As expected, Facebook Inc. unveiled several news-focused shows that it is funding for its Watch video platform.
The shows, which will be available exclusively on Facebook Watch, are "On Location," a daily news show from ABC News; weekly series "Chasing Corruption" from Advance Local; ATTN: INC's "Undivided ATTN"; CNN (US)'s "Anderson Cooper Full Circle"; FOX News Channel (US)'s "Fox News Update"; Mic's "Mic Dispatch" and Univision (US)'s "Real America with Jorge Ramos."
The shows will debut later this summer, Campbell Brown, head of global news partnerships at Facebook, said in an official June 6 post. The company plans to announce additional shows in the coming weeks.
"We will work closely with our publisher partners to experiment with these different formats to understand what works, and they will have full editorial control of their shows," Brown said.
