities; Bloomberg Business News is also claimed to be the first public television programme developed entirely in digital technologies with no videotape used in broadcasts.
