Go There, described as a single-topic daily news show running 10-15 minutes, is slated to debut this summer. After a year on Facebook Watch, CNN’s Anderson Cooper Full Circle daily news program will leave the social platform next month—and instead will run on the cable news network’s own digital properties starting in September.

In addition to launching its reboot of MTV’s The Real World and new scripted originals starring Zac Efron, Anna Kendrick and Jessica Biel, the company also has publisher-produced projects coming including BuzzFeed’s Mi Quinceanera Come True, Studio71’s Fetch Me A Date and Tastemade’s Sundays At Nonna’s.

Additionally, Facebook and ProSiebenSat.1 have inked a content pact that will see the German broadcast and media giant place short episodes and clips of its content on Watch. (Variety)
Facebook said Wednesday that 720 million people per month spend at least one minute on Watch, and 140 million people do so daily, with those daily visitors spending more than 26 minutes there on average. (Adweek)
