Flagship programme broadcast from new television studio in its Beijing bureau as Bloomberg expands coverage across platforms
Beijing & Hong Kong, February 25, 2019 — Bloomberg Television today announced the launch of “Bloomberg Markets: China Open,” a flagship morning program delivering global viewers live breaking business and finance stories from its new state-of-the-art television studio in Beijing.
Tom Mackenzie will be anchoring the show from Beijing and Yvonne Man and David Ingles will be co-anchoring from Hong Kong. The show will air weekdays from 9-10 am HKT/CST. In addition to opening a new television studio in Bloomberg’s Beijing bureau, a new studio is also being constructed in its Shanghai bureau that will be operational soon.
“Our viewers are looking for market moving insights from our news reporters and experts in China who understand the rich complexities of its markets,” said Al Mayers, Head of Bloomberg TV and Radio. “By building a talented team and growing our coverage locally, we are bringing transparency and market intelligence to the world’s second-largest economy, a testament to our commitment to China and its transformational growth.”
Bloomberg Markets: China Open is joining Bloomberg Television’s line-up of Asia morning programming including Bloomberg Daybreak: Australia, Bloomberg Daybreak: Asia and Bloomberg Markets: Asia. These programmes are part of Bloomberg’s multi-platform effort to provide on-the-go business decision makers the data, breaking news, analysis and insight across their day, regardless of where they are in the world.

The hub will examine where China stands now and where it’s going next, covering topics across tech & innovation, trade & commerce, markets & money, wealth & spending and more.
