BitTorrent’s live TV news network will launch on July 18 at the Republican National Convention

BitTorrent has revealed that it will launch its much-touted live news network on July 18 at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Cleveland, Ohio. The news comes less than a week after the company revealed that it had hired a former Vice and CNN producer to head up the new BitTorrent News streaming channel. Serving as news director, Harrison Bohrman will lead a team of six, which includes a triumvirate of former Al Jazeera reporters and producers, presumably made possible by Al Jazeera America’s decision to close shop earlier this year.
