I thought this was an April Fools joke.

OpenAI officially acquired the media company TBPN, AKA the “ESPN of Tech Business.” 

For a company that said they weren’t doing “side quests” anymore, this is a wild pivot into podcasting, live-streaming and video news.

Is OpenAI trying to become a media powerhouse? And what implications while this have on TBPN editorially?

OpenAI has acquired TBPN (Tech Business Production Network), a daily live podcast/media outlet covering tech business news. The acquisition raises editorial independence questions — whether the show can still joke about OpenAI, interview competitors like Anthropic and Google, or maintain its current format. The move is seen as surprising given OpenAI's stated focus on avoiding distractions from its core mission.
