OpenAI acquires TBPN, the buzzy founder-led business talk show [streaming about tech, AI news]

TBPN is a daily live show focused on technology, business/startups, and AI.

It has been generating around $30 million annually, so that's why the acquisition is estimated to be ~$100–300M.

The show has already hosted major names like Mark Zuckerberg, Satya Nadella, and Sam Altman.

And now, OpenAI bought this media company (so it means it will have more media power to influence / and trendset what the show will be broadcast)

It is questionable whether the show can maintain its editorial independence and be objective when covering the very company that owns it.

Do you consider this a smart distribution strategy? (positioning themselves as a trusted source)

Or a move to shape public perception opinion on what "should be admired or hated"?
