OpenAI has acquired TBPN (Technology Business Programming Network), a fast-growing tech talk show, marking its entry into the media space as it looks to expand its influence beyond AI products.
Founded in 2024 by John Coogan and Jordi Hays, TBPN has gained a strong following in Silicon Valley through its daily live broadcasts covering technology, business, and AI, often featuring top industry leaders.

The financial details of the acquisition have not been disclosed. However, the move is seen as part of OpenAI’s broader strategy to shape public discourse around artificial intelligence and strengthen its engagement with developers, enterprises, and the wider tech ecosystem.
TBPN will continue to operate with its existing format and editorial approach, with its team joining OpenAI. The platform is expected to play a role in enhancing the company’s communications, storytelling, and community engagement efforts.
