UK digital publishers are struggling with Facebook's Watch channel, set to roll out some time next year. In the US, the social media giant has been clear about the content it wants for Watch, and has offered generous subsidies. But internationally, one anonymous publisher complained there was no formal pitching process in place, while submitted suggestions for content had been met with "no feedback and zero movement". The U.K. timeline for the rollout of the dedicated Watch tab is still unclear. The BBC is also looking at how its online video service will be presented on Apple TV, which launches later this month.
