CNBC announced Wednesday that it is launching a digital series called “Binge” hosted by Carl Quintanilla that will focus on the media content business.
The show will debut June 6 and can be seen online at CNBC.com/binge as wel as on Apple TV, Hulu and YouTube. Excerpts will air on CNBC’s “Squawk Alley.”
Quintanilla will sit down with some of the industry’s content creators to discuss the ever-evolving media landscape and the new challenges they are facing when it comes to figuring out how best to get their content into consumers’ hands. Quintanilla also looks at the impact of social media and how it can help — or hurt — the success of a project.
“It’s probably the most exciting time in media since the mass adoption of TV,” said Quintanilla in a statement. “At work or with friends, people always ask, ‘What are you binge-watching?’ And with this new series, ‘Binge,’ we want to help viewers understand this new era through the eyes of those making the content. For TV junkies and film buffs, this is the conversation you always wanted to have.”
