00:00:11.813 --> 00:00:16.773
Welcome to TV Plus Talk. This is where we talk about all things Apple TV Plus.

00:00:17.333 --> 00:00:21.673
I'm Chuck Joyner. She is Charlotte Henry. Charlotte, great to see you.

00:00:21.713 --> 00:00:24.133
I am. Hello. I'm so pleased to see you.

00:00:24.773 --> 00:00:28.113
Well, shortly we're going to have to discuss if we're renaming our show or not.

00:00:28.353 --> 00:00:30.633
We're going to have to have this discussion live on air.

00:00:31.733 --> 00:00:34.853
Yeah, I was joking about that with someone the other day and thought,

00:00:35.033 --> 00:00:37.113
you know, well, it's a discussion we have to have.

00:00:37.913 --> 00:00:42.573
We'll have it shortly. Yeah, but before that, I'm just glad that you and I are

00:00:42.573 --> 00:00:48.153
able to connect because a little bit earlier, before this recording,

00:00:48.433 --> 00:00:53.533
there was a major Amazon Web Services outage that really took down an awful

00:00:53.533 --> 00:00:56.873
lot of services, including a lot of the streaming TV services.

00:00:58.113 --> 00:01:02.353
Yeah that's absolutely right it was it's

00:01:02.353 --> 00:01:05.173
amazing how one issue in one data

00:01:05.173 --> 00:01:08.453
center on the eastern seaboard can cause such

00:01:08.453 --> 00:01:11.193
classicismic effects i mean here in the

00:01:11.193 --> 00:01:16.833
uk i believe there were issues with banks uh did it hit apple tv i think it

00:01:16.833 --> 00:01:22.213
did at one point it definitely hit some of the other streaming services i logged

00:01:22.213 --> 00:01:26.033
into riverside which i now use to make podcasts and there was a warning there

00:01:26.033 --> 00:01:30.173
that there were some issues i mean there was not very much that wasn't here,

00:01:30.873 --> 00:01:34.013
yeah i had the same thing um i was asking

00:01:34.013 --> 00:01:37.013
uh the the amazon smart speaker whose name

00:01:37.013 --> 00:01:41.913
i shall not use um and kept getting the message i'm having trouble try again

00:01:41.913 --> 00:01:46.653
in a few minutes and after a few you know after about 20 minutes i gave up and

00:01:46.653 --> 00:01:51.873
then realized what was what was going on but i know i've there were some credit

00:01:51.873 --> 00:01:55.613
card processing issues at places i visited that particular over a day.

00:01:56.033 --> 00:01:57.953
So it hit a lot of different things.

00:02:00.793 --> 00:02:04.733
Look, you and I could do a whole separate show on this kind of nerdy stuff.

00:02:04.893 --> 00:02:07.873
But first of all, it's really interesting that it hit streaming services,

00:02:07.873 --> 00:02:10.453
because I think sometimes we forget,

00:02:11.589 --> 00:02:14.789
really that these are tech products not media products and

00:02:14.789 --> 00:02:19.149
something like that really reinforces it and secondly

00:02:19.149 --> 00:02:23.649
a step back and it's not really for this show but i want to chat about it with

00:02:23.649 --> 00:02:31.889
you anyway um is this idea of how dependent we are on such a limited number

00:02:31.889 --> 00:02:35.149
of services for data and connectivity.

00:02:35.629 --> 00:02:38.489
It's a huge, huge, huge issue.

00:02:39.689 --> 00:02:46.469
It is, and it shouldn't be a big surprise to anyone because the larger companies

00:02:46.469 --> 00:02:51.349
have squeezed out a lot of the smaller companies and because of efficiencies

00:02:51.349 --> 00:02:56.069
of scale and all the reasons that companies get big, no question.

00:02:56.489 --> 00:03:01.489
But at the same time, when everything is passing through those particular doorways

00:03:01.489 --> 00:03:05.789
and then there's a problem in those doorways, it's going to hit a lot of different

00:03:05.789 --> 00:03:07.209
people in a lot of different ways.

00:03:08.589 --> 00:03:15.049
Right. I mean, totally. I'm just trying to find out how much AWS of itself is worth.

00:03:15.349 --> 00:03:19.549
I mean, because there is a thing, isn't it? If you just spun off AWS from Amazon

00:03:19.549 --> 00:03:23.349
itself, it would still be one of the biggest companies in the world.

00:03:25.045 --> 00:03:28.945
This is how big – you and I know this because we're nerds and we follow this

00:03:28.945 --> 00:03:36.385
stuff, but I think yesterday it really hit people how much – how big this company is.

00:03:37.385 --> 00:03:42.405
And we had a discussion on my live show about the redundancy issues.

00:03:43.125 --> 00:03:49.305
And to what degree should a company spend money on redundancy?

00:03:49.505 --> 00:03:56.265
Or is it more cost effective for them to pay for an extra service or something else?

00:03:56.665 --> 00:04:01.285
Or is it better just to say every so often we're going to have an interruption?

00:04:02.245 --> 00:04:06.325
And, you know, but one of the problems with redundancies is that a lot of times

00:04:06.325 --> 00:04:10.305
the company that you hire to be redundant is also going to be using the very

00:04:10.305 --> 00:04:13.465
same service that took out your first line of service.

00:04:13.745 --> 00:04:18.885
Right. So, you know, at some point, you know, who do you go and do you start

00:04:18.885 --> 00:04:24.125
having to query, oh, are you using Amazon Web Services or are you using Company A?

00:04:24.385 --> 00:04:28.325
And then, well, I got to go find somebody that's using something other than

00:04:28.325 --> 00:04:32.305
Company A. and it may not be as easy as we're all making it out to be.

00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:37.100
Right. And per my former employer, the Mac Observer,

00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:46.980
it does look like Apple does use AWS for TV Plus and a number of its other services,

00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:48.920
which is kind of interesting.

00:04:49.060 --> 00:04:51.620
And I put this actually in my book, Streaming Wars, that, you know,

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.900
the streamers are having to work with other companies and rivals,

00:04:56.140 --> 00:04:59.820
especially Amazon, because it's so all powerful in other spaces.

00:04:59.820 --> 00:05:08.200
Just by the way, before we move on, AWS was worth apparently about $17.5 million,

00:05:08.200 --> 00:05:13.640
I think, in 2017. By 2020, that was about $6 billion or something.

00:05:14.260 --> 00:05:20.060
Like, we're talking, right, it's like we're talking one of the biggest businesses in the world.

