More Channels Tune in to Twitch

At last check, Twitch is home to more than a dozen 24/7 “channels,” including ones run and programmed by Fail Army, The Pet Collective, Shout TV, Baeble, Machinima, IGN, Red Bull TV, Arcade Cloud and Choppertown. Recent additions include Cheddar, the tech and business news service focused on affluent millennials, and Eleven Prime, a new offering from Eleven Sports that features an array of live sporting events, including basketball, baseball and football, as well as darts, drone racing and other sports that it believes have dedicated, underserved fan bases.

Twitch focuses on a gamer-centric audience, but its expansion into more content indicates that “Amazon would like for it to be more,” Brett Sappington, senior director of research at Parks Associates, said.
