The link has been in place for 7 years, and both parties say they will now develop independent strategies. Bloomberg TV India had distribution to some 30 million Indian homes.
Business Broadcast News will hold onto the distribution channel but will re-brand the service on April st1.
Bloomberg, reportedly, will announce a new media partner soon.
