Cheddar is a live news network which was founded by Jon Steinberg. Focusing on financial topics, it broadcasts live from the New York Stock Exchange, the Flatiron Building, NASDAQ and even the White House.

The Channel has one paid feed and a free version, too. The paid option comes with 8 hours of programming each day, with 6 of them live. The free feed offers only 3 hours of new content each day. Archived content is available over the air via affiliated stations and through Facebook, which means users can easily stay up to date.

The Cheddar network was founded in 2016 and focuses on news in the financial, technology, health and science industries, to name but a few. In 2018, Cheddar launched its second live streaming channel, Cheddar Big News. This channel focuses on fast-paced, independent news and targets a younger audience. This second channel from Cheddar is available on several streaming platforms, including Philo, AT&T TV NOW, Sling TV and YouTube TV.

Cheddar Big News focuses on all of the biggest news which is taking place across the world. Besides covering the latest on topics such as the US President and the economy, this channel will cover anything from weather and animals to science.

The channel premiered on YouTube TV and was then extended to other streaming services. The first integrated sponsor for the network was Coca-Cola.

The coverage on Cheddar Big News is similar to what CNN’s Headlines News offered, meaning that it essentially revolves around the most important national and world news. The content on this live channel will include reports, press releases, politics, headline news, and a lot more. Besides, it will also cover sports, science, wellness, health, positive stories, travel, and so on.

Cheddar Big News focuses on interesting stories from local and international communities with an emphasis on top news. The founder stated that they cover the important news of the day, but they do not integrate excessive expert political analysis.
