Cheddar launches new show called “Tech Drive”

Business news channel Cheddar has started a new show called “Tech Drive.”

In “Tech Drive,” Cheddar anchors interview venture capitalists, CEOs, influencers and entrepreneurs focused on disruption in the tech industry. Featured topics include mobility, smart cities, artificial intelligence and the future of work.

The interviews will be done while driving in a Volvo, which is hosting the show.

“‘Tech Drive’ perfectly encapsulates both Cheddar and Volvo’s passion for innovation and technology,” said Jon Steinberg, founder and CEO of Cheddar, in a statement. “The series will pay homage to Volvo’s key areas of innovation, including autonomous driving, electrification and connected car services.”

The “Tech Drive” segments will air during Cheddar’s “Between Bells” hour broadcast from New York City’s Flatiron Building and distributed across the social web.
