Reuters rolled out a new version of its Reuters TV service on Wednesday.
This new version includes featured programs – thematic programs curated and hosted by Reuters journalists – alongside live feeds of global events and personalized video newscasts.
The update includes a major redesign on both Apple TV and the Web that seeks to set the standard for premium online video delivery.
Reuters TV is available for iOS and tvOS devices on the Apple App Store, Android devices via Google Play, and on the web at Reuters.tv.
“This update brings us closer to our vision of deconstructing the traditional TV news experience and reimagining it for today,” said Isaac Showman, managing director of Reuters TV, in a statement.
Introduced in 2015, Reuters TV is aimed at consumers too busy to watch traditional TV. Session frequency on Reuters TV has doubled in the past year, as session length has grown 68 percent and the number of active users has grown by 22 times.
The thematic, editorially-curated programs range in topics from Zika to Brexit to the battle to retake Mosul. Multiple new programs will be added each week
The live feed on Reuters TV ranges from protests to presidential speeches.
