BBN in one paragraph
BBN (Bagholder Broadcasting Network) is a 24/7 parody news channel streamed live on YouTube. Fictional cartoon anchors cover real market data and real headlines from more than ninety news outlets across the political spectrum, with AI-written scripts read by AI voices. It is comedy, not financial advice and not a news organization.
Every segment is written by AI moments before it airs, voiced by AI, and animated live in a cut-paper cartoon studio. The jokes are invented; the headlines, prices and the outlets credited on screen are real. BBN also makes Margin Callers, a one-minute animated sitcom about three Wall Street bro roommates, and a daily market game, Call the Close.
Live counts from the broadcast since October 5, 2026.
