Why was Netflix's live sports broadcast glitchy?
Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Toby Howell. And I'm Kyle Heggie. Today, Netflix's foray into live sports broadcasting went about as shaky as Mike Tyson's jab.
And the reason you haven't been getting as many robocalls.
It's Monday, November 18th. Let's ride. Happy Monday, everyone. Hope you are having a great start to your week. I'll tell you someone who isn't having a great Monday though. Spirit Airlines. The budget airline officially filed for bankruptcy this morning after years of losses, a failed merger with JetBlue and shifting consumer preferences.
Yeah, Spirit has not been having a good time lately. Not only was it dealing with like failing demand, a failed merger, but it also had an engine recall, which had to ground a bunch of its planes earlier this year. And I think the final nail in the coffin was just post-pandemic travel inflation. It couldn't find a way to get back to where it used to be. I'm actually quite sad about this because Spirit, like it needs to exist just spiritually for America. Yeah.
Yeah, the last few years have just been a rough time for them. Spirit hasn't had a profit since 2019. It lost more than $335 million in the first half of this year. So the writing was on the wall. That said, if you are eyeing cheap flights home for Thanksgiving, Spirit says it does expect to continue operating normally and letting customers book flights. I'm getting on my last spirit i know spirit is down but it is not quite out yet kyle now a word from our sponsor yahoo finance kyle the purple prince has once again made its return to mbd and what a pleasure it is to have them back i was actually using yahoo finance to prepare for the show today oh do tell
Well, it's really the only place on the internet that you can go for both real-time market data and trusted news. So if you want a holistic picture of how a treasury appointment is affecting the market or how investors are reacting to an earnings call, Yahoo Finance is the only place to go.
I like to think of it as the secret weapon of the informed investor, a shining purple light in a sea of darkness, and really one of our go-to sources for bringing you all this show every morning. It is our Purple Prince.
And to check out the Purple Prince yourself, head to yahoofinance.com. That's yahoofinance.com.
Well, Kyle, turns out putting a 58-year-old in a boxing ring with someone less than half his age doesn't lead to very compelling television. The much-hyped Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight put on by Netflix was mostly a snoozefest that gave fans very little to cheer about. But the streamer's foray into the fight game did bring in huge viewership numbers. Netflix announced that 60 million households tuned in to watch Paul and Tyson slug it out for the main event, while 50 million watched the co-main event between Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor, which actually made it the most viewed women's sporting event in U.S. history. But while the gaudy numbers were nice, there were some annoying technical blunders along the way, and I'm not just talking about Iron Mike's clumsy footwork.
Yeah, hashtag Netflix crash, which if you're Netflix, you don't want that trending. It did start trending on X on Friday, and Down Detector received more than 500,000 reports that Netflix was having issues. Obviously, a ton of people wanted to watch this, and they were having some issues. Jake Paul, the marketing, legitimately the marketing master he is somehow.