00:05:21.760 --> 00:05:26.420
Sorry, $46 billion. It was 17, I'm getting my M's and my B's mixed up.

00:05:26.420 --> 00:05:33.460
It was 17.46 billion US dollars in 2017. That was its annual revenue in 2017.

00:05:33.500 --> 00:05:36.920
By 2020, that was 46 billion dollars.

00:05:38.155 --> 00:05:42.275
Wow. That's a lot of dollars, Chuck. That is a lot of dollars,

00:05:42.295 --> 00:05:50.215
but it also represents, obviously, a ridiculous growth, but an also ridiculous number of clients.

00:05:50.535 --> 00:05:54.035
And it's so, you know, it's the old thing.

00:05:54.855 --> 00:05:58.235
Yeah. You know, if AWS sneezes, everybody catches cold.

00:05:59.755 --> 00:06:03.255
Absolutely, including Apple TV+. Yeah.

00:06:04.675 --> 00:06:13.375
Right. Shall we? I guess we need to talk about F1, but I guess we need to get

00:06:13.375 --> 00:06:18.555
into the name change first so that we know what we're talking about while we go through this show.

00:06:18.995 --> 00:06:24.635
Yeah. You know, when I did the intro, it's like, do I call it Apple TV Plus or do I call it Apple TV?

00:06:25.015 --> 00:06:29.535
Well, for the sake of this transition period, I started with Apple TV Plus,

00:06:29.695 --> 00:06:37.675
but now it's Apple tv does it make a difference charlotte so apple tv plus has

00:06:37.675 --> 00:06:47.935
become apple tv and this means you can watch apple tv on your apple tv through the apple tv app.

00:06:50.209 --> 00:06:52.809
Yes? Yes.

00:06:55.269 --> 00:06:59.889
That's a bit confusing for consumers, no? You know, I've changed my opinion.

00:06:59.909 --> 00:07:02.269
Watching Apple TV through Apple TV on Apple TV?

00:07:03.029 --> 00:07:08.369
I changed my opinion since this started because I took a step back and said,

00:07:09.089 --> 00:07:12.749
if I'm watching... I'm just having a cup of tea and I'm going to let you go.

00:07:12.969 --> 00:07:16.449
I'm going to ponder this because I know my views on this.

00:07:19.189 --> 00:07:25.529
Well, if I'm watching a program, and the show I thought about was for no real

00:07:25.529 --> 00:07:28.769
good reason, The Boys, which is an Amazon property.

00:07:29.029 --> 00:07:31.569
Sorry. Yeah, I said that right. An Amazon property.

00:07:31.989 --> 00:07:40.229
I don't say that I'm watching The Boys on Fire TV or Amazon Prime.

00:07:40.449 --> 00:07:44.169
The most I might say is that I'm watching The Boys on Amazon,

00:07:44.289 --> 00:07:47.889
and it's on Amazon. But I never talk about what app I'm using,

00:07:48.049 --> 00:07:49.409
what the piece of hardware I'm using.

00:07:49.569 --> 00:07:54.529
Am I watching it through a Fire Stick? Am I watching it through a Chromecast?

00:07:54.629 --> 00:07:57.449
Am I watching it through Apple TV, the box?

00:07:57.849 --> 00:07:59.729
It's just I'm watching this program,

00:07:59.729 --> 00:08:03.849
and I might mention that it's on this streaming service or network.

00:08:04.389 --> 00:08:09.469
And so are we really getting excited? Are we just being nerds like you referred

00:08:09.469 --> 00:08:12.869
to earlier about this and splitting hairs?

00:08:13.929 --> 00:08:16.649
And eddie q came out and said that you know well

00:08:16.649 --> 00:08:19.769
everybody calls it just apple or apple tv anyway so you

00:08:19.769 --> 00:08:22.949
know why not drop the plus okay that that's

00:08:22.949 --> 00:08:26.329
fair so i don't feel like it's not

00:08:26.329 --> 00:08:29.509
as big a deal as i thought it was but you may

00:08:29.509 --> 00:08:37.309
differ on that i think you make some very fair points actually you know it's

00:08:37.309 --> 00:08:43.149
only really apple where we say well we make this joke right but i think part

00:08:43.149 --> 00:08:47.529
of that is because the example you used on Amazon everything is called something different.

00:08:49.084 --> 00:08:54.044
The service is called Prime Video. The stick is called the fire.

00:08:55.104 --> 00:09:00.704
They're different things. I think there's something very bizarre and very un-Apple,

00:09:01.864 --> 00:09:07.204
about even the potential for this confusion, even the potential for nerds to

00:09:07.204 --> 00:09:10.484
make jokes about it. Let's be serious.

00:09:11.404 --> 00:09:14.404
I know we always do this. What would Steve do?

00:09:14.404 --> 00:09:18.604
But seriously would steve

00:09:18.604 --> 00:09:21.804
jobs have three linked products called basically

00:09:21.804 --> 00:09:28.484
the same thing come on uh probably not but you know that was then this is now

00:09:28.484 --> 00:09:35.984
and so but it's dumb well but look let's let's let's be fair and this is not

00:09:35.984 --> 00:09:39.004
necessarily these are not necessarily No, we're not here to be fair.

00:09:39.444 --> 00:09:41.844
But it felt good. Thank you.

00:09:42.384 --> 00:09:47.024
But this is the same company that named their Pageway Out program Pages and

00:09:47.024 --> 00:09:50.344
their Excel spreadsheet competitor Numbers.

00:09:52.004 --> 00:09:56.504
They have a tendency to try to – you can look at it two ways.

00:09:56.584 --> 00:10:00.664
You can look at it as that's really confusing, but you can also look at it as

00:10:00.664 --> 00:10:05.984
a common sense, top-of-mind kind of thing so that I don't have to remember the

00:10:05.984 --> 00:10:08.784
name of the product. I just sort of remember what it is I'm trying to do.

00:10:09.304 --> 00:10:14.204
And I'm not defending it. I guess I've come to understand it a little bit more.

00:10:14.444 --> 00:10:19.884
It still creates confusing if you try to get – if you do a Google search and

00:10:19.884 --> 00:10:25.704
try to get help about the numbers program online.

00:10:26.284 --> 00:10:34.024
But at the same time, it doesn't not work. I think it's a much bigger problem for this. Is it?

00:10:35.484 --> 00:10:39.384
Is it? Well, try searching for Apple TV help now.

