Sarah Palin Launches Online Video Channel

LOS ANGELES: Former Alaska governor and one-time U.S. VP candidate Sarah Palin has launched her own subscription-based online video network, the Sarah Palin Channel.

The network is available on the TAPP platform, which was founded by Jeff Gaspin, the former chairman of NBC Universal Television, and Jon Klein, the former president of CNN/U.S. The network gives supporters access to and interaction with Palin. Palin serves as executive editor for the channel, overseeing all content posted to it online. This includes videos and commentary on issues facing the nation.

"Subscription video is taking off," said Gaspin, who serves as TAPP's chairman. "Audiences are clearly open to paying for premium access to deeper dive content they love." 

"Well-known personalities enjoy the connection to their supporters and control over the content," added Klein, TAPP's CEO.  "That's why TAPP is preparing to expand our roster even further."
