Can one somehow retrieve news data from Bloomberg?

More specifically: (a) Can one execute a command like the realtime command in order to get the latest x news from Bloomberg's news feed? (adding filters would be beneficial e.g. Oil related news only) (b) Can one establish a Bloomberg connection through which one would receive these data live (without essentially asking for them)?

Hi Yannis,

The answer is yes. Mathworks has several toolboxs which can retrieve data or create Bloomberg connection. Check datafeed toolbox to find more details.
