If the Netflix Jake Paul vs Tyson feed is successful tonight, I hope DTV Business’ partnership with Netflix will expand to the NFL Christmas games (and future games) and WWE Monday Night RAW come January

despite the reported Netflix streaming issues, bars with DirecTV who paid through Joe Hand did not experience the same issues with the satellite feed tonight

I was in a bar that did not pay for it during the time of the fight. Multiple people were streaming it on their phones, some via the bar's wifi and some via cellular.

What was hilarious is that every phone was in a different place in the fight, I was standing behind one guy who had it on his phone at the bar and the two bartenders had it on one of their phones behind the bar. They were out of sync by over a round at various points - the guy I was standing behind kept messing with it trying to catch up which sometimes worked so he was both behind and ahead by a parts of to an entire round at various points. The bartenders just left theirs alone.

After the fight was "over" I was walking to the restroom and there were a couple guys I know who were still watching the last round. What an epic screwup!

People I know at home were running into the stalling and buffering on their smart TVs so they were trying playstations, xboxes, PCs and phones and had more than one going. Netflix might claim 60 million streams but a lot of them were the same person trying multiple devices lol

i noticed this is as well. this is because netflix UX wasn't automatically loading hte fight at the "live" feed. instead, it would choose an arbitary time (i think the time when you first clicked into the fight) and would start from there. Once you loaded, you had to drag the slider to live to get it to "realtime."

Terrible UX and terrible interface. it was hard to know it wasn't live unless you noticed that the "live" text was in red, which meant the feed was caught up.

Nothing much this week besides the already mentioned Sounds of the Seasons, some minor reshuffling on the 101 slot, correcting the NOTES label for KOPX OKC, and passing along Gracenote's OTA update for WVUEDT3 New Orleans (Gray's Gulf Coast Sports and Entertainment Network)

The Excel file attached looks to be for the previous analysis, 2024/11/13.
