Casey Neistat and Team Hired By CNN - Beam To Shut Down

[LuvMyTJ]

Love him or hate him, Casey and his team have been bought up by CNN. They will close the Beam app and they will work on a new one for CNN. They want to tap his popularity.

The guy is hilarious and has marketed himself very well. I think his drone antics is what people see as either creative or reckless.

Not that Beme was much but it will now move into the Internet abyss. It appealed to a very small group of people to start with and now even a more limited number.

I agree... the Beam app seemed to be received well by the younger crowd. If it wasn't that Casey made it (with the team) I don't believe it would of been as popular as it was.
Apparently CNN feels the need to be "hip" now.

Well yeah, they cater to Hillary supporters, its no surprise that people call CNN the Clinton News Network and most Clinton supporters are young people, so they want to reach out to them.
