Vice World News to launch original channel and show on Twitch
News in brief
Vice World News is claiming to be the first global news publisher to launch an original show and channel on Twitch.
The two-hour show, co-hosted by Dexter Thomas and Samir Ferdowsi, will debut on August 23 and air Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00am-1:00pm ET.
The show will “offer a distinctive Vice News take on major news stories and highlight Vice News’ biggest scoops and investigations”.
Other news publications have already dipped their toes into Twitch—Rolling Stone and The Washington Post have (irregularly) hosted streams on the platform, and startup news outlet The Recount launched a first-of-its-kind live news program on Twitch in May.
