Bloomberg is Off The Air
Every week since 2002 Bloomberg had been goiing on the air live on the station WABC. The mayor would discuss an array of topics, including his taste of food as well as personal life. The program, "Live From City hall" aired every nearle every friday from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Recently, however, Bloomberg has not been on partly because the host of the show was fired. John Gambling was let go last week because the station's company cut down on the budget. The new host is curtis Silwa and he says he will approach the show with the nation as a whole in mind. Unfortunately Bloomberg has refused to go on the air with this new host, but would like to continue doing his radio appeareances. The 6 year run is done for now but he will surely find another station that will have him on.

Bloomberg is Out!
As of last week, Bloomberg has announced that he will not enter the 2008 presidential race, but with so much influence and media attention building up over the past few months, it'll be exciting to see if Bloomberg will endorse a current candidate and if so, who. There has been a bit of speculation that Bloomberg might run on the Democratic party ticket, alongside Barack (if the Senator wins the nomination). I say speculation loosely, considering it derives from a comment made by the Deputy Mayor on NY1 (a new York broadcast network, who suggested that Bloomberg run with Obama. It may not be substantial at the moment, but if the idea of a Bloomberg ticket snowballs into the media it might stir up some voter interests. Regardless, who Bloomberg endorses will play a pivotal role in that candidate's campaign. The Independents backing Bloomberg, as well as the support he's gained from his undercover campaign could quite possibly swing a popular vote towards the political left or right and thus have a huge impact on the General Election.