00:10:41.837 --> 00:10:45.457
What on earth is going to come up? Okay, that's fair.

00:10:45.997 --> 00:10:50.997
That's fair. But we are talking about a streaming service.

00:10:51.217 --> 00:10:59.197
So, you know, the Apple TV app, the Apple TV box, the Apple TV service.

00:11:02.337 --> 00:11:05.937
Right. I just think for your ordinary viewer,

00:11:06.377 --> 00:11:12.757
it's a bit – well, in some ways it's not, because I suspect the Apple TV viewer

00:11:12.757 --> 00:11:18.517
is only going to worry, like most people don't have an Apple TV box, right?

00:11:19.177 --> 00:11:25.897
And you can argue, and it's a bit naughty of Apple, that having the app called

00:11:25.897 --> 00:11:30.717
TV, which is the way that most people use the service, now called Apple TV,

00:11:31.397 --> 00:11:33.857
that kind of makes sense, right?

00:11:34.437 --> 00:11:37.597
And people will be like, oh, it's called TV.

00:11:37.597 --> 00:11:46.277
That's where I watch the TV service in that way it kind of makes sense but and it will annoy,

00:11:46.877 --> 00:11:53.057
lots of the other rivals because Apple always has this thing that like the TV

00:11:53.057 --> 00:11:57.637
like that it wasn't giving undue prominence to its own shows within the app

00:11:57.637 --> 00:12:00.117
except it's now called them all the same thing.

00:12:03.515 --> 00:12:07.475
And we all have a bad habit of just taking a snapshot in time,

00:12:07.635 --> 00:12:10.535
saying right now, and this is the way it is, and boy, isn't this confusing.

00:12:11.115 --> 00:12:17.735
And what if Apple releases an update to the Apple TV box next week and calls

00:12:17.735 --> 00:12:22.535
it the, I don't know, the Apple Excelsior or something?

00:12:22.735 --> 00:12:25.135
And, okay, so they rename the box.

00:12:25.515 --> 00:12:28.175
So then we are back to a little more differentiation.

00:12:28.675 --> 00:12:30.895
Maybe they'll call it Apple Watch. Oh, wait.

00:12:33.575 --> 00:12:38.255
That was very good. I hadn't thought about that. You know, so again,

00:12:38.435 --> 00:12:42.055
I'm not sure, I'm not even sure what we're discussing because look,

00:12:42.155 --> 00:12:44.855
it's the way it is and it's their service to name.

00:12:45.855 --> 00:12:52.155
But it also definitely is one more time that the word Apple is going to come out of your mouth.

00:12:54.175 --> 00:12:59.695
Oh, yeah, for sure. And I just think it's a very bizarre decision.

00:12:59.695 --> 00:13:05.175
Like, since this service started, I always slightly had a running joke about the naming situation.

00:13:05.275 --> 00:13:08.895
And now they've just kind of taken it to the next level.

00:13:11.275 --> 00:13:16.335
So we... You know what, fair play. Yeah, well, and so let's have the more important

00:13:16.335 --> 00:13:18.835
discussion. Do we change the name of the show?

00:13:21.095 --> 00:13:26.615
Right. Okay, well, so case for the defense, i.e.

00:13:26.675 --> 00:13:31.395
Not changing it, we are adding to the discussion about Apple TV.

00:13:31.635 --> 00:13:35.915
So we are Apple TV plus this lovely discussion.

00:13:38.955 --> 00:13:44.415
We are Apple TV plus some talk, right? But ultimately we are talking about the

00:13:44.415 --> 00:13:47.595
service Apple TV, right?

00:13:48.688 --> 00:13:51.968
So maybe we now have to be just Apple TV talk.

00:13:52.728 --> 00:13:58.848
And we know how Apple does not like people to use the word Apple in their projects.

00:13:59.568 --> 00:14:03.368
So I would hate to get a cease and desist order. And we'll get very cross-letters if we're wrong.

00:14:03.588 --> 00:14:07.148
Yeah. So I'm kind of, I'm with you. I'm kind of inclined to just say,

00:14:07.328 --> 00:14:09.868
you know, this is TV plus talk.

00:14:11.808 --> 00:14:19.048
And recognizing it's in. TV talk. TV talk. But, you know, then that sounds like

00:14:19.048 --> 00:14:24.488
we could be talking about, like, you know, the daily morning show or something. That doesn't.

00:14:25.408 --> 00:14:31.008
Yes, you're right. Yeah. So we have our name. We're really taking this behind

00:14:31.008 --> 00:14:32.628
the scenes here. Well, yeah.

00:14:33.948 --> 00:14:36.928
I would think we'll probably stick with our name. But if not,

00:14:37.028 --> 00:14:40.368
folks, we'll let you know and let you know what our thinking is. Yeah.

00:14:41.648 --> 00:14:46.688
No, it's such a good point you make, though. So because we definitely don't

00:14:46.688 --> 00:14:51.988
want any cease and desist letters, but we are talking about Apple TV. Right.

00:14:53.368 --> 00:14:57.888
The programs. I suppose also we do discuss the hardware and software, to be fair.

00:14:57.988 --> 00:15:02.468
Well, yeah, and the service from a business perspective. So, yeah. Right.

00:15:03.208 --> 00:15:07.108
Okay, but now look. But see, you're contributing to the problem here because

00:15:07.108 --> 00:15:10.828
before we started this discussion, you said that we're going to talk about F1.

00:15:12.448 --> 00:15:16.908
But we have multiple f1 stories to talk about so which story were you talking about.

00:15:18.628 --> 00:15:21.308
First of all you're always right to say

00:15:21.308 --> 00:15:28.588
that i'm contributing to the problem whatever the problem is fact well let's

00:15:28.588 --> 00:15:35.808
start with the fact that apple has won the rights in the u.s on its TV service

00:15:35.808 --> 00:15:40.628
to be the exclusive outlet for Formula 1 racing.

00:15:40.628 --> 00:15:43.668
I think it's five seasons from 2026.

00:15:45.304 --> 00:15:48.644
This is quite a big deal. I wrote about it on my newsletter yesterday because

00:15:48.644 --> 00:15:51.564
it's a big deal for a few different reasons.

00:15:53.004 --> 00:15:57.024
And if you don't mind me nerding out about sports media for a minute, I'll dig into them.

