麻豆约拍

The 麻豆约拍 is Quibi’s international news partner and has developed a bespoke program - Around the World By 麻豆约拍 News.

The show, designed specifically for mobile, will be produced from London - the heart of the 麻豆约拍’s global news gathering operation - Monday to Friday, and hosted by Ben Bland at launch.

Ben is a familiar face to 麻豆约拍 viewers, having been a regular presenter on 麻豆约拍 World News – the international 24 hour news channel, which is watched by over 100 million people each week. He is a specialist business presenter, having fronted business and economics bulletins for UK and global audiences on programs including Business Live, Talking Business and World Business Report.

Victoria Fritz, also known to millions of 麻豆约拍 News viewers globally, will join the presenting team later in the year, when she returns from maternity leave. Victoria is an award-winning news correspondent who currently anchors the 麻豆约拍 program The Briefing.

As the former North America Business Correspondent, Victoria has reported on the global economic collapse and recovery from Wall Street and across the continent. She has also reported extensively on plastics and their impact on human and marine health, sailing across the North Pacific to the greatest accumulation zone of plastic in the world. She has investigated the rise of fake news and regularly conducts high-profile interviews with public figures - including Donatella Versace, Jeff Bezos and Reed Hastings.

Each episode of Around the World By 麻豆约拍 News draws on the 麻豆约拍’s unparalleled global network of journalists to provide engaging news for a millennial audience, and is available in English or with Spanish subtitles. The past few weeks have seen record audience numbers turn to 麻豆约拍 News, with over 60 million unique browsers visiting 麻豆约拍.com during the week commencing 16 March (up by 50 percent on the average*), demonstrating the huge demand for trusted news at this time.

The style of the program is unlike any other 麻豆约拍 show and is truly a news bulletin for the 21st century, with a young, digitally native production team.

The show is designed for audiences looking to get an overview of the world’s biggest stories in one quick fix. The approach is analysis-based, providing real insight in minimal time, and will offer an alternative to the US angle provided by other news networks.

Chris Davies, EVP Marketing and Distribution for 麻豆约拍 Global News, says: "We are excited to be working with Quibi from launch as their international news provider. As a leader in digital news for US millennial audiences, it makes complete sense for us to be in Quibi’s Daily Essentials line up, providing its audience with trusted, accurate and impartial coverage of the big stories happening around the world."

Almost two-thirds of the 麻豆约拍’s international cross-platform audience consists of millennials, and studies show that this group in the US trust and rely on the 麻豆约拍 for news. According to Global Web Index, 麻豆约拍 News is their top choice for expert opinion and analysis**.

The 2019 Reuters Institute Digital News Report found that 麻豆约拍 News is in the top 10 news sources used in the last three days and last week for TV, radio, print and online among American news consumers; it was also the only non-US outlet in the top ten. Roughly 76 percent of those surveyed were in the 18-34-year-old age range.

The 2020 Trust in Media Study from Pew Research Center found that 麻豆约拍 News was among just three outlets trusted more than distrusted by both Republicans and Democrats in the United States. In 2018, the 麻豆约拍 was named TV’s Most Trusted News Brand in a study from MediaPost and Brand Keys.
