Ulan Bator – Bloomberg Television, in partnership with The Trade & Development Bank of Mongolia (TDB), has officially launched Bloomberg TV Mongolia, marking the introduction of the first international broadcast news organisation in the country, which is one of the fastest-growing stock markets and investing environments in Asia today.

Over the last year, Bloomberg has trained over 30 local journalists who are now working at BTV Mongolia, and built a state-of-the-art high definition television studio in the heart of downtown Ulan Bator. Bloomberg TV Mongolia will deliver international, market-moving business and financial news to the local community, and insightful coverage of Mongolia to the rest of the world, providing a unique edge for viewers.

“With the economic growth of Mongolia, decision makers and business leaders here have an increasing need for market-moving, accurate and international business and financial news. Likewise, global audiences are becoming ever more intrigued by what is happening in Mongolia,” said Orkhon Onon, First Deputy CEO of TDB.  

With Executive Producer Todd Baer at the helm, Bloomberg TV Mongolia launched on October 8 with its flagship evening newscast Money Flow, followed by its prime-time interview programme Talk to Bloomberg TV Mongolia. The weekly programme includes five hours of locally produced content, combined with simultaneous and taped translated Bloomberg content. Weekend programming schedule includes 12 hours of taped translated Bloomberg programmes, supplemented by Bloomberg TV’s pan-Asian feed. Bloomberg TV Mongolia will be available on all of Mongolia’s major cable providers.
