Argh. The quality of the FCC’s live feed whether streamed from the FCC website or YouTube is *crummy.* And it’s not due to my ISP’s service, these streaming issues are not arising with other sites. C’mon man. pic.twitter.com/5ddvOX6iiK

➢ Cable felt a positive impact from sports viewership, showing a 25.5% increase in the sports genre in September. ESPN carried the top 11 cable telecasts for the month.

Quotable
“We’re just incredibly pleased with how it’s been going… I would say we anticipate that we will have incremental acquisition, incremental adds for the next several quarters. We’ve seen that in the last couple of quarters… So we anticipate seeing that for the next several quarters to come. And then just stepping back, there’s a set of borrowers that we’re not going to convert, we haven’t converted yet, we’re not going to convert over the next couple of quarters. But that really represents how we think about paid sharing going forward, which is it’s now become part of just our standard way of operating and we have many hundreds of millions of qualified households out there. They’re smart TV households that we want to win over over the next several years.” – Netflix President/Co-CEO Greg Peters talking about its password sharing crackdown on its 3Q23 earnings call
