Amazon and NFL hoping to establish tradition with first Black Friday game
It is not a stretch to say the Black Friday game between the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets is Amazon맥스카지노s Super Bowl.
Not only does it mean an additional game on Prime Video that Amazon hopes to make into a yearly tradition, but it comes on the busiest shopping day of the year.
맥스카지노When we talked with the NFL, this is a perfect marriage. Black Friday is a huge event for us every year. We맥스카지노re really putting everything behind this,맥스카지노 Prime Video Vice President Jay Marine said.
Hans Schroeder, the executive vice president of NFL Media, said the league had been exploring the possibility of adding a game on Black Friday for a while. The Thanksgiving Day tripleheader has been among the most-watched games during the regular season for the past two years.
Adding a Black Friday game gives the NFL another day to take over. Combine it with it airing on Amazon, and it was a match made in football and commerce heaven.
맥스카지노It맥스카지노s an opportunity for us to continue to innovate with Amazon. I think some of what they맥스카지노ve done this year on Prime Vision is exciting with seeing that intersection of data and AI predictability and taking fans deeper inside of X맥스카지노s and O맥스카지노s,맥스카지노 Schroeder said. 맥스카지노I think the viewing experience will feel a little bit different and unique for that day and appropriately. We맥스카지노re excited about that.맥스카지노
Even though Amazon will highlight some deals and promotions throughout the day, it will not feel like Home Shopping Network meets a football game.
Marine said some of the Black Friday deals will be highlighted during commercials, and there will be a QR code to scan and shop during the game.
There will be one major promotion per quarter and other deals during the pregame, postgame and halftime shows.
The game will be available for all fans to stream for free. According to Nielsen, the most-viewed Amazon game came in Week 2 this season when the Philadelphia Eagles hosted the Minnesota Vikings.
NFL games are averaging 17.1 million viewers through 11 weeks, which is a 6% increase over last season. The league remains on track for its highest viewership since 2015.
Amazon also will air a concert by Garth Brooks following the game.
맥스카지노I맥스카지노m fascinated to see how it plays out in terms of the Amazon component because they맥스카지노ve taken it out from behind the paywall. So you can watch the game, and if you want to do additional Christmas shopping alongside the game, you will be able to do that. So this is kind of a brand new frontier,맥스카지노 said Al Michaels, who will call the game with Kirk Herbstreit and Kaylee Hartung. 맥스카지노I맥스카지노m curious to find out how this works. I mean, there맥스카지노s a chance in my mind that this could be spectacular.맥스카지노
With three games on Thanksgiving, a Black Friday matchup, three windows on Sunday and a Monday night game, half of the week맥스카지노s 16 matchups need national appeal.
During Christmas last year, the league showed it can schedule games on four days and spread the wealth with matchups across all of its media partners.
All 32 teams are playing this week, with 10 of the 16 games being a matchup between teams in the same division.
While college football has taken center stage in the past on the day after Thanksgiving, the 3 p.m. Eastern kickoff still gives colleges an early window and prime time. More of the college rivalry games on Thanksgiving weekend have been on Saturday.
Even though it will be Tim Boyle at quarterback for the Jets instead of Aaron Rodgers, the AFC East-leading Dolphins have ascended to national prominence with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receiver Tyreek Hill leading the offense.
