First Outside Financial Site to Host BLOOMBERG TELEVISION Multi-Media Content
New York, NY – October 1, 2008 – AOL Money & Finance will carry content from BLOOMBERG TELEVISION®, making it the first major site other than Bloomberg.com to host videos from the 24/7 business and financial news network.
Each weekday, AOL Money & Finance, http://money.aol.com, will feature 20 new video clips from BLOOMBERG TELEVISION across the Money & Finance site, including its video site, http://money.aol.com/videos. BLOOMBERG TELEVISION content is created exclusively by the global BLOOMBERG NEWS® service, with 143 bureaus in 69 countries.
The new relationship also lets advertisers reach across AOL and BLOOMBERG TELEVISION content with a single campaign. Advertising on AOL’s site will be sold by AOL’s digital advertising business, Platform-A, http://www.platform-a.com, which will offer advertising opportunities in display advertising, video advertising and content-targeted links.
“Bloomberg has earned its reputation for outstanding coverage of the business and financial world, and we’re excited to be the first financial site, other than Bloomberg.com, to carry its video content,” said Marty Moe, Senior Vice President, AOL Money & Finance, News, Sports, Weblogs and KOL. “With the addition of Bloomberg to our video portfolio, coupled with the other improvements we’ve made to the Money & Finance site, we can provide users and advertisers a comprehensive and engaging place to get their financial news and information.”
In addition to BLOOMBERG TELEVISION, AOL Money & Finance features video from CNBC and other partners, and offers a comprehensive financial video experience powered by Truveo’s industry-leading video search tool.
