text: BNN Bloomberg (formerly Business News Network and Report on Business Television) is a Canadian English language discretionary specialty channel owned by Bell Media. It broadcasts programming related to business and financial news and analysis. The channel is headquartered at 299 Queen Street West in Downtown Toronto.
  Since April 30, 2018, the network has operated as a partner of the U.S. business channel Bloomberg Television, although BNN still produces a large portion of its business day programming in-house. Much of the channel's programming is also simulcast on radio, branded as BNN Bloomberg Radio, by CKOC in Hamilton and formerly by CFTE in Vancouver.
  History
  As Report on Business Television (RoBTV)
  The network was licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in 1996 to a joint venture of Thomson Corporation (50%), Western International Communications (25%) and Cancom (25%). It launched on September 1, 1999, as Report on Business Television (although using the abbreviation ROBTv); it was co-branded with Report on Business, the business news section of the Thomson-owned The Globe and Mail.
  In 2000, Canwest acquired WIC and its interest in ROBTv. As part of the agreement transferring WIC's interests in Cancom to Shaw Communications, Canwest acquired Cancom's share of the channel as well.
