Facebook has announced that it has solidified contracts with nearly 140 media companies for its Facebook Live service. Facebook has pledged to pay content producers over $50 million for more Live content and will expand what is already one of the most popular features of the site.
Live streaming has the potential to be big business, and a possibly lucrative advertising market. There are already numerous media outlets (aside from us) utilizing Facebook Live on a pretty regular basis including The New York Times, BuzzFeed, Al Jazeera and others.
