Linus Sebastian said Friday that the WAN Show will gradually move to a dedicated @WANShow YouTube channel [1].

This shift marks a significant change in how the tech media company distributes its long-form content. By separating the show from the primary Linus Tech Tips channel, the company can better target audiences interested specifically in the weekly news format without cluttering the main channel's feed.

Sebastian said the news during the May 29, 2026 [1] episode of the program. He said that the transition will not happen instantly but will instead be a slow process as the show migrates to the new destination.

"The WAN Show will be slowly moving to the https://www.youtube.com/@WANShow channel," Sebastian said [1].

While the announcement did not detail the specific timeline for the full migration, the move suggests a strategic pivot toward channel specialization. The @WANShow channel will serve as the primary hub for the program's archives and future broadcasts, allowing the main channel to focus on different content types.

Viewers can now find the new channel on YouTube to follow the transition as it unfolds. Sebastian said no specific reason for the move during the announcement, focusing instead on the logistical change of the show's digital home [1].

This migration reflects a broader trend among large-scale YouTube creators to split content into niche channels. By moving the WAN Show to its own space, Linus Tech Tips can optimize the YouTube algorithm for different viewer intents—separating those seeking short-form tech reviews from those seeking long-form news discussion—potentially increasing overall viewership and ad revenue.
