Punchbowl News launches YouTube show called Fly Out Day
The Capitol publication Punchbowl News will launch a weekly YouTube show called Fly Out Day — a test of whether the shift toward video that is underway across other forms of media will work in the text-heavy and information-hungry Washington, D.C., market, where network Sunday shows remain the premier video product, states a post on Semafor.
Fly Out Day will be a “modern political show that is very in the moment and focused on the politics of legislating,” said Punchbowl CEO Anna Palmer, right in photo, who is co-hosting the show with her co-founder Jake Sherman, left in photo. They’ll feature “sharp interviews with key newsmakers and roundtable conversations with plugged-in reporters,” but they “don’t want it to look like anything on TV,” she said, adding that Punchbowl has pre-sold advertising. As for the name: It’s the end of the week, when lawmakers head home — and stop by Punchbowl’s studio on the way.
