Company Summary

City News Beat delivers citizen-based news & weather on streaming Televisions so that those without cable tv can remain connected to their communities, on their terms. Our untethered audience has cut-the-cord, or never had a cable TV subscription, making them unreachable in the $69.2BB traditional local Television market.
We launched 2/10 and as of 3/31 had 5 markets on 2 platforms and 5,100+ users. We own our tech for acquisition & delivery.
