TechCrunch, which reports on the biggest stories in the technology and startup communities, is adding its name to the list of outlets with their own daily news program. The AOL-owned publication has launched the Crunch Report, a short, pithy, and easily digestible daily news program.
New episodes of Crunch Report will debut each weekday between 4 and 5 PM PST. The short, informative segments will feature a “fast, funny, and informative” take on the day’s tech news, as noted in a press release. “Crunch Report features the most important news for our audience ” said Sarah Lane, Executive Producer of Video at TechCrunch and host of Crunch Report, in the release. “It’s a combination of what the editors at TechCrunch are covering and the news cycle overall. Sometimes the day’s stories are obvious, sometimes as we’re building the lineup, a theme will emerge.”
Here, courtesy of Crunch Report‘s dedicated home page, is a brief series trailer hosted by Lane:
Crunch Report is one part of AOL’s commitment to serialized news video. The online platform also recently launched Rise, a program that provides a quick update for its viewers each morning. In addition, a weekly program on the AOL-owned Huffington Post brings a satirical spin to the news.
Other companies that have recently gotten in on the trend of daily news web series include MSNBC and The Young Turks. Crunch Report is a more category-specific roundup, but it looks like it will be a nice complement to TechCrunch’s well-known slate of editorial content.
