The Morning After: Fox, Roku and Super Bowl LIV - Engadget

Sponsored Links

Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.

Our long national nightmare is over. After a carriage dispute that lasted absolutely no time at all, Fox and Roku have worked out their distribution squabble, and you will be able to watch Super Bowl LIV via Fox apps on the Roku platform.

That should make it easy to watch the game in "4K" if you have the right hardware, without switching apps or plugging another set-top box in. And if you don't have the right combination of hardware or services, then no problem -- we've got some advice.

It's far from the worst thing on SoundCloud/Spotify, and probably won't lead to a massive lawsuit, so there's that at least.

The next Fast & Furious movie is almost here, and on Friday we got a peek at its four-minute "teaser" trailer. Beyond the near-fantasy-level automotive hijinks, one thing that jumped out is the crew's choice in mobile devices. For whatever reason, more than one car has RED's much-hyped phone strapped to the dash, and this isn't even the only production to feature that hardware -- the Hydrogen One stood in as an evil plot device in the final season of Marvel's Runaways.

It's a miracle the Honda E is even here, considering how much Honda seemed to hate electric cars. Until recently, Honda (along with Toyota) has focused on hybrid and hydrogen cars, while ceding the EV market to Tesla and others. However, a maverick gang of Honda engineers convinced management to build the Honda E. They even kept the design pretty close to the Urban E concept it's based on, right down to the wild futuristic interior.

And it paid off. The compact EV's retro-cute je ne sais quoi (not to mention all the technology inside) has grabbed the attention of car buyers and EV fans of all stripes. Now, all that remains is to see if it's as fun to be in and drive as it looks. Steve Dent took it for a spin.

Chicken wings are Super Bowl LIV's MVP with Americans expected to eat a record 1.4 billion wings - USA TODAY

Kelly Tyko USA TODAY

Published 2:59 PM EST Jan 31, 2020

The chicken sandwich may have finished 2019 as poultry's best player, but on Sunday, the chicken wing will be the MVP.

Super Bowl Sunday is the unofficial annual day of the wing; and this year, Americans are expected to eat a record 1.4 billion of them, 27 million more wings than during the big game a year ago, according to the National Chicken Council's annual Chicken Wing Report.

“Super Bowl is the single-biggest wing occasion,” National Chicken Council spokesman Tom Super told USA TODAY. “The demand for chicken has been increasing, and consumption is at an all-time high. But definitely around Super Bowl time, wings are king."

And to be clear, we're talking about the traditional bone-in wings – not boneless wings, which the Chicken Council's Super called "chicken breast with buffalo sauce."

For game day, he estimates two-thirds of wings will come from takeout and a third will be made at home. Super Bowl Sunday has been the No. 1 revenue day of the year for chicken wing restaurants, according to an analysis by Womply, a small-business software provider.

Super Bowl 2020: Big food day

This Sunday is likely to be one of the biggest party days of the year. According to the National Retail Federation's 2020 Super Bowl survey, nearly 194 million adults said they had plans for the game, which pits the San Francisco 49ers against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV from Miami.

All the parties and food add up.

The retail group's survey estimates the average person will spend $88.65 on food and beverages, merchandise and party supplies, for a total of $17.2 billion nationwide.

Super Bowl Sunday is also still a big day for pizza chains.

It's one of Domino's top five busiest delivery days of the year in the U.S. The pizza chain says it typically sells about 2 million pizzas on game day, which the company says is 40% more than a normal Sunday.

What about plant-based?

While KFC and Beyond Meat announced this week an expanded test of plant-based Beyond Fried Chicken, the vegan-friendly "chicken" will miss Sunday's kickoff. The test starts Monday in more than 70 locations in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Nashville, Tennessee, and surrounding areas.

Sandy Sauter, executive chef of programs at The Culinary Institute of America, said there's also movement in "plant-forward" rather than "plant-based."

She said while Americans aren’t completely removing meat, they’re trying to make some substitutions and adding more vegetables and other plant-based ingredients into their meals, including on Super Bowl Sunday.

"One easy game-day swap is cauliflower," Sauter said. "We’re seeing a proliferation of Buffalo-style cauliflower on restaurant menus and this versatile vegetable also lends itself to other favorite wing sauces, including barbecue, sweet and sour and sweet chili pepper.”

Roku and Fox strike a last-minute deal to keep Super Bowl-streaming apps working - The Verge

For a moment, it looked Roku owners would be losing the highest-quality way to stream the Super Bowl for free, when the set-top box maker announced Thursday that it would abruptly pull Fox’s apps off the platform a day ahead of the game. But that won’t actually be happening.

Late Friday, Roku and Fox announced that they’ve reached a new agreement that will ensure the Fox apps keep on working without pause — and they’ll be restored to the Roku app store this weekend ahead of the game, Roku tells The Verge.

“We are delighted that we reached an agreement with FOX to distribute FOX channels on the Roku platform. Roku customers can stream the Super Bowl through FOX Now, Fox Sports and NFL in addition to other ways,” reads a statement from Roku.

“We are pleased to have reached a successful agreement with Roku. FOX’s leading suite of apps will continue to be available on the Roku platform,” reads a parallel statement from Fox.

Remember when we reported Thursday how the Roku icon had disappeared from Fox’s Super Bowl landing page? It’s back again, too — as if nothing ever happened.

As we’ve reported, the entire standoff was a heated carriage dispute playing out in the public realm, with each side hoping its customers would get angry enough at the other party to convince them to stand down. While Roku tried to convince customers to watch the game through other apps (like NFL, Fubo TV, Sling TV, and Xfinity), Fox poured on even more pressure on Friday by getting Fox News hosts like Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham to rile up their audiences directly. We’ve definitely seen tweets from angry owners threatening to ditch their Roku.

