At KNX, we're proud to be a Bloomberg affiliate. The reporting team consistently delivers engaging business and consumer stories tailored to our local audience.

It is a privilege to partner with a trusted and respected brand like Bloomberg. The quality of Bloomberg content is second to none – it's topical, informative and entertaining. Bloomberg talent is equally impressive – flexible, responsive and sharp.
