Facebook to launch new Watch platform for shows on mobile devices
According to Facebook, Watch will group together a wide range of shows, from reality to comedy to live sports. Moreover, some of the shows that will be hosted on the new platform have been funded by Facebook, including series like Returning the Favor created by Mike Rowe. The Watch platform will include many types of shows such as:
- Live shows that connect directly with fans;
- Shows that engage fans and community;
- Shows that follow a narrative arc or have a consistent theme;
- Live events that bring communities together.
The new Watch platform will be made available to a limited group of Facebook users in the United States, but the whole experience will expand to new people and territories soon. Also, the Shows section will be open to a limited group of creators, but access will be given to everyone soon.
