Greg Daniels made The Office and lots of other great TV. Now he's making shows for Amazon and Netflix. One of them's about a sort-of-dystopian future; another is inspired by Donald Trump. Make your own joke! Fun chat. https://t.co/45rivGINQ3 — PolitiTweet.org

@sonalsaldanha @fromedome Some of that, though I think a lot of people are calibrating that. I think it's that podcasts require engagement and I feel like I'm engaging a lot, so I want my downtime to be less work. — PolitiTweet.org

@sonalsaldanha @fromedome Lots of ns in that bucket. My pod consumption is way, way down. But, also, even times when I would listen to pods that wasn't dependent on moving around - before bed, etc, has dropped way off. Not entirely sure why that is. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@kreichard Yes, the platforms have gone back and forth on how/if they want this. My point is they certainly *can* — Facebook bid $600 million for Indian cricket a couple years ago — and that the NFL certainly wants them around to help push the TV buyers. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@kreichard Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Google would all have different incentives for paying for exclusive slate of game rights, but none of them would have to book an immediate profit on the deal, and all of them could easily afford it. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@kreichard But for now the broadcast guys really need the games, and the NFL isn't comfortable with asking its customers to stream. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@kreichard It is definitely an extension. The NFL wants to keep bringing digital bidders into the game, but isn't ready to bring its most valuable slate of games into all-digital, even those platforms could conceivably pay much much more than broadcast. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Ah, it's the NFL, so even a nearly exclusive is less than it seems: Verizon customers can stream the games on their phones, too, says @sherman4949 https://t.co/tHJ00oFbGh — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Amazon also re-ups streaming rights to Thursday Night Football for 3 years. Those games are also on Fox and NFL Network, so digital audiences have been fairly limited in the past. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

NFL keeps tip-toeing into digital: Amazon will get nearly exclusive rights to a single Saturday game next fall; the two teams’ local markets can still watch on broadcast TV. — PolitiTweet.org

Spotify says music/podcast consumption fell off at beginning of pandemic but is coming back. What you are listening to has changed, though: “It’s clear from our data that morning routines have changed significantly. Every day now looks like the weekend.” — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Takeaway from Spotify’s Q1: Pandemic hasn’t hurt its core sub biz - no Netflix-like bump, but no fall-off - but has hurt its ad $. Ad biz missed goals by 20% in last few weeks of quarter - that’s advertisers cancelling buys, and cutting back spend. https://t.co/5NbLcXV8Rs — PolitiTweet.org
