New York, November 25 - David Rhodes, formerly Vice President of News at FOX News, has joined the BLOOMBERG TELEVISION® network as head of the Americas region. Prior to joining Bloomberg, Rhodes was responsible for all day-to-day news coverage at FOX, and had been with the Channel since it launched in 1996.

"David's news judgment, his strength as a creator and organizer, and his ability to energize a television news operation will be strong assets to BLOOMBERG TELEVISION as we build on the unique global infrastructure that Bloomberg has created."

The appointment of Rhodes caps a reorganization designed by Andy Lack to maximize the strengths of the global 24/7 BLOOMBERG TELEVISION network. In the new structure, BLOOMBERG TELEVISION regional managers will report directly to Multimedia CEO Lack. These include Michael Clancy, head of BLOOMBERG TELEVISION in Asia; Brian Martinez, head of BLOOMBERG TELEVISION in the UK, Europe, Middle East and Africa; and Rhodes as head of BLOOMBERG TELEVISION in the Americas.
