Ah yes, Closing Bell. That's what it's called! Yes, Streetsmart is the Bloomberg equivalent of Closing Bell. Maybe it's just me. But i've noticed that Closing Bell cover more interesting topics than Streetsmart.
Don't know of 'The Final Word' as i started watching Bloomberg / CNBC in Dec 2009.
That's interesting. I've never seen Streetsmart so I don't know what topics they have. The Final Word was on Bloomberg around 2007/2008 and I only watched it once or twice. It was a two hour show like Closing Bell but it seemed to have less ad breaks. The night I watched that show was in May 2007. I've been watching CNBC since 2006 and I occasionally checked out Bloomberg too.
That closes the last gap. If it weren't for Charlie Rose, we'd have a 24/5 live programming over here. Bloomberg Rewind, which was too American anyway, is axed for good in Europe. But I wouldn't mind seeing the show during the weekend.
They should drop Charlie Rose from Europe/Asia. Most of his guests are for American Audiences anyway. Lisa Murphy was hosting Bloomberg Rewind last week but i wouldn't count on it being shown at the weekends as all we get is repeats of Charlie Rose!.
'The Pulse' appears to be a fashion magazine now. Have you seen that new opening sequence? Shy Maryam is definitely no more!
It kind of is like 'First Look', where I always expect Linzie Janis to jump on the table and dance to the theme.
And given that Bloomberg Asia always get a lot of help from Europe for their broadcast design, I bet 'Asia Edge' has an electronic theme as well, but without the presenters walking around... or do they?
Linzie jumping up on the table and dancing to the theme? That's something i woudn't mind seeing! Yes i've saw the new sequence to "The Pulse". Andrea Catherwood is a tough act to follow but Maryam's doing quite well. I just wish she would stop wearing such dark coloured clothing during her show. No longer shy for sure!
Asia Edge has a kind of electronic rock theme. Susan looks great but not much walking around from her. She used to walk all over the place.
Anyway, the EPG announces a new show. Well, almost: At 8pm, a 30 minute-long wrap-up of 'Last Word' is scheduled.
They would be as well as repeating the whole of 'Last Word'. Or include an additional 30 minute wrap of 'The Pulse'
as there are quite a few interviews on that show too.
Problems on The Pulse this morning. Commercial breaks cut in while Maryam still speaking including one in the middle of an interview. No apology from Maryam after the break.
I usually watch The Pulse on tv. It annoys me that when a commercial break cuts in to an ongoing interview there is no apology when they come out of the break. All Bloomberg breaks appear to be 'hard' ones, i.e. the commercials come on automatically come what may. Only some of CNBC Europe's are 'hard'.
Francine fainted on set near the end of Countdown this morning. They quickly switched to Mark Barton who was not ready but soon got into his stride. Owen blamed the early start and hot studio and he took over the anchoring of On the Move.

I do know the difference
Had I mentioned it before?
Do you not like Jay Leno much? I rarely watch his show either.
I still miss Coooooooooooooooooooooonaaaaaaaaaaaan o' Briiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnn
That's how they used to announce him right ?:)
And I've just realized that this should also be in CNBC thread
So who do I miss from Bloomberg? Andrea Catherwood since she left the 'mornings'
Asia Edge with Rishaad Salamat and Susan Li.

I was replying to that poster who seemed to think you were me. I mustn't have been fully awake when I typed that post this morning
