#21-Cenk Uygur
As the entertainment and viewership landscapes increasingly move away from typical television towards enhanced digital platforms,Cenk Uygur and The Young Turks are proof that in some cases, you can have far more influence online than on the television set. In addition to an impressive 2 million+ subscribers on its YouTube channel, The Young Turks offer a wide variety of live streaming services. In fact, TYT has apparently surpassed both CNN and MSNBCin desktop unique viewers. Uygur, whose short-lived MSNBC show never really took off, has shown that doing digital well can lead to far more influence than a little watched cable news show. TYT is a decade old now and Uygur figures to play a key role during the 2016 election cycle.
