The Know

The Know is Rooster Teeth's official multimedia entertainment news channel division on YouTube. The Know was created to provide subscribers with up-to-date information regarding the entertainment and technology industries. Founded and created by Ashley Jenkins and Meg Turney on June 1, 2014, it is the news division of Rooster Teeth that discusses current events in movies, TV shows, gaming, and media. It is hosted by Ashley Jenkins, formerly co-hosted by Meg Turney and a large selection of other Rooster Teeth staff from each division within the company, with regular appearances from co-anchors Mica Burton, Jon Risinger, Ryan Haywood, Gus Sorola and the Funhaus Team (primarily Adam Kovic and Bruce Greene).
It was initially a single news show hosted on Rooster Teeth's main YouTube channel before moving over to its own channel, where it's since expanded into several different categories of entertainment and tech news as well as several different shows,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wb_6KgH1lqE with the latest being Glitch Please, a successor to their earlier podcast The Patch, that was greenlit for a full series after six pilot episodes.http://roosterteeth.com/post/51301506http://roosterteeth.com/post/51303334 Previously The Know had hosted Leaderboard, where Meg Turney had discussed esports news, The Patch Game Club, where the hosts of The Patch would discuss a new video game they've played each week, and Screen Play, a film and TV podcast. In late June 2016, following two years of employment, Turney announced on her vlog she was leaving Rooster Teeth in order to focus more on modelling, cosplay, and Twitch livestreaming, but The Know still continues without her. In early 2017, Mica Burton joined the division after leaving Achievement Hunter, replacing Meg.
The Know originated from Rooster Teeth's RT News show on their main channel before switching to its current channel. It joined YouTube on March 5, 2014, debuted on June 1, 2014. Joey Aranda left Rooster Teeth on September 22, 2014 but The Know still continues without him. Funhaus joined The Know on February 10, 2015. Kdin Jenzen joined The Know on March 21, 2016.
