Ratings are in for Kaneing Live discussion show

 Russell Kane’s Facebook Live programme The Kaneing Live has attracted 750,000 views so far.

The topical show broadcast live on Monday night – before the tragic events in Manchester – and featured   Katherine Ryan, Janet Street-Porter, LBC Radio’s James O’Brien AJ Odudu.

At the end of the 40-minute show, more than 100,000 viewers had tuned in – and the figure now stands at 777,000.

During the broadcast, the panel discussed three topical stories: The Dementia Tax, legalising cannabis and British binge drinking culture

Facebook counts a view when a video has played for just three seconds, which has proved a controversially low threshold among advertisers, especially as videos automatically play without audio on users’ news feeds. 

The one-off Kaneing Live was a spin-off from the weekly video rants the comic already posts to social media, and was streamed from Facebook's London offices.
