At its ‘Peek Performance’ event earlier this week, Apple announced its first-ever live sports deal for Apple TV+, Friday Night Baseball. Apple is going to show two live games every Friday, complete with their own pre- and post-game shows, on-demand content, and 24/7 linear programming with highlights, throwback games, and more.
This is a big break from the usual slate of Apple TV+ shows and movies that the company has added to its platform thus far, but will it be enough to draw new subscribers to the burgeoning streaming platform?
That’s where you come in. We have not one but two polls you can take part in this week as we probe potential baseball fans about their interest in Apple TV+, and existing Apple TV+ fans about their interest in baseball.
