Shortly after Bloomberg's launch, the now-defunct American Independent Network carried a simulcast of the channel at various times each weekday from 1995 to 1997. The network's morning pre-opening bell programming was also aired on the USA Network, simulcasted in a paid programming arrangement with the channel until 2004, when that network dropped the simulcast months before the NBC Universal merger was consummated, due to concerns USA would then air the coverage of a competitor to future sister network CNBC. The simulcast then moved to E!, where it remained until its end in January 2009, when the network had expanded their reach on digital cable systems enough to negate the simulcast. In its time on E!, the 5-8am block was the most watched period for the network according to Nielsen Media Research. Bloomberg Television's US network debuted a new graphics package in January 2009. This current scheme was first used on the network's now-defunct pre-market programme, Starting Bell, before the new graphics expanded to all of the network's programmes on February 17, 2009. Also on that date, Bloomberg US revamped its weekday programming lineup (see "Programs on Bloomberg" below). Starting October 2009, Bloomberg Television debuted another new graphics package again. International channel In February, 2009, Bloomberg Television announced that it would cease operating some of the international variations of the channel placing a greater focus on a more international Bloomberg channel.1 On March 9, 2009 the localised channels available in Germany, France, Italy and Spain ceased operations. Today, throughout Europe the original pan-European version of Bloomberg Europe (International) is available on cable and digital television providers. Since March 9, 2009 Bloomberg now utilizes its existing international production teams in Hong Kong (Bloomberg Asia), Europe (Bloomberg Europe) and America (Bloomberg) adding a more global feel to the channel. Bloomberg International provides programming from Hong Kong in the early morning, produced by Bloomberg Asia (International), from London in the late morning, produced by Bloomberg Europe (International) and from its main headquarters in New York in the afternoon. Each Bloomberg receives localized advertising and a relevant business news ticker on screen. Bloomberg Japan ceased broadcasting on April 30, 2009. The channel has now been replaced by Bloomberg Asia (International).2 Bloomberg Japan's Japanese language print newsroom and website continue to operate normally. As of June 2009, small on-air segments in cooperation with BS-Fuji Television commenced. As of October 2009 segments with TBS (Tokyo Broadcast System) were added.3 Bloomberg Brazil and Bloomberg Latin America will integrate into the global Bloomberg channel during the year 2009. Bloomberg is an associate member of: the Caribbean Cable & Telecommunications Association4 and the Caribbean Cable Cooperative.5 Controversy A studio shot of Bloomberg Europe. 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.6 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. Datascreen and News Ticker Bloomberg was well-known for using a datascreen format that occupied most of the TV screen and the camera shots. Until 1998, Bloomberg didn't have a moving ticker. Instead, it had boxes that were dedicated to world news as well as weather conditions in selected cities in addition to market data, which was confined to the bottom of the screen. This changed gradually to focus more on business news. The data screen was reformatted several times to include a moving stock ticker and accommodate new graphics. The datascreen format was phased out in late 2007 where the programmes were seen almost in full screen with the ticker and headlines bar confined to the lower part of the screen. Competitors Bloomberg Television's main competition in the US is CNBC and Fox Business Network.
