Earlier this year VENN, the Video Game Entertainment and News Network, broke the 2020 mold by pushing its release date forward instead of backwards in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. With more people engaging with video games than ever before, it seemed like the perfect time to launch a games-focused entertainment network.

VENN will be inhabiting the Vista Studios in Los Angeles, with a second studio in New York to come next year--though it's likely many of its creators will work from home while the COVID-19 crisis continues.

Now, ahead of its August 5 launch, VENN has announced the lineup of shows that will carry its 24/7 live programming, along with a number of big-name personalities who have come on board.
