OpenAI (OPAI.PVT) is buying the hottest tech news show around.
TBPN — which stands for Technology Business Programming Network — is being acquired by OpenAI, the company said on Thursday.
Its co-founder and co-host of the company’s daily livestream, John Coogan, said in a post on X that the show won’t change as a result of the acquisition. Coogan and his co-host, Jordi Hays, will continue to stream daily at 2:00 p.m. ET. Hays confirmed the deal in his own post on the social network.
Coogan and Hays began working on TBPN in late 2024, and their daily livestreams covering business news from the perspective of two founders steeped in the venture capital world began to take off in early 2025.
Over the past year, TBPN has become one of the key stops on the media circuit for tech execs, particularly founders and venture capitalists. Both Coogan and Hays had been founders before launching TBPN.
The deal also marks the biggest media play yet for OpenAI, which continues to aggressively raise funding as it prepares for an expected IPO later this year.
The company earlier this week closed its latest round of funding, which ballooned to $122 billion and gave the company an $852 billion post-money valuation.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
