The Wall Street Journal has been planning a big push into streaming TV, and courted Feed Me's Emily Sundberg for a show

The paper explored shows around its top editor, Emma Tucker, as well as external creators and media companies.

The Wall Street Journal has been intensifying its strategic push into streaming TV, aiming to develop a diverse range of shows. The ambitious lineup includes a flagship live morning program, an interview series anchored by the Journal's editor-in-chief Emma Tucker, and a potential collaboration with Emily Sundberg, the creator of Feed Me.

However, Sundberg has since withdrawn from the negotiations. Other potential shows include one with The Infatuation, which covers the business side of food, and another titled Inside Sports, aimed at the sports industry. The Journal is also partnering with external creators and media companies, such as Emmy-winning journalist Armen Keteyian, to bring fresh talent to its video content.

The plans are still in flux, with internal documents revealing the Journal's active discussions with multiple external partners.
