I believe Bloomberg is mainly designed to appeal to Bloomberg Terminal clients mainly, rather than just linear tv users. Hence the info-rich screens.

The Squawk Box intro reminds of the 2003 one (only Joe Kernen is in both I think).

No idea why the Samsung version has switched back to the main global feed. The opt-out can't be a Sky exclusive if you're also getting it on BTTV.
One thing that's changed since I last watched is that there's a horrible clash of logos in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, with the NBC News Now logo sitting on top of the animating Today/NBC News one. Other than that, though, it's great to be able to watch in the morning again.
All good things come to an end as NBC News Now has been removed from EETV (formally BTTV), replaced with a loop saying ‘This channel is no longer available’.

BTTV/EE TV take NOW feeds of the channels, although they're not the same ones used for the NOW apps, so when NBC News Now left, it also left that platform.
The bonus is that when NOW gets a new channel, so do BT/EE TV customers.

I didn’t even realise it had left Now. I wonder what the reason is.
Edit: I’ve since found this article.

Maybe some of the product placements (a few Steals and Deals segments), commercials and local opt outs were a pain to edit into the UK feed?
KNBC moved back to their studio after moving out in October for a renovation. It does not seem to be major set replacement to me, rather adding LED walls to hide some bits. It appears they left the LED wall be hind the anchors, with the diffused larger pixel LED wall behind it which normally showed an animating peacock. The news desk got smaller. The weather center appears to have stayed put but they placed a giant LED wall in front of it (I think on the left side of it I still see the old monitor wall for the Wx center). On the anchor left I have not seen images of, where the three mounted vertical monitors are, but next to the area were three stacked horizontal monitors and at a almost perpindicular angle to that monitor stack is a new LED wall used for traffic.
Also appears the floors were painted.

I did wonder why the listings on the Now TV guide have been saying 'NBC News Now has closed' for days, even though it was still working. Very bizarre that it's come off platforms owned by its parent company.
I'm glad it's still on Samsung TV Plus, which has recently added CNBC too.
I guess that's finally the end of the Today show in the mornings for me, then, unless anyone knows of any other platforms where it lives on?

That's the main global feed, which is the same one that's on Samsung TV Plus.
There was a slightly different UK feed that showed the Today show Tuesday to Saturday from 7-10am UK time. It was originally on Sky, Now and Samsung but the Samsung feed switched back to the main one (midway through an edition of Today!) a while ago.

The funny thing is that NBC News Now is still being shown on Virgin Media. Odd that Comcast should remove it from Sky but not from their competitor. Wonder if a deal to bring CNN back to Sky is in the works.
