Twitch Is Developing Talk Shows and Dating Programs for Gamers

Twitch, the online video site popular among gamers, is looking for its version of “The Bachelor.” From a report:

The company plans to fund a slate of original, unscripted series that would be live and interactive, airing two to three times a week, according to an internal document seen by Bloomberg. Its preferred genres are game shows, dating shows, sports, music and talk – many of the cornerstones of reality TV. The global health crisis has provided Twitch, owned by Amazon.com Inc., a rare opportunity to broaden its audience and experiment with new kinds of programming. While many TV networks have struggled to produce shows during the pandemic, Twitch’s most popular personalities have always filmed themselves from home.
