According to sources, CNN has acquired Beme, the app founded by popular YouTuber Casey Neistat. As part of the deal, Neistat will serve as an executive producer leading his 11 Beme team members into a new media sub-brand under CNN’s umbrella. Beme allowed users to share quick, short clips of video without edits but never quite took off like comparable social video apps. CNN is acquiring Beme with the intent of investing in the developers and content creators to create a new brand focused on a millennial audience. Casey Neistat recently announced he is ending his popular daily vlog to pursue other ventures. Beme will be shutting down 1/31/2017.
