ABC News Launches Livestream Show Based on Online Trends

ABC News has officially introduced Searched, a livestreamed news program that highlights stories being discussed on social media and searched on the web. The show, first reported by Variety, began airing on the ABC News Live streaming channel in April.

According to a press release, Searched pulls real-time data from top search engines and social media platforms to provide topical news for its audience. This approach aims to engage viewers interested in what is currently trending online.

Recent episodes have covered topics such as an Illinois Powerball winner, NBA star Russell Westbrook's retirement, and Tropical Storm. The program provides a look at trending subjects as they emerge.

Searched is available on the Disney Plus and Hulu streaming services via the ABC News Live channel.
