YouTube TV adds The Young Turks and Tastemade channels
YouTube TV is adding two more digital media companies to its slate -- Tastemade and TYT Network. The move follows the recent addition of Cheddar and Cheddar Big News to the service. Both companies will produce new shows on top of existing content that will be included on their channels, with Tastemade set to create 10 new series and TYT Network producing four new shows. "We've seen them build huge and engaged audiences over the years [on YouTube]," Heather Moosnick, director of YouTube TV's content partnerships, told Variety. "In news and lifestyle, these are really compelling content areas for us. We're excited to see them join the rest of the best of television, which YouTube TV already carries."
You can now watch TED Talks on your Apple TV
If you like the idea of watching thought-provoking presentations from the comfort of your couch, you're in for a good time. The Apple TV now has a dedicated TED Talks app, so you can watch discussions of public shaming or the future of image recognition on the big screen without streaming from another device or digging through other services. And don't worry if you're in the mood for lighter fare -- Apple has also brought in apps for Tastemade's food and travel network as well as Young Hollywood's eclectic cultural mix. All of the newly available services are free, so you'll have plenty to check out while you're waiting for Apple's long-fabled TV service.
Daily App: Tastemade will turn you into a professional food critic
Tastemade is a clever app that allows you to capture your meal as you dine out and create a food show from the experience in a matter of minutes. By emphasizing the meal and the dining experience, Tastemade allows you to celebrate what you love most about food. Tastemade includes a variety of storyboards that make it easy for you to create a Food TV-style show. Just pick your template and follow the prompts to record each section of your video review. The app will then splice the raw footage together and automatically add filters and a soundtrack to your clip. The production quality in the app is very good -- you will end up with a 60-second montage that you can be proud of. Tastemade is as much about creating as it is about sharing. Each clip you create is one minute long, which makes it easy for you to record and share a show before your potatoes get cold. You can share your episode with the Tastemade community and with your friends on Facebook and Twitter. Embedding and private link options are also available. You can also use Tastemade to watch episodes from fellow food lovers. Not only will you be inspired by the videos other people create, but you'll also get a glimpse into some of the fine dining available in your local area. Tastemade is available for free from the iOS App Store. There are no ads and no in-app purchases. The app requires you to sign up for an account if you want to create a video. You can watch other videos within the app without registering for an account.
