Popular digital currency YouTuber and investor Jason Appleton is launching a TV show that is to be funded entirely by Bitcoin. Appleton, who goes by the name Crypto Crow on YouTube, will air his 13-episode Crypto Crow Show on CBS, the CW, and Roku, with estimates suggesting an audience of more than 47 million households.
The Crypto Crow Show will initially air in selected markets to test whether it can generate enough viewer interest. Should it prove successful, it will go national under a deal Appleton has signed with CBS Television Networks.
The official announcement reads:
“This will be the first time a cryptocurrency Youtuber has launched their own television series fully paid for by Bitcoin. All promotional sponsors, features and the like are paid by Bitcoin.”
The first season will premiere on June 25, reaching audiences in New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Atlanta, and Tampa Bay. Additionally, it will be available to some 30 million households through the Roku streaming service.
“Each episode will feature educational information focused on helping newcomers to the crypto space such as researching, investing and how to stay secure in their efforts while featuring ICO and cryptocurrency companies and how they affect the industry,” the statement added.
The episodes are carefully planned and will touch on issues such as the nature of digital currencies, exchange trading, initial coin offerings, cryptocurrency security, swing trading, bot trading for profits, crypto market predictions, crypto cycles and crashes, virtual currency mining versus investing, and the future of digital assets.
Appleton gained popularity and established himself as a major online influencer when he launched his Crypto Show on Youtube in November 2017. His subscriber base exceeded 70,000 in just three months.