00:15:57.804 --> 00:16:03.504
Part of the reason it's significant for our show and our audience is because

00:16:03.504 --> 00:16:10.444
this is the first time I think that anything on Apple TV,

00:16:11.604 --> 00:16:17.004
is particularly different depending on where you are in the world.

00:16:18.104 --> 00:16:23.324
Basically, I'm in the UK, you're in the US. What we have on TV,

00:16:23.324 --> 00:16:29.024
the service and the app is, well, not the app actually, the TV service is exactly the same.

00:16:29.364 --> 00:16:33.364
My TV, Apple TV streaming service looks exactly like yours, right?

00:16:33.564 --> 00:16:36.944
We both get the morning show at the same time. We both get Ted Lasso at the

00:16:36.944 --> 00:16:38.864
same time, blah, blah, blah, right?

00:16:40.804 --> 00:16:47.384
Now, if I, on a Formula One Grand Prix weekend, our services will look different.

00:16:47.784 --> 00:16:51.064
You will be able to watch it and I won't. And that, I think,

00:16:51.144 --> 00:16:56.624
is quite a big step forward from where Apple TV launched, right?

00:16:57.764 --> 00:17:03.264
Because it was meant to be this uniform service and it was focused on originals

00:17:03.264 --> 00:17:05.464
and therefore everything was the same.

00:17:06.648 --> 00:17:12.188
And that is no longer going to be the case. So I think that is significant first.

00:17:12.608 --> 00:17:15.948
Second of all, it's significant because it's Apple putting, I mean,

00:17:16.048 --> 00:17:21.568
it's not quite pocket change for Apple, but as far as Apple goes,

00:17:21.648 --> 00:17:26.968
it's not huge money for some sports rights, which is interesting.

00:17:27.228 --> 00:17:33.688
It's apparently worth about $700 or $750 million, we think, this deal kind of

00:17:33.688 --> 00:17:41.608
vibe. So, you know, it's not AWS revenue money, but it's meaningful money.

00:17:43.308 --> 00:17:47.068
And third, it's interesting because of the obvious time, which I think you want

00:17:47.068 --> 00:17:49.408
to talk about with F1 the movie.

00:17:50.748 --> 00:17:56.088
And it's kind of linked all of that catalogue together, which I think is also interesting.

00:17:58.195 --> 00:18:03.315
I think this is very interesting because of, and let's throw into the mix,

00:18:03.575 --> 00:18:06.075
the MLS deal that Apple already has.

00:18:07.195 --> 00:18:12.935
Right. So, you know, it feels like Apple took a, sorry for the pun I'm about

00:18:12.935 --> 00:18:15.195
to do, but Apple took a swing at baseball.

00:18:15.575 --> 00:18:21.155
And now it's, whether they stepped away or baseball stepped away or they both stepped away.

00:18:22.095 --> 00:18:25.975
But the MLS thing seems to be working. Now they've got F1.

00:18:27.635 --> 00:18:31.395
And we've talked so much about Apple playing the long game so it feels like

00:18:31.395 --> 00:18:33.255
they're trying to build their credibility,

00:18:34.015 --> 00:18:40.635
it also, in hindsight, it felt like that Apple was stepping into sports streaming

00:18:40.635 --> 00:18:44.415
at a time that it was still a little bit, not exactly experimental,

00:18:44.635 --> 00:18:49.635
but a little bit experimental and so now they're cutting their teeth and developing

00:18:49.635 --> 00:18:54.935
reputation on some sports that may not be quite as prevalent here in the U.S.

00:18:56.755 --> 00:18:59.895
Frankly, both of them seem to be a lot more prevalent in the UK.

00:19:01.075 --> 00:19:04.515
So that brings a global perspective into this.

00:19:05.335 --> 00:19:07.735
I think it's going to be really interesting to see how it goes.

00:19:07.855 --> 00:19:11.015
I think it's going to be very interesting to see exactly what,

00:19:11.135 --> 00:19:17.775
if anything, Apple brings to the F1 experience for the US viewer.

00:19:21.475 --> 00:19:24.595
Yeah, correct me if I'm wrong. Have I missed an announcement that the Apple

00:19:24.595 --> 00:19:26.015
baseball deal is coming to an end?

00:19:27.948 --> 00:19:34.048
I didn't think I had. Maybe I missed it, but I thought there was something that they were backing off.

00:19:35.848 --> 00:19:37.388
Maybe I have missed it. Oh, maybe.

00:19:40.308 --> 00:19:44.328
I think the point, though, which you're getting at, which is right,

00:19:45.228 --> 00:19:49.808
which is that it hasn't been – I mean, it's done okay Friday Night Baseball.

00:19:49.988 --> 00:19:56.668
It hasn't been a rip-roaring success, has it? you know people like as i it's

00:19:56.668 --> 00:19:59.628
very different in the us but people like their local announcers and all that

00:19:59.628 --> 00:20:03.788
kind of thing with baseball um in terms of the mls.

00:20:06.728 --> 00:20:13.368
Hmm it's it is what it is right like it's a global deal which goes to my earlier point,

00:20:14.628 --> 00:20:18.668
about apple really wanting to be the exclusive home of stuff wherever it does

00:20:18.668 --> 00:20:23.288
it And so this again makes this deal for Formula One very different.

00:20:23.588 --> 00:20:27.908
The other thing you're totally correct about is that Formula One,

00:20:28.028 --> 00:20:33.888
and indeed obviously football, are much more popular where I am than where you are.

00:20:34.928 --> 00:20:39.068
Which brings me to my sort of other point about this, which is,

00:20:39.208 --> 00:20:41.228
is this a good deal for Formula One?

00:20:42.228 --> 00:20:50.248
They've got some good money, but the sport now in a country in which it's trying

00:20:50.248 --> 00:20:55.668
to grow has disappeared behind a paywall and a paywall that is not particularly,

00:20:55.668 --> 00:20:57.888
you know, by various standards.

00:20:58.128 --> 00:21:01.048
It's not that popular like Apple TV. It's okay.

00:21:01.448 --> 00:21:03.308
It does all right, but it's not Netflix.

00:21:04.848 --> 00:21:09.268
And so are they potentially losing audience by doing this deal with Apple?

00:21:11.636 --> 00:21:15.796
And I think, you know, that will be a very interesting thing to watch play out.

00:21:16.156 --> 00:21:22.916
And as far as I understand it, so with MLS, you have to pay an extra thing to get all the games.

00:21:23.336 --> 00:21:27.296
Some they put through a normal subscription. Some you can watch as,

00:21:27.576 --> 00:21:28.836
you know, you have to pay extra for.

