What is Quibi?
It’s a subscription-based streaming platform designed to deliver short-form scripted and unscripted content to your cell phone. '''The name is a mash-up of the words “quick” and “bites,” a nod to the fact that episodes of Quibi shows will run roughly seven to ten minutes in length.
Katzenberg is the project’s founder, while former eBay and Hewlett-Packard boss Meg Whitman serves as Quibi’s chief executive officer. The content team includes ex–DC Entertainment president Diane Nelson, former CAA exec Jim Toth, former THR co-president Janice Min (who’s focusing on news and information programs), and former Viacom/MTV exec Doug Herzog. A slew of big-media conglomerates are also putting their financial heft behind Quibi: Investors include Warner Bros., NBCUniversal, Disney, BBC Studios, Lionsgate, and MGM, according to media reports.
