ADAM: I work at a television company. And everybody watches television. Whether you're watching cable TV with a big fat remote, whether you're streaming, whether you're watching YouTube or Netflix or VIZIO, we own a television service called Watchfree+, everybody watches TV. So my whole job is thinking about, what's entertainment? What do we all watch? And I get to think about myself, What do I like to watch? How do I like to use TVs? So that's my favorite part is that my job deals with real people and things that we all do together.

Because, as you may have heard me say several dozen times before, without the tens of billions of dollars generated by carriage and retrans fees, the industry is going to have to get used to a less fiscally carefree existence. Streaming can still be a very profitable business, but it will never be as wildly profitable as it was in the 90s, 00s and much of the 2010s.

Philo also offers a Free Channels section, but don't be fooled by that label—you still need to pay for Philo to watch the content in that category. Here, you'll find channels with preprogrammed content such as Bloomberg Television, Cheddar News, Revry, and Gusto TV. Pluto TV and Xumo offer similar channels.