00:21:29.076 --> 00:21:33.196
Some games I think in the League's Cup are actually on a TV channel as well in the US.

00:21:33.336 --> 00:21:43.296
But anyway, this is going to be part of your TV subscription as far as I understand it. and,

00:21:44.683 --> 00:21:49.263
you know, everything will be behind this paywall, which could work,

00:21:49.263 --> 00:21:50.683
but also because they'll get

00:21:50.683 --> 00:21:53.803
anyone in the US that cares about Formula 1 will have to have Apple TV.

00:21:55.583 --> 00:21:59.803
But it's much harder to get, I was going to say drive-by fans,

00:22:00.223 --> 00:22:04.763
but it's much harder to get new fans coming along.

00:22:06.683 --> 00:22:12.623
Okay, so I'm not the student of sports broadcasting that you are.

00:22:13.043 --> 00:22:19.083
My perception is that Formula One, like a number of other, I'm even going to

00:22:19.083 --> 00:22:20.743
say third, fourth tier sports,

00:22:21.803 --> 00:22:26.863
yes, they got some television coverage in the U.S., but it was always at the

00:22:26.863 --> 00:22:32.083
convenience of the broadcast networks or the sports streaming networks,

00:22:32.403 --> 00:22:33.943
the sports cable networks.

00:22:33.943 --> 00:22:38.403
It was seldom a major event. It was seldom comprehensive coverage.

00:22:39.123 --> 00:22:42.163
And that's what I'm interested to see here.

00:22:42.163 --> 00:22:49.183
How much of a priority will Apple TV Plus give to some of these events?

00:22:49.183 --> 00:22:57.103
So it feels like, to my way of thinking, that it's a better deal for F1 versus

00:22:57.103 --> 00:22:58.563
what they've been doing in the U.S.

00:22:58.643 --> 00:23:03.803
Because they were treated like second- or third-class citizens.

00:23:05.303 --> 00:23:10.623
Here, they're going to have a dedicated place on a streaming service for their sport.

00:23:11.123 --> 00:23:16.823
And so that, to me, is a bigger deal than just trying to, you know,

00:23:17.063 --> 00:23:23.323
scrape through and go to ESPN or ESPN2 or ESPN3, 4, 5, 6, 7,

00:23:23.423 --> 00:23:25.763
8, 9, 10 and say, what can you do for us?

00:23:26.023 --> 00:23:29.643
Yeah, ESPN+, ESPN Double+, you know, whatever.

00:23:30.063 --> 00:23:35.123
I mean, after a while, you just burn out on all of it. And so,

00:23:35.363 --> 00:23:37.903
you know, the fact that they will be a –,

00:23:38.886 --> 00:23:43.966
Perhaps not a centerpiece of Apple TV, but they will be a much bigger deal on

00:23:43.966 --> 00:23:46.866
Apple TV than they would have been to some of the others.

00:23:47.706 --> 00:23:52.466
And I'm sorry if that offends some people, but that's the way I see it.

00:23:52.506 --> 00:23:54.686
I actually think that's a great point that I hadn't considered,

00:23:54.686 --> 00:24:00.426
that surely it will be to Apple's incentive to make this a success, right?

00:24:00.646 --> 00:24:03.146
They want to be able to show that they can do this stuff.

00:24:04.566 --> 00:24:08.366
And I think it is true that they will put real resources into it.

00:24:08.366 --> 00:24:11.526
I'm sure that's right and F1

00:24:11.526 --> 00:24:14.486
will also make sure that real resources go into it because everyone wants

00:24:14.486 --> 00:24:17.986
it to be a success I think that's a really really good

00:24:17.986 --> 00:24:20.726
point that I you know to be honest I hadn't considered it and I think

00:24:20.726 --> 00:24:23.446
you're right about that and the other thing is

00:24:23.446 --> 00:24:26.286
I've been listening to lots of discussions over the last couple of days

00:24:26.286 --> 00:24:29.986
about the start

00:24:29.986 --> 00:24:33.266
of the NBA season and how in America basketball

00:24:33.266 --> 00:24:36.146
is all over the place now right it's on three four

00:24:36.146 --> 00:24:40.806
five different services isn't it um football

00:24:40.806 --> 00:24:43.446
yes basketball i'm not sure because i'm not a

00:24:43.446 --> 00:24:47.626
basketball person i believe so i think there's some on espn some on nbc some

00:24:47.626 --> 00:24:51.326
on amazon prime video now it's every it's all different places depending on

00:24:51.326 --> 00:24:56.306
someone peacock depending on what day of the week it is at least with this if

00:24:56.306 --> 00:25:01.346
you are a formula one fan and it's race day there's only one place you need

00:25:01.346 --> 00:25:02.646
to go It's not hard to find it.

00:25:04.006 --> 00:25:08.006
If you're a fan in the US, you know where to go. It's dumb.

00:25:08.606 --> 00:25:12.946
And that could be a good thing for the sport.

00:25:13.726 --> 00:25:18.826
The one thing I want to get your take on is this link up with the movie.

00:25:20.134 --> 00:25:23.774
What's your take on all that? We should say that it's coming to streaming.

00:25:24.234 --> 00:25:30.854
It'll be on not until 12th of December, 2025, but it's going to eventually land on Apple TV.

00:25:31.474 --> 00:25:36.934
And then, you know, and then the next year we'll get the Formula One actual races.

00:25:37.614 --> 00:25:39.614
What's your take on the catalog tie-in?

00:25:40.934 --> 00:25:46.294
I think it makes perfect sense. And it makes perfect sense from both sides that

00:25:46.294 --> 00:25:53.114
F1, the movie is giving F1 racing a bigger visibility in the U.S. than it's had.

00:25:53.954 --> 00:25:57.894
Not just because of the star power of the cast, but also just because of the

00:25:57.894 --> 00:25:59.994
quality and content of the movie.

00:26:00.594 --> 00:26:04.414
And so, you know, I think it's perfectly logical.

00:26:04.654 --> 00:26:09.674
I think it's a very opportune time for F1 racing the organization to make a

00:26:09.674 --> 00:26:11.034
bigger push into the U.S.

00:26:11.154 --> 00:26:15.554
Because now they've got dramatized in a positive fashion.

