MacVoices #25301: TV+ Talk – IMDb Rankings, Live Sports Changes
Chuck Joiner and Charlotte Henry look at a report that stated that Apple TV now has the highest average IMDb scores among streamers, validating its “quality over quantity” strategy.. They look at whether that is adequate to grow the service, and the “visibility” of Apple TV. The conversation includes Apple’s shifting live-sports presence, from MLB’s new rights deals to Apple’s costly early exit from MLS, and how future sports experiences with Vision Pro and evolving streaming “wars” will affect the future.
