This one would have surely made Radio Ink‘s best facilities issue. On Wednesday, Bloomberg showed off its new state-of-the-art multi-platform broadcast studio at Bloomberg’s global headquarters in New York City.
The new space features technology that allows for simultaneous radio and video production. The space is a circular glass studio located in one of the most high-trafficked areas of Bloomberg’s headquarters and steps away from one of the only curved escalators in the world.
The new studio is home to Bloomberg’s radio programs, including Bloomberg Surveillance, with Tom Keene, Jonathan Ferro, and Pimm Fox, Bloomberg Markets, with Pimm Fox and Lisa Abramowicz, and the newly relaunched afternoon drive program Bloomberg Businessweek, with Carol Massar and Jason Kelly.
From the Bloomberg press release: “The completely IP audio-based studio is outfitted with a graphics display capability of 7680×1080 and intelligent automation for operator-less video control and presentation of story-related elements, as well as brand highlights and market insights. Ten cameras are integrated throughout the space, providing a comfortable interview experience and compelling visual presentation, which will also allow for future television broadcasts. For the first time, radio anchors will have the ability to create graphs, charts, and other visual elements while on air. These elements will enhance the simulcast of Bloomberg’s radio programming on YouTube, slated for early 2019.
