Bell Media has announced a cross-platform collaboration with former BNN Bloomberg anchor Jon Erlichman and his creator-driven financial news platform, Ticker Take.
Erlichman stepped away from his anchor role last September to embark on an entrepreneurial journey and devote more time to Ticker Take, which aims to make financial news simple and accessible. Since last October, Ticker Take has generated more than 2 billion views across platforms, including YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, and has produced more than 50 episodes of the Ticker Take Podcast.
As part of the new partnership with Bell Media, Ticker Take content will be distributed across its digital platforms, including BNN Bloomberg’s YouTube channel, as well as TikTok and the iHeartRadio Canada website and app, allowing audiences to access financial insights in new formats. Erlichman also continues as a regular contributor to BNN Bloomberg, both as a financial commentator and fill-in anchor. He’ll additionally share his insights on financial literacy and investing in weekly articles on the BNN Bloomberg website.
“Jon has been a remarkable presence in Canadian business journalism for more than 25 years,” said Richard Gray, VP News, Bell Media. “This continued collaboration with him allows us to leverage both his expertise and his growing digital presence to reach audiences in new ways.”
“Jon Erlichman’s approach to financial content on his @TickerTakewithJonErlichman YouTube channel demonstrates how creators can educate and inspire audiences at scale,” added Stephanie Wilson Chapin, News, Sports & TV Lead for YouTube in Canada. “We’re excited to see Bell Media create new types of content in partnership with creators to engage the huge audience in Canada and around the world on YouTube across all devices.”