00:26:15.974 --> 00:26:20.794
So the whole thing to me makes perfect sense. And because Apple was so instrumental,

00:26:21.674 --> 00:26:27.434
in doing the F1 movie, that they would be a logical partner because they clearly,

00:26:28.374 --> 00:26:32.734
through the making of the movie, they have come to understand F1 better than

00:26:32.734 --> 00:26:38.154
maybe some of the other networks who see it as a product to be put on,

00:26:38.374 --> 00:26:40.594
to be broadcast or put out on the shelf,

00:26:41.154 --> 00:26:43.534
as opposed to building something around it.

00:26:44.274 --> 00:26:46.174
So again, I think it's a win-win.

00:26:48.583 --> 00:26:52.023
Yeah, I agree with all of that. And it's clear.

00:26:52.183 --> 00:26:54.803
I mean, look, you take all these PR comments with a pinch of salt,

00:26:54.823 --> 00:26:59.523
but they did reference in the announcement that they'd been working together

00:26:59.523 --> 00:27:02.303
on the movie and therefore this was an extension of the partnership.

00:27:03.463 --> 00:27:09.083
So that just endorses everything you've just said. All I would say is surely

00:27:09.083 --> 00:27:13.723
if it was going to go anywhere on streaming, Formula One should really be going

00:27:13.723 --> 00:27:16.663
on Netflix alongside Drive to Survive.

00:27:18.143 --> 00:27:25.403
But as I put this in my newsletter, but obviously Netflix, it likes doing one-off sporting events.

00:27:25.963 --> 00:27:29.043
We can put WWE, I think, slightly in a different category.

00:27:29.823 --> 00:27:34.403
But it doesn't want to be the place that has to run a season of a sport.

00:27:35.163 --> 00:27:40.503
And so that's clearly part of the reason. Because Netflix has afforded $750

00:27:40.503 --> 00:27:44.003
million to buy the rights.

00:27:44.003 --> 00:27:51.943
Of course it could have. but I don't think it likes having to do this weekly

00:27:51.943 --> 00:27:55.343
kind of thing and so obviously didn't get involved.

00:27:56.630 --> 00:28:03.590
But to me, that would have been the most logical home of Formula One racing on a streaming service.

00:28:03.890 --> 00:28:08.450
But Apple, it's a close second. It's on the podium, let's put it that way. So it does make sense.

00:28:09.410 --> 00:28:12.730
Okay, so now you gave me something to think about because I hadn't considered

00:28:12.730 --> 00:28:16.990
that relationship potentially with Netflix.

00:28:18.470 --> 00:28:20.190
Right. But I'm with you. I don't

00:28:20.190 --> 00:28:23.590
think Netflix, right now, they don't seem to be showing a great deal.

00:28:25.150 --> 00:28:30.310
Their sports programming seems to be limited to things like that sort of sports.

00:28:33.370 --> 00:28:39.790
Sports entertainment as opposed to pure sports competition and so and one-off

00:28:39.790 --> 00:28:45.510
events right yeah and one-off events yeah where they can make a big splash and

00:28:45.510 --> 00:28:46.830
you and i both christmas day,

00:28:47.650 --> 00:28:51.170
yeah and you and i both know that a lot of that is driven so they're hoping

00:28:51.170 --> 00:28:55.930
that they will get subscribers who will then either stick around or forget to

00:28:55.930 --> 00:29:00.090
unsubscribe and create a little revenue bump every year.

00:29:00.710 --> 00:29:06.770
And so if somebody somewhere with a whole lot of spreadsheets is doing the analysis

00:29:06.770 --> 00:29:10.610
and saying, this is what it's going to cost us, this is what it'll get us,

00:29:10.770 --> 00:29:13.250
it's a net positive right now, so we'll do it.

00:29:15.229 --> 00:29:18.489
But would it have been a net positive for F1 racing?

00:29:19.829 --> 00:29:24.889
I kind of doubt it. Look, more people have Netflix than they have Apple TV.

00:29:26.189 --> 00:29:32.549
Who knows? I suspect that we don't know. It's going to be fascinating to watch

00:29:32.549 --> 00:29:33.909
how it plays out next season.

00:29:34.729 --> 00:29:38.949
I won't have it here. Formula One has a relationship with Sky Sports here,

00:29:39.749 --> 00:29:43.569
which actually is another point I've heard on a podcast discussing this,

00:29:43.569 --> 00:29:51.289
is it might be that Apple takes the commentary from here in the UK, the Sky commentary.

00:29:52.469 --> 00:29:56.749
So that's another thing just to bear in mind, that Apple might not do all the

00:29:56.749 --> 00:30:01.369
production, which it does do on Friday Night Baseball.

00:30:01.709 --> 00:30:04.789
Well, there are two things that I'm going to be really interested to see,

00:30:04.909 --> 00:30:08.289
and maybe I haven't read enough or paid quite enough attention to this.

00:30:08.409 --> 00:30:14.909
But number one, to your point, Are they going to take the local UK broadcast

00:30:14.909 --> 00:30:20.049
announcers, or are they going to supply American announcers for an American audience?

00:30:20.629 --> 00:30:25.969
Or would they run them both and let you decide which commentators you want?

00:30:25.969 --> 00:30:29.309
The other thing, though, that I'm not quite sure, we're talking about,

00:30:29.349 --> 00:30:31.029
you just mentioned race day.

00:30:32.269 --> 00:30:37.049
Because of time zone differences and all, is it possible that they would allow

00:30:37.049 --> 00:30:40.329
replays or on-demand streaming of races?

00:30:41.911 --> 00:30:45.271
Oh, I'm sure you would have to. It'd be crazy not to, wouldn't it?

00:30:45.891 --> 00:30:50.311
I would think so, but I'm looking at it from a very US-centric point of view.

00:30:52.591 --> 00:30:56.031
Yeah, but it's not US-centric. Well, it's US-centric in the sense it's only

00:30:56.031 --> 00:30:58.971
going to be relevant in the US because it's only going to be shown in the US.

00:30:59.671 --> 00:31:05.351
But the issues of time zone is correct wherever you are, if you're a Formula

00:31:05.351 --> 00:31:07.311
One fan, because races are all over the world.

