Billboard has launched a new digital channel, and it figures to be very active over the next 12 month. The channel is called Billboard News, and it will feature four short updates per day over the next year, for a total of nearly 1,500 uploads over that period.
As its name implies, Billboard News will feature all manner of relevant updates from the music world. The program will be anchored by HollywireTV host Chelsea Briggs and Kevan Kenney, who will team up to share the goings-on of top pop icons, discuss current trends in music culture, and run through the festival schedule.
