BINGE TIMES - DADE HAYES DAWN CHMIELEWSKI GEBUNDEN

The first comprehensive account of the biggest wake-up call in the history of the entertainment
business: the pivot to streaming. Go inside a disparate group of media and tech companies --
Disney  Apple  AT&T WarnerMedia  Comcast NBCUniversal and well-funded startup Quibi - as they
scramble to mount multi-billion-dollar challenges to Netflix. After spotting Netflix and the
deep-pocketed Amazon Prime Video a decade's head start  rivals from the tech and start-up realm
(Apple  Quibi) and traditional media (Disney  WarnerMedia  NBCUniversal) all decided to move
mountains to enter the streaming game. At a cost of billions  each went after their own piece
of the market  launching five new services in a seven-month span. And just as the derby was
heating up  the coronavirus pandemic arrived  a black-swan event bringing short-term benefits
but also stiff challenges. The battle for streaming supremacy may end up having more than one
winner  but the cost and disruption to decades-old business models have also produced a lot of
losers. Binge Times reveals the true costs of the vision quest as companies are turned
inside-out and repeatedly redraw their org charts and strategic plans. Stretching from Silicon
Valley to Hollywood to Wall Street  it is a mesmerizing  character-rich tale of hubris and
ambition  as the fate of a century-old industry hangs in the balance.
