The NYSE has also imposed additional rules in response to shareholder protection controls, e.g. in 2012,

6840-460: The now-defunct American Independent Network carried a simulcast of the channel at various times each weekday from 1995 to 1997, which was picked up by some broadcast stations in early morning periods to provide a de facto morning business show.

Similarly, there was a panic in the financial world during the year of 1997; the Asian Financial Crisis . Like the fall of many foreign markets, the Dow suffered a 7.18% drop in value (554.26 points) on October 27, 1997, in what later became known as

7125-536: The pre-2007 datascreen. On Monday September 22, 2014, Bloomberg Television dropped the long-standing live stock ticker as part of the new on screen information format.

7505-516: The second-biggest one-day drop the exchange had experienced. Black Monday was followed by Terrible Tuesday, a day in which the Exchange's systems did not perform well and some people had difficulty completing their trades. Subsequently, there was another major drop for the Dow on October 13, 1989—the Mini-Crash of 1989 . The crash was apparently caused by a reaction to a news story of a $ 6.75 billion leveraged buyout deal for UAL Corporation,

7600-404: The section "Notable bell-ringers"). The signal to start and stop trading was not always a bell; a gavel was the original signal, which is still utilized alongside the bell.

After the NYSE changed to its present location at 18 Broad Street in 1903,

7695-452: The simulcast ended in January 2009, when it was felt it had expanded digital cable footprint enough to discontinue the simulcast.

7885-456: The time by Blonder-Tongue Broadcasting, was dark and not broadcasting. Eugene Inger revived the station by investing in Channel 68, which served the New York City market.

Keith Houser,

7980-483: The trading floor below. Some traders booed, and some laughed and waved. Three months later the stock exchange enclosed the gallery with bulletproof glass.

8455-413: Was increased several times over the years. In 1953, the number of seats was set permanently at 1,366. These seats were a sought-after commodity as they conferred the ability to directly trade stock on the NYSE, and seat holders were commonly referred to as members of the NYSE. Seat prices varied widely over the years, generally falling during recessions and rising during economic expansions. In January 1927

8740-530: Was reformatted several times to include a moving stock ticker and accommodate new graphics. The datascreen format was phased out in late 2007, where the programs were seen almost in full-screen with the ticker and headlines bar confined to the lower part of the screen. However, Bloomberg HD (available in the US only) features more data boxes on the right side of the screen compared to its SD counterpart. This effectively makes on-screen presentation on Bloomberg HD resemble

8835-526: Was severely reprimanded for breach of Ofcom rules during the 2005 UK national (General) election . Bloomberg was found to have shown pro- Labour Party bias. This occurred because of a breach of British law. In the run up to a general election, television channels must provide equal time to all major political parties.

8930-507: Was the first television station on the West Coast to offer daily market news accompanied by a digital stock ticker "crawl" at the bottom of the screen.
