Bloomberg L.P. Forms Bloomberg Media Group

Bloomberg LP has just announced the formation of Bloomberg Media Group, which will bring all of Bloomberg’s media properties under one (figurative) roof. Starting today, all business operations from Bloomberg Businessweek, Bloomberg Market, Bloomberg Television, Bloomberg Radio, Bloomberg.com, and Bloomberg Mobile will be handled by the Bloomberg Media Group.

Paul Bascobert, who continues to serve as President of Businessweek, has been named Head of Business Operations, and will report to Bloomberg Media Group’s CEO Andy Lack.
