Did a double-take at that headline. There are so many major streaming services struggling already, a fast food company trying to get into the business just seems really odd. Then I saw "family friendly" in the article and remembered that Chic-Fil-A is a heavily Christian organization. So, I'm betting this streaming service is likely going to be aimed towards conservative Christians.

Pretty sure other attempts have been made that flopped, and part of it was just a lack of subscribers. They can just stick signs for it in their stores, maybe even have some special free trial code given away with meals somehow so people can try it and hopefully get hooked. The family that owns Chic-Fil-A likely have a lot more money than other people who've attempted this, so they're already off to a better start than Butch Hartman and OAXIS.
I mean in my mind it's pretty odd that Chick-fil-A is entering the streaming game. But if there is a restaurant company that could make it happen. My money would be on Chick-fil-A. Based solely on...
