NEW YORK-( Business Wire )-

The New York Times (www.nytimes.com) today launched Business Day Live, a new live video program that will feature original video news reports of the day’s most important business stories on the NYTimes.com homepage every weekday morning.

The program is broadcast live from The Times newsroom, and offers the unique insights and analysis of reporters and columnists from The Times’s business, media and technology desks.

It features five rotating hosts, including David Gillen and Winnie O’Kelley, deputy business editors, and reporters Peter Lattman, Catherine Rampell and Louise Story. The show will run about six minutes at launch, with plans to expand it in the weeks and months ahead.

Business Day Live videos will be available on demand after they air, and will also be available via a video library on NYTimes.com.
