What is BBN?
How BBN works →▶ The BBN trailer: 30 seconds of the desk
BBN, the Bonkers Broadcasting Network, is a parody news channel that never goes off the air. Fictional cartoon anchors cover real headlines from outlets across the political spectrum (crime, pop culture, sports, politics, the weird stuff), and every story links back to the outlet that reported it.
Every segment is written by AI moments before it airs and read by AI voices. It is comedy, not a news organization.
