TYT Network said Final Judgment marks its first video series optimized for a platform other than YouTube, although the videos can also be seen on its YouTube channel.

Final Judgment will be posted to Facebook between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. ET each day, and the series features TYT founder and host Uygur sounding off on the biggest news story of the day, completely unscripted, with no teleprompters or writers.

SocialTimes spoke with TYT Network chief operating officer Steve Oh about the new series, and he said the aim is to appeal more to emotion on Facebook, enticing users to share more, noting that discovery on Facebook is all about sharing, while discovery on YouTube is driven by search.