00:31:08.391 --> 00:31:11.231
They go to all different places and all different times of the day

00:31:11.231 --> 00:31:15.091
i would be amazed if

00:31:15.091 --> 00:31:18.691
you there wasn't you know on demand viewing and

00:31:18.691 --> 00:31:21.491
of course we're talking only about race day because

00:31:21.491 --> 00:31:24.391
that's the only thing perhaps not very big uh formula

00:31:24.391 --> 00:31:30.631
one fans like you and i even notice but the whole thing about uh formula is

00:31:30.631 --> 00:31:35.131
it does go over a weekend there's practices that is qualifying some of the Grand

00:31:35.131 --> 00:31:39.571
Prix's have sprint races too so there's quite a lot of different elements that

00:31:39.571 --> 00:31:42.091
go into showing Formula 1 not just one race.

00:31:43.334 --> 00:31:48.874
And that could be a nice little extra package for whether it's pay for package

00:31:48.874 --> 00:31:54.054
or not for real F1 fans that if you want to see the race, you do this.

00:31:54.174 --> 00:31:57.174
If you want to see everything else, you do that.

00:31:58.174 --> 00:32:00.974
I'm thinking, frankly. I would be amazed if they separated it.

00:32:01.214 --> 00:32:05.914
I would, too. I would, too. But in relation to that, I'm thinking about the

00:32:05.914 --> 00:32:09.234
way the Masters handles their coverage, the Masters Golf Tournament.

00:32:09.234 --> 00:32:15.794
Where, you know, if you use the app, you know, they have a number of different

00:32:15.794 --> 00:32:18.574
streams of the same tournament.

00:32:19.014 --> 00:32:22.394
Now, I realize F1 racing is a little bit different, but, you know,

00:32:22.474 --> 00:32:28.234
the idea that there can be these innovations and coverages for different sports

00:32:28.234 --> 00:32:35.794
that focus on the particulars and the quirks of that sport is really interesting.

00:32:35.794 --> 00:32:39.074
And I feel like there's an opportunity here for that to be explored for F1.

00:32:40.714 --> 00:32:43.634
Yeah i would imagine a lot of that will come

00:32:43.634 --> 00:32:46.394
through data and analytics and that

00:32:46.394 --> 00:32:49.194
kind of thing that may show uh viewers that

00:32:49.194 --> 00:32:53.774
really want to dive into it deeply i would imagine that will be the case yeah

00:32:53.774 --> 00:32:58.714
hey i did before we get too far gone here i wanted to let you know that i was

00:32:58.714 --> 00:33:03.734
not hallucinating um i put a nine to five mac article in it i sent it to charlotte

00:33:03.734 --> 00:33:07.314
in our in our google sheet, and I'll put it in the show notes for everyone.

00:33:08.474 --> 00:33:13.854
But according to a report, Apple has decided to exit its relationship with Major League Baseball.

00:33:14.905 --> 00:33:19.785
So, and this came from a nine to five Mac article, um, August 19th.

00:33:20.405 --> 00:33:25.205
So there you go. Oh no. Yeah. This was, and you're absolutely right. It was from August.

00:33:25.325 --> 00:33:29.985
I think we did discuss it, but then it was, um, a Yahoo sports reporter and

00:33:29.985 --> 00:33:30.965
you're absolutely right.

00:33:31.345 --> 00:33:35.145
So we didn't miss it. We just can't remember anything because I'm getting old.

00:33:37.105 --> 00:33:40.125
Um, no, wait a minute, Charlotte, you're not getting old. you're just

00:33:40.125 --> 00:33:43.285
super busy because you have a book uh that's

00:33:43.285 --> 00:33:46.945
out in the uk and is about to come out in the u.s i do

00:33:46.945 --> 00:33:50.165
it's behind me it's called streaming wars do i

00:33:50.165 --> 00:33:53.065
will be very keen to talk about that in a minute let's just finish off though

00:33:53.065 --> 00:33:56.105
because i want there's one more thing i want to get your take on because it's

00:33:56.105 --> 00:34:02.425
a very u.s centric it's only relevant again in the u.s and that is apple have

00:34:02.425 --> 00:34:04.605
done a bundling deal with peacock

00:34:04.605 --> 00:34:08.385
now rebundling is a topic i've written about and i'm interested in.

00:34:09.365 --> 00:34:16.345
So Peacock, Apple TV, they're not the biggest standalone services,

00:34:16.745 --> 00:34:19.205
kind of get why they want to work together in the US.

00:34:20.385 --> 00:34:26.045
One person I saw on social media asked a really good question,

00:34:26.645 --> 00:34:29.405
which was, what happens if you have Apple One?

00:34:33.305 --> 00:34:40.665
I.e. you've got a bundle already of Apple services at a set price.

00:34:41.925 --> 00:34:47.005
If you want Peacock as well, do you have no choice but to buy it separately?

00:34:47.345 --> 00:34:51.285
Do you have to pay for it twice and have paid twice for Apple TV?

00:34:52.405 --> 00:34:56.325
It's an interesting question. I don't know if maybe in the US when you go to

00:34:56.325 --> 00:35:01.785
sign up, they'll now add an option, Apple TV with Peacock.

00:35:01.865 --> 00:35:04.905
And you pay a little bit extra as part of your Apple One bundle?

00:35:05.165 --> 00:35:06.725
It just struck me as an interesting question.

00:35:07.265 --> 00:35:12.825
It is. And I've seen articles about this, but I'm not ready to say that I recall

00:35:12.825 --> 00:35:15.565
because it really didn't apply to me at that point.

00:35:16.085 --> 00:35:22.945
But I guess my feeling is that here in the U.S., everybody's offering bundles with everybody else.

00:35:23.585 --> 00:35:33.705
And if I buy that bundle and let's just – I'm going to make it up and say it's Netflix and Hulu.

00:35:35.205 --> 00:35:44.225
And then next week, I decided I wanted to add another one, but I already have those two.

00:35:44.345 --> 00:35:48.485
But there's another bundle now that includes those two or has at least one of those two.

00:35:50.625 --> 00:35:53.985
Nobody's going to give me a discount. I've already bought bundle A.

00:35:54.005 --> 00:35:57.225
If I want to buy bundle B, I can do it. And there's an overlap,

00:35:57.445 --> 00:36:03.225
but nobody's going to give me extra days or weeks or months on my service.

00:36:03.225 --> 00:36:03.785
Sounds like a you problem.

00:36:04.145 --> 00:36:09.605
Yeah. So, you know, I would be kind of surprised in so many ways.

00:36:10.285 --> 00:36:14.905
I think it makes a certain amount of sense because as all of these services

00:36:14.905 --> 00:36:19.385
raise their prices, they've got to figure out a way to deliver better value

00:36:19.385 --> 00:36:20.905
for what you're getting.

