Facebook is rolling out live audio broadcasts

Almost a year after adding Live Video to its app, Facebook has announced that it is introducing a Live Audio feature that allows live broadcasts of audio-only content. “We know that sometimes publishers want to tell a story on Facebook with words and not video,” reads Facebook’s blog post explaining the news. For now, Facebook is testing this feature with a few select partners, including BBC and Harper Collins. Facebook says it will make live audio more widely available “early next year.”
