<\/p>\nIt’s a tough media world out there, and few institutions have been spared the transformations underway thanks to the internet.<\/p>\n
With Disney+ and Netflix posting records streaming numbers, and Quibi posting numbers that are perhaps a wee bit more bite-sized<\/a> than some execs might have hoped, the competition has become fierce for audiences in our locked-down world.<\/p>\n Now the Supreme Court is making a foray into the streaming wars, debuting its new streaming service this morning.<\/p>\n Dubbed SCOTUS+ (at least by me), the Supreme Court for the first time in its history will host a live broadcast of its oral arguments today. In fact, it’s going on right now<\/a> if you happen to read this post just as I am publishing it.<\/p>\n Best of all, it’s free, although whether the Supreme Court will offer a paid tier for fervent fans of the Court remains to be seen.<\/p>\n The streaming service debuted 10am EDT this morning with a riveting pilot episode titled, “Patent and Trademark Office v.

Trust me, the plot makes a lot more sense than Chrissy’s Court<\/a>.<\/p>\n This initial foray is almost certainly just the first step as the Supreme Court expands its media presence. Expect additional ancillary content such as the latest Gins-burn<\/a> and in-depth videos of Clarence Thomas not talking. And perhaps in competition with Quibi, the Court will introduce more “snackable arguments” that allows time-pressed millennials to enjoy their favorite oral arguments in bite-sized streams that fit into those careful windows for audio.<\/p>\n Later this year, the Supreme Court will introduce an Animal Crossing tie-in, with oral arguments replaced by ephemeral animated emotions of characters in a lawsuit over the cutting of interest rates by the Bank of Nook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Tags:<\/b> Danny Crichton<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s a tough media world out there, and few institutions have been spared the transformations underway thanks to the internet.
