Inside the Stream: MS NOW Expands Streaming; Amazon’s Engagement; Microdrama Growth
This week on Inside the Stream, we start with MS NOW’s plan to evolve into a streaming and community hub for progressive activism. Given cord-cutting and the decline of linear TV news consumption by younger viewers, we see it as a positive move. Next, we discuss why data indicates engagement with Prime Video is far lower than other streaming services. Finally, microdramas continue their growth and monetization.

MSNBC Gets It Right with "Inside the Obama White House" Minisite
NBC and MSNBC nicely executed their "Inside the Obama White House" minisite, built to accompany this week's exclusive 2 night special, which itself boosted NBC's ratings. The minisite offers all the broadcast programming, chunked into logical parts. There's also web-only video, searchable clips and playlist functionality. The minisite presents the video in a very digestible, clear manner, so if you forgot to TiVo the special like me, you don't miss anything.
When you begin playing the video there's a pre-roll for Applebee's, which appears to be the primary sponsor, though Sprint has some banners too. Mid-rolls run after most segments and then the next programming segment resumes. Applebee's awareness is very strong, though I think they could have benefited from varied creative (I certainly won't forget its Steakburgers and Carside service)
One other random observation - if you look at the segment that the image below is captured from, you'll see that NBC's Brian Williams and President Obama appear to be wearing the exact same tie..pretty funny!Categories: Broadcasters
