SAN FRANCISCO – July 28, 2022 – SmartNews Inc., a global leader in news discovery, announced today the launch of its new feature “What to Watch,” a hub in the Entertainment Channel that allows users to browse articles, trailers, and rankings to decide which movies and shows they should choose next.