00:36:21.185 --> 00:36:23.665
And so bundling makes a whole lot of sense.

00:36:24.345 --> 00:36:29.045
And Peacock and Apple TV Plus, you know, those are pretty good bedfellows.

00:36:29.245 --> 00:36:31.485
I guess as good as anybody else, maybe better.

00:36:34.287 --> 00:36:38.927
Yeah, I agree with a lot of that. It's almost like people, you know,

00:36:39.087 --> 00:36:42.627
we've got huge amounts of subscription fatigue. We know that.

00:36:43.587 --> 00:36:48.927
And it's almost like people want to pay once a month to have everything they want available.

00:36:50.067 --> 00:36:53.087
Who would have thought that that was a concept?

00:36:54.287 --> 00:36:57.687
Well, you know, something you said earlier, too, that I wanted to,

00:36:57.887 --> 00:37:03.727
and I never got to it, that Formula One, F1 racing is now moving behind a paywall.

00:37:04.887 --> 00:37:09.627
I'm not so sure, Charlotte, that pretty much any and all quality programming,

00:37:10.307 --> 00:37:14.287
absent maybe some of the sports, isn't going to end up behind a paywall somewhere.

00:37:15.087 --> 00:37:20.447
Because the networks here, I can't speak for the UK, but the networks here,

00:37:20.447 --> 00:37:26.367
I feel like they've just kind of given up on scripted programming because what

00:37:26.367 --> 00:37:28.327
they're offering is pathetic.

00:37:29.947 --> 00:37:36.507
I can't think of a single network program that I have any respect for.

00:37:37.027 --> 00:37:41.147
No, scratch that. I better not do that, but that I have any interest in.

00:37:42.227 --> 00:37:44.867
But there are a lot of things on Google. How do you really go, Charles?

00:37:45.307 --> 00:37:52.427
Yeah, well, listen, when you start digging up 1950s and 60s game shows and,

00:37:52.427 --> 00:37:57.287
you know, that kind of thing and putting, yeah, current stars in them and running

00:37:57.287 --> 00:37:58.427
them in prime time, Charlotte?

00:38:00.376 --> 00:38:05.996
And game shows in prime time? Are you going to tell me that this isn't an industry

00:38:05.996 --> 00:38:09.536
that has just given up a segment of the market?

00:38:12.136 --> 00:38:16.256
So I think it has. I think that's true either side of the antic.

00:38:16.316 --> 00:38:24.016
I think there is some pretty good programming from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 here in the UK.

00:38:25.956 --> 00:38:30.336
But I think it's fair to say that a lot of the programs where people go,

00:38:30.896 --> 00:38:32.616
oh, my God, have you watched this? I'm binging this.

00:38:34.116 --> 00:38:35.816
Most of them are on streaming services.

00:38:37.376 --> 00:38:39.616
Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

00:38:41.496 --> 00:38:46.976
That's why I wrote a book about them, Chuck. All right, now let's get to the book, Streaming Wars.

00:38:48.676 --> 00:38:53.456
Yeah, it's out now in the UK. It might be out in the US by the time you listen to this.

00:38:53.576 --> 00:38:57.636
It comes out 28th of October in the US. You can get it basically wherever you

00:38:57.636 --> 00:39:04.356
buy a book. I looked at the whole picture of streaming from Netflix to Spotify to Twitch.

00:39:04.796 --> 00:39:08.096
And obviously there's a lot of Apple TV in there as well.

00:39:08.996 --> 00:39:15.136
I've just had the horrible realization that every reference to it is Apple TV Plus in the book.

00:39:18.236 --> 00:39:21.436
Well, thanks a lot, IDQ. Yeah, there you go.

00:39:21.616 --> 00:39:23.556
There you go. and didn't you mention

00:39:23.556 --> 00:39:26.836
in our pre-show that you're doing an appearance uh somewhere at least,

00:39:27.636 --> 00:39:32.036
coming up i'm not sure it'll be out oh i'm having a launch party in the uk yeah

00:39:32.036 --> 00:39:36.896
but i've there's all sorts of podcasts i'm popping up on as well so it'd be

00:39:36.896 --> 00:39:43.456
lovely if people listen to those lovely people subscribe here and the most lovely

00:39:43.456 --> 00:39:45.396
if you pick up a copy of the book,

00:39:47.016 --> 00:39:48.136
Definitely, definitely.

00:39:49.056 --> 00:39:54.256
I'm looking forward to it because, as I've said before, you are such a student

00:39:54.256 --> 00:39:58.896
of this kind of thing, and you bring a lot of things to light that the rest

00:39:58.896 --> 00:40:03.156
of us don't really think about, nor probably could we because we don't have the background.

00:40:05.844 --> 00:40:10.824
Um well it's such a nice way of you to say student instead of nerd i i really

00:40:10.824 --> 00:40:15.184
appreciate that where can people keep up with all the cool cool stuff you're doing,

00:40:16.324 --> 00:40:19.464
you can find me over at macvoices.com that's

00:40:19.464 --> 00:40:22.704
where i have a lot of interviews we have panel discussions we

00:40:22.704 --> 00:40:25.504
keep you up to date on the world of tech with an apple

00:40:25.504 --> 00:40:28.344
focus and on all the socials you can find me

00:40:28.344 --> 00:40:31.024
as at chuck joyer charlotte where can

00:40:31.024 --> 00:40:34.324
they find you so as well

00:40:34.324 --> 00:40:37.804
as um obviously these streaming wars head over to the edition.net that's

00:40:37.804 --> 00:40:40.744
where i write blog do podcasts about

00:40:40.744 --> 00:40:43.984
the crossover of culture media and sport and there's

00:40:43.984 --> 00:40:47.324
a lot of emphasis on the tech that drives all those things um

00:40:47.324 --> 00:40:52.264
so i'd love you to head over there subscribe to the newsletter so on and so

00:40:52.264 --> 00:40:58.484
forth this is we got through it all chuck we did when i saw i mean there was

00:40:58.484 --> 00:41:03.484
a lot to get through but uh i think we've made some sense of it all and uh maybe

00:41:03.484 --> 00:41:06.684
we still have a name for our show Yeah, I think so.

00:41:06.844 --> 00:41:09.124
And if anything changes, folks, we'll let you know.

00:41:09.664 --> 00:41:14.624
But until the next time when we come back and talk more Apple TV,

00:41:15.504 --> 00:41:19.884
Apple TV, just Apple TV, thanks for watching.
