…White House Launches 24/7 Streaming Channel Amid Media Access Dispute
The White House has launched a 24/7 streaming channel dubbed “Trump TV”, offering viewers access to past moments, announcements, and other content from President Donald Trump’s administration.
CDA News Nigeria reports that the White House announced the launch on its official X account on Monday, saying the stream would be updated in real time.
CDA News Nigeria gathered that the stream, officially titled “TRUMP TV: The Essentials Station,” is available through the White House website and its YouTube channel.
“IT’S LIVE. Trump TV is Streaming Now. 24/7, updated in real time, with top past moments, announcements, and the latest and greatest from the administration all in one place. Not every big moment has made it on your TV; now it can,” the White House said.
The launch came amid an escalating dispute between the Trump administration and several major US news organisations over access to the White House. Trump recently barred CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from White House grounds, prompting the three organisations to sue the administration over the decision.
Major television networks — ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC — subsequently suspended their shared White House pool coverage in solidarity with the affected outlets. The White House has defended its approach to media access, while Trump has criticised what he describes as unfair or “fake news” coverage of his administration.
The first Trump TV broadcast featured previously recorded footage, including Trump’s July 3 address at Mount Rushmore, rather than a live presidential event. The new channel gives the White House a direct platform for distributing video of Trump and his administration without relying solely on television networks for coverage.
