You can! Provided you pay up– Bloomberg is auctioning off dinner with your choice of anchor in addition to a highly coveted “tour of the studio” (they’ll probably also let you ride their curved escalator while proffering the little factoid that it’s only one of four curved escalators in the world, if you play your cards right). Bidding ends at 1:30 today and is so far up to $225, with the “estimated value” placed at $1,250, which must mean you’re either eating Stephen Schwarzman-endorsed $400 crab claws or something huge happens after dessert (like you and Brennan go out and buy a hooker together).

Well, this is disappointing. Apparently way back in the day, before she did a pro golfer (and possibly supplied him with his other ladies) Rachel Uchitel was a producer for Bloomberg TV. She then went out to join the nightlife industry, and peddle puss on the side (her own and others) but just think! If things had gone differently she (and her t’s) could’ve been in your face, reporting on the crisis, alongside Margaret Brennan. So what we’re thinking is this: since Bloomberg has already gone official with its Breast Offensive, why not offer Uchitel an on-air gig? She presumably won’t come too cheap, but this could be what it takes to finally beat out CNBC in the Cleave Wars. Personally I think the idea is pretty genius but because you people are the ones who’ll have to tune in and make it work, and Rachel may not be your cup of tea, before Bloomberg makes an official offer, let’s first decide which Woods mistress you want on your screen.
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.
