Bloomberg TV has hired Anna Edwards as a London-based anchor, the network announced this week. Edwards will co-anchor “Countdown,” which airs in the U.S. at 2amET, alongside Mark Barton.
Edwards was most recently a freelance anchor for CNN International’s “World Business Today.” She previously worked at CNBC Europe, where she spent eight years as co-anchor of “Squawk Box Europe,” “Capital Connection, “European Closing Bell” and “Europe Tonight.”
“Anna is a strong addition to the Bloomberg Television presenting team here in Europe having covered many major global economic and financial events, interviewed countless business leaders and her experience of reporting on the rapidly moving developments in the markets will enhance our current output,” Malcolm Fried, head of Bloomberg TV in Europe, said in a statement.
