Thirteen/WNET and BLOOMBERG TV Team Up on Arts Programming

NEW YORK, July 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning this week, SundayArts, the weekly arts and cultural program produced by Thirteen/WNET New York, will feature segments of the award-winning BLOOMBERG TELEVISION(R) program Bloomberg Muse.

"This is a great, natural alliance," said Neal Shapiro, Thirteen CEO, President and SundayArts host, "and a win-win situation for Thirteen and our viewers. Both Thirteen and Bloomberg strive to bring the best arts and culture to the widest possible audience."

This Sunday's Bloomberg Muse segment of SundayArts is a profile of world-renowned choreographer Alexei Ratmansky, who resigned as head of the Bolshoi Ballet to pursue a freelance career. The New York City Ballet recently premiered his latest work, "Concerto DSCH," to great critical acclaim.

Bloomberg Muse is a weekly, half-hour global program giving viewers an inside look at the worlds of art, music, dance, architecture, design, philanthropy, fine dining and wine. It airs on the BLOOMBERG TELEVISION network every Friday at 8:30 Eastern time, and repeats throughout the weekend. Bloomberg Muse is also available on BLOOMBERG.COM(R) and is podcast on iTunes in the Business News category.

Every Sunday at noon, Thirteen/WNET's SundayArts offers arts and cultural news, profiles, interviews and performances from New York's celebrated theatre and concert halls. Additional information on all the arts and culture New York has on tap is available online at Thirteen.org/Sundayarts.
