Andreessen Horowitz and angel investors have seeded Monitoring the Situation (MTS), a media startup that streams live interviews and analysis of tech, business, politics, and culture on X. MTS aims to replicate CNN’s rolling-news concept online by hosting experts and main characters of the moment to decode events as they unfold.

• Andreessen Horowitz and angel investors (Dan Romero, Packy McCormick, Soona Amhaz, Julia DeWahl, Zach Perrett, others) have seeded MTS, a live-streaming media startup built natively on X
• MTS is essentially trying to recreate CNN's rolling-news format for the X platform, using hosts like Mark Halperin, Jack Farley, and Steven Sinofsky to interview key figures on breaking tech/business/political stories in real time
• Andreessen frames the pitch as "sense-making"—continuous interpretation of fast-moving events rather than traditional scheduled broadcast news
• The startup is actively recruiting additional hosts, guests, and sponsors through Discord and a public pitch email, signaling it's still in early build-out phase
