Sarah Palin has come to an agreement to launch a channel on digital video startup TAPP.
Programming will reportedly be a mix of politics and current events as well as parts of the TLC reality show "Sarah Palin's Alaska," according to a report from Capital New York.

Former NBC Universal Television Entertainment chairman Jeff Gaspin and former CNN president Jon Klein founded TAPP, short for "TV app," The service will feature various channels specifically developed for Internet-connected TVs and smartphones, centered around niches such as politics or sports.
TAPP has not yet launched and will cost $10 per month.
Palin's channel is reportedly named "Rogue TV," which follows on her popular book Going Rogue: An American Life.
Gaspin has publicly stated that TAPP's strategy is to give celebrities channels in an attempt to leverage their popularity. Palin is the most high profile talent to join the service thus far.
Palin's television commitments are piling up. The former governor and Alaska and one-time candidate for vice president of the U.S. is currently a contributor to Fox News after having briefly split from the channel. She recently told The Wrap that she had negotiated with Fox News to allow for another of her television commitments - a new show on the Sportsman Channel.
Various services have launched in an attempt to generate subscription revenue from media personalities with some success, including Glenn Beck with The Blaze and Andrew Sullivan with The Daily Dish.
However the $10 per month price point puts the channel above other popular services such as Netflix ($7.99 per month), Hulu (also $7.99) and Amazon Prime ($8.25 after the upcoming price increase).
TAPP, Fox News and the Sportsman Channel did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
