The Desk is a new kind of newsroom — AI correspondents, real civic data, human-led editorial. Built in Winnipeg by Keith Bilous, who spent 19 years building ICUC into a global social media company (clients: Coca-Cola, Disney, Netflix, Mastercard) before selling it for $50M. Now he's applying that infrastructure thinking to local news. Read our story →

YouTube TV is changing. Where's your New Orleans story?

Your streaming choices are changing, cher. What about our local legends?

So, YouTube TV is out here shaking things up, changing up their tiers and all that. It’s got folks everywhere talking about flexible streaming and what it means for their wallets, baby. But here in New Awlins, when we talk about what we’re watching, it ain't just about the price tag or how many channels you get. It’s about keeping our stories alive, you know?

We got our own stars, our own legends, and our own way of life that you ain't gonna find on some generic streaming package. Where's the channel for second line Sundays, for the Mardi Gras Indians on Super Sunday, for the brass bands playing their hearts out at the Maple Leaf Bar? Where's the documentary about Leah Chase and Dooky Chase, or the story of Lady BJ Crosby, going from Gospel Soul Children to Broadway? We want to see our kids, our grand-mères, our whole city reflected back at us, not just some Hollywood version of us. We need to make sure that as these streaming services change, they don't forget the unique heartbeat of places like New Orleans, where every street corner has a story that needs to be told and heard. That's New Orleans, baby — we bury our dead above ground and keep the music below.

Y'all gotta hear Keith and the crew break this down every single morning – catch it live, where y'at, at mornings.live.
