Could Netflix’s involvement in F1 change how it is broadcast?

News that Netflix could be entering the race to bid for Formula 1 rights in the US is not unexpected, however, it could have massive repercussions on how the series is broadcast in the UK and elsewhere. The current platform sees F1’s rights holder, Liberty Media, sell TV contracts across the globe. It was a business model established by Bernie Ecclestone during the 1980s where a broadcaster would bid to win the rights to show F1 in their territory. This not only allowed Ecclestone to sell the rights over and over in each country, but it would sometimes create a bidding war internally between broadcasters and it proved to be a lucrative revenue stream. The TV companies in return would receive the live feed of the action but they would be responsible for the programming. It is this format wh...

PSN Ongoing Outage Sparks Concerns Over Weeks-Long 2011 Downtime

PSN’s ongoing outage has triggered unfortunate memories of the infamous 2011 PSN hack which took the service down for weeks. It’s pretty rare to find someone who doesn’t have a console connected to the internet these days. In addition to being able to play online games and socialize with friends, it’s also a primary way for people to watch things like Netflix, YouTube, and Twitch. With that said, it has almost become even more important for a console to have consistent online functionality given so many people rely on it for all kinds of services.

This heartfelt Netflix comedy about the immigrant experience couldn’t be more timely

I need to confess something. Until recently, I’ve been on the fence about whether to keep paying for my Netflix subscription. I can’t point to any specific reason why, other than feeling like it’s been a while since anything good from the streaming giant has really excited or grabbed me, and I hate to keep paying for something just for the sake of it. But then — right on time! — I sat down and watched Mo, a heartfelt, two-season Netflix comedy series about the immigrant experience that not only offers a masterclass in storytelling. The show is so good, it basically slapped me upside the head for almost giving up on its streaming home. Created by and starring stand-up comedian Mohammed Amer, Netflix’s Mo is one of those rare shows that sneaks up on you, grabs your heart, and refuses to let...

Amazon hiked Music Unlimited prices. Here’s why Apple and YouTube are next

Skip to content Image: Ben Patterson/Foundry For video streamers, another price hike just means it’s Tuesday. For music streaming, however, price increases are bigger deals, and they tend to reverberate for everyone.  Take Amazon, which just hiked the price of its individual Music Unlimited plan to $11.99 a month, or $10.99/month for Prime members. The new price is effective immediately for new subscribers, while existing users will see the price hike on their next bill, TechCrunch reports.  That price increase brings Amazon’s music streaming prices up to par with Spotify’s, which raised its individual Premium plan to $11.99 a month last June.

Indeed, Boyes has been talking to Gamertag Radio host Danny Peña recently - and when asked about Microsoft's new strategy, the former Sony employee had some interesting things to say. Boyes spoke about "the game landscape changing" - and that "they [Microsoft] were Blockbuster" and over time "they became Netflix". That analogy speaks to Xbox's shift to a more content & s...
