Bloomberg Television has the Wealthiest Audience

NEW YORK, August 2/PRNewswire/ --

- With new Survey data, Bloomberg leads in Europe as well as the U.S.

The release of the Summer 2007 European Media & Marketing Survey ("EMS") ranks the BLOOMBERG TELEVISION(R) network as the first choice business and financial news channel amongst Europe's 'influential elite'; BLOOMBERG TELEVISION also delivers the most affluent audience in the United States. These two statistics establish BLOOMBERG TELEVISION as the network of choice for influential viewers internationally.

For Europe, EMS (Top 13% of Adults 21-74) and the top end 'Select' boost (Top 3% of adults 21-74) reports(i) that:

          -- 276,142 viewers in the EMS 'Select' universe watch BLOOMBERG        TELEVISION every day, representing more than 89% over the daily         viewers delivered by any other pan-European Business & Financial News         channel.     -- According to the full EMS survey Bloomberg Television delivers 741,231        viewers every day, more than 70% over the daily viewers of any other        pan-European Business & Financial News channel.     -- Bloomberg Television now accounts for more than two-thirds (69.4%) of        all daily viewers of pan-European Business & Financial News channels        who are members of the top end 'Select' category.  

In addition to this EMS Europe data, Bloomberg Television continues to deliver the most affluent audience in the United States. According to the 2006 Mendelsohn Affluent Survey, which measures male and female heads of household living in the United States who have household incomes of US$85,000 or more, BLOOMBERG TELEVISION has the highest median household income among all cable networks. Additionally, MRI's 2007 Survey of the American Consumer, based on U.S. Adults aged 18 and over, Bloomberg Television is the top ranked cable network in Average Household and Individual Incomes of 88 networks measured.
