Netflix Tests the Waters with Live Tennis
Good afternoon from Las Vegas! This week, Netflix has once again pushed the boundaries of live programming with their latest event, The Netflix Slam. While the streaming service has previously experimented with various live genres including stand-up, golf, reality TV, and cooking, the addition of tennis exemplifies their commitment to harnessing the power of the live format.
The Emerging Trend of Live Programming
Netflix has consistently been at the forefront of exploring innovative content offerings, and live programming has been no exception. These experimental events serve as precursors to more significant undertakings planned for the future, including a weekly wrestling series set to debut next year.
The Netflix Sphere: Vegas’ Hottest Venue for Live Music
While in Las Vegas, it’s hard to ignore the buzz surrounding the city’s hottest music venue, aptly named The Netflix Sphere. Despite the author’s recent visits to Vegas, they haven’t yet had the pleasure of attending an event at this iconic location. Perhaps in the future, they hope to see it host an act that caters to the younger demographic, assuming Phish and Dead & Co. don’t claim the stage for an extended period. While there are more announcements yet to come for the remainder of this year, it appears that fans, especially those under 50, will have to wait until 2025 for a chance to see a contemporary A-list star like Beyoncé grace The Sphere.
