Substack on TVs + Ad Performance

January 28, 2026 |

This week Substack launched a new app for TVs to bring videos and livestreams to your living room. The comment section has not been kind. But it is another step in the direction Substack has been going towards a general social media network. I'm not sure if a TV app makes sense on that path but it does show they're committed to it.

Also the featured newsletters this week cover marketing, education, agencies, and more!