Got a tip for us? Use SecureDrop or Signal to securely send messages and files to The Verge without revealing your identity.

It’s not clear who started the fight, or who gave in at the end. While each side blamed the other for pulling the channels down to begin with, neither Roku nor Fox would share any proof of that with The Verge. Nor are they sharing details of the new agreement now, though we’re hoping maybe some of those details eventually float our way.

But the situation did seem suspiciously similar to a tactic mentioned in a Bloomberg report this past December about how “Roku executives will threaten to cancel a channel if its owner doesn’t give Roku a larger cut of ad sales,” and we’re quite curious if Roku got its way. Roku holds a lot of power as the most popular streaming platform in the US, but then again so does Fox as the exclusive presenter of Super Bowl LIV.

Either way, we’ve now seen that over-the-top streaming platforms like Roku may be no better than a cable box in one key way: they can still hold subscribers hostage if there’s extra money to be made.

Roku’s true identity as a cable box that works over the internet revealed and not just an open platform for streaming apps coming through at the worst possible time: https://t.co/Ysb6w9O439

Amazon blows past a $1 trillion valuation after topping analysts' earnings expectations (AMZN) - Business Insider

Amazon shares tore as much as 11% higher in early Friday trading, pushing the company's market valuation above $1 trillion for the first time since July.

The e-commerce giant announced fourth-quarter financials after the market closed on Thursday, beating expectations for revenue and profit. Amazon Web Services, a rapidly growing revenue stream for the firm, also topped estimates despite a continued slowdown in sales growth.

The results showed that heavy investments in AWS, Prime one-day shipping, and its retail footprint were beginning to pay off after years of squeezed margins. The company said it spent $1.5 billion less than expected in the fourth quarter because of shipping efficiencies, though the new one-day service boosted total shipping costs to $12.9 billion, up 43% year-over-year.

"We are getting more efficient both in our transportation and delivery methods and also in our warehouses," Chief Financial Officer Brian Olsavsky said in a call with analysts.

Here are the key figures:

Revenue: $87.4 billion, versus the $86.2 billion estimate
Earnings per share: $6.47, versus the $4.11 estimate
Operating income: $3.88 billion, versus the $2.75 billion estimate
AWS net sales: $9.95 billion, versus the $9.89 billion estimate

"Prime membership continues to get better for customers year after year. And customers are responding — more people joined Prime this quarter than ever before, and we now have over 150 million paid Prime members around the world," founder and CEO Jeff Bezos said in the report. Less than two years ago, the company said it had 100 million Prime members worldwide.

Amazon first jumped above the $1 trillion threshold in early September 2018, becoming the second company to achieve the feat, after Apple. Shares dropped through the rest of the year before hitting the market-cap milestone again in July, though the company's valuation didn't stay above the lofty level for long.

The only other companies trading with valuations above $1 trillion are Apple, Microsoft, and Saudi Aramco.

The earnings beat followed a less enthusiastically received third-quarter report. Amazon topped estimates for revenue but fell below hopes for quarterly profits when it reported earnings on October 24. The profit miss drove Amazon shares as much as 8.6% lower in after-hours trading.

Amazon closed at $1,870.68 per share on Thursday, up about 1.3% year-to-date.

The company has 53 "buy" ratings, four "hold" ratings, and no "sell" ratings, with a consensus price target of $2417.03, according to Bloomberg data.

Consumer spending posts modest gain in December as inflation accelerates - MarketWatch

Consumers are spending enough to keep the U.S. economy growing for a record 11th straight year.

The numbers: U.S. consumer spending rose modestly in December to cap off a decent holiday shopping season, but the increase in outlays in 2019 was the smallest in three years.

A key measure of inflation, meanwhile, accelerated to the highest rate of the year, though it’s still quite low.

Consumer spending increased 0.3% last month, the government said Friday, matching the MarketWatch forecast. Incomes rose a smaller 0.2%.

That’s a big turnaround from last year, when consumer spending slumped almost 1% amid a partial government and brief worries about the threat of recession.

The rate of inflation also picked up, however. The PCE inflation index rose 0.3% last month, marking the biggest increase since last April.

The yearly rate of inflation also rose to a one-year high of 1.6%, though it’s still below the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.

Read: Economy grows 2.1% in fourth quarter. GDP gets boost from falling trade deficit

What happened: Americans spent more on prescription drugs and health care in December. They spent less on new cars and trucks and utilities during a warmer than usual month.

Income growth, for its part, was depressed by a big decline in the earnings of farmers, part of which reflected lower government subsidies.

A separate measure of inflation that strips away food and energy, known as core PCE, rose 0.2% in December. They yearly rate edged up to 1.6% from 1.5%.

The savings rate dipped to 7.6% from 7.8%, but Americans saved the most in 2019 in seven years.

Also: The Fed is keeping a close eye on the ‘serious’ coronavirus

Big picture: The longest running economic expansion in U.S. history has been fueled by steady consumer spending, but there’s a limit to how much Americans can spend. Consumer incomes and spending rose in 2019 at the slowest pace in three years.

Many economists predict spending will slow a bit more this year because wage growth has flattened out.

Inflation, meanwhile, is still quite low despite a recent uptick. Most economists estimate inflation will rise to around 2% in 2020 but probably not go much higher.

If they’re right, the Fed is unlikely to raise interest rates this year. Low rates should give a further boost to consumer spending and the broader economy.

Market reaction:The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.43% and S&P 500 SPX, +0.31% were set to open lower again in Friday trades. Stocks had been trading at records earlier in the month until the outbreak of the coronavirus in China.

The 10-year Treasury yield TMUBMUSD10Y, -2.06% slipped to 1.56%. Investors have sought the perceived safety of government bonds.
