Bloomberg Television is a network that airs business and financial news 24 hours a day, and is distributed globally on ten separate channels. Its most-watched period occurs during the crucial 5-8AM programming slot when it is simulcast on the E! network, according to Nielsen Media Research. Bloomberg Television is owned and operated by Bloomberg L.P. and is headquartered in New York City.
The network also provides funding and studio facilities for the nightly PBS/WNET program Charlie Rose.

In addition to the US version, Bloomberg Television has international variations of the channel. Most of them are in the local language of the countries they serve. The English language versions (i.e. UK and Asia Pacific) also simulcast a lot of Bloomberg US programming.
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.
