Bloomberg TV has been around for years, but it has generally been considered too wonky for all but the wonkiest finance types. In the past year, however, the network has hired new on-air talent (most prominently Margaret Brennan, from CNBC), consolidated the eye-boggling number of crawls that used to clutter the bottom half of its screen, and expanded its coverage of general business news rather than focusing almost exclusively on high finance. “There’s an audience that may have been with CNBC that’s going to be attracted by the kind of presentation we’re doing,” says recently hired head of Bloomberg TV, David Rhodes.

    Noticed this a few weeks ago. Most of the TVs in the trading room are now on Bloomberg. Better content combined with a new focus on “presentation” beats the collie molester every time. CNBC needs to have the Druries on full time stateside if they hope to counter this offensive.

    I love the phrase “aggressive amounts of cleave” and its variations and I’m not even a breast man.

    Caruso and Cabrera are the two best cans on TV. All others are playing for 2nd place.

    Everyone take it easy. CNBC is striking back with this new blond bombshell.
    Bloomberg has shown Maria B the door at businessweek.
