Streaming is a huge focus of ours and I think of every major league.
Look what happened when the NFL struck a deal last year with Netflix.
They put two Christmas games on Netflix and it was over 50 million people.
Holy.
50 million.
The NFL can't get that type of ratings in the regular season.
Not even close.
Not even close.
And so you saw Paramount do the $7.7 billion deal with UFC and they're moving away from pay-per-view and they'll tell you that that model is archaic and going away.
So we think it's great, man, because the social channels are a great way to reach your audience through TikTok and Snapchat and Instagram.
And now you have the streamers that have really come of age, like Netflix and Amazon Prime and Roku and some other ones.
And then Linear is still trying to figure out what's their future going to be.
It's not looking good for them.
It's not looking good for them at all.
Well, ESPN just announced their bundle package where you can get all of ESPN's sort of horsepower under one app.
Wow.
And that's their big streaming play.
And Fox is coming out with something similar.
So I think they all know now that, you know, linear is changing.
And it's not that the audience is going away.
