In a public high school.
In the early 1970s.

Will Consumers Actually Watch TV on Snapchat?
After setting an all-time low yesterday, shares of Snap (NYSE: SNAP) bounced back a little today on news that it is partnering with Comcast‘s (NASDAQ: CMCSA) NBC News to broadcast a daily news show called Stay Tuned, which will air twice a day.
