Time-Warner’s CNN, part of the Turner Boradcasting division, is looking to boost viewership among younger audiences with the launch of CNN Digital Studios. The new studios will roll out multiple series designed for social-media-savvy audiences, including Your 15-second Morning, a 15-second news show that will be create and distributed on Twitter; Related with Dave Franco, a series about siblings of celebrities (co-produced by Funny or Die); Brutally Honest with Kelly Wallace; Live to 100 with Sanjay Gupta; and Crossfire Reloaded, a digital companion to CNN’s debate show.
Other shows are under development for the future, according to the Wall Street Journal, including one by a protege of chef Anthony Bourdain and another starring an ex-NFL player who highlights productivity in people’s lives.
