This is our second test broadcast.

News Headlines:

1. Facebook Watch
   • Facebook launched its Watch service back in August, for longer content like cooking shows, live sports, and reality shows.
   • They are now creating a system to allow original content creators to upload their programming for free and earn a portion of the advertising revenue. The company won’t buy the rights to these shows.

3. YouTube
   • YouTube has announced stricter ad policies to make its revenue-sharing program more selective.
   • Creators now need to accrue 4,000 hours of watched video within the prior 12 months, and have a minimum of 1,000 subscribers. The rules apply to new content creators, and existing partners.
   • Last year, marketers boycotted YouTube because their ads appeared alongside extremist videos.

4. Sleep
   • Get a good night’s sleep.
   • Try to avoid caffeine after 2 p.m.
   • Don’t pop sleeping pills before going to bed.
   • If you wake up in the middle of the night and are still awake after 20 minutes, get out of bed and find something boring to do so you can fall back asleep. Instead of turning on the TV, which is stimulating and can make you feel more alert, read a boring section of the newspaper or fold clothes.
