VICELAND
It’s a TV Channel

Viceland, launched in early 2016, is the expansion of the digital media brand Vice into an international television channel. With original programming that focuses on lifestyle and documentary driven content for millennial audiences, the network features programs hosted by Ellen Page, Desus Nice & The Kid Mero, and Gloria Steinem. Join Vice and Gretel for a discussion on the process of pitching, crafting and designing for the launch of a cross-platform TV channel set within the confines of a traditional media landscape.
