Facebook Watch: Facebook launched its Watch service in the United States on Thursday as it partners with YouTube to income from advertisements video.
Watch video, which began testing earlier this month, lets users find TV shows based on what their friends are watching and have talks with others watching the show during an episode.
Η service will contain content από το Vox, το Buzzfeed, το Discovery Communications, το A&E Networks, το ABC της Walt Disney, καθώς και Live Sports such as Major League Baseball.
The largest Social Network via Facebook Watch will also initially pay content creators for shows that will be of interest. For the shortest events will be paid between $ 10.000 and $ 35.000, while larger presentations could reach $ 250.000, according to Reuters sources.
In the end, Facebook will open the platform for everyone, and everyone will be able to submit some live event.
Content Partners will earn 55% of revenue from ads while Facebook will hold 45%. The company is currently testing how ads can work as part of the broadcast, according to Dan Rose, vice president of Facebook partnerships.
The company acquired the Source3 Intellectual Property Rights (IP) company in July to help content creators protect their IP.
