Chick-fil-A, the popular fast-food chain known for its chicken sandwiches, is making a bold move by launching its own streaming service later this year. It's an opportunity for a different kind of Chick-fil-a binge, if you will. The company is partnering with major production companies and studios to create a lineup of original, family-friendly content.
Initially, Chick-fil-A's streaming platform will focus primarily on unscripted shows and reality TV. Some of the projects in the works include:
- A family-oriented game show produced by Glassman Media (creators of NBC's "The Wall") and Sugar23 (known for Netflix's "13 Reasons Why"), with a 10-episode commitment
- Potential scripted series and animated content in the future.
The budget for unscripted series is reportedly around $400,000 per half-hour episode.
This isn't Chick-fil-A's first foray into content creation. The company has previously produced short, animated films like "Stories of Evergreen Hills" for its website and has experience creating children's puzzles and games under its Pennycake brand.
Despite the challenges of entering the competitive streaming landscape, Chick-fil-A's strong brand, loyal customer base, and focus on family-friendly content could help it find a niche.
No word if it will air on Sundays.
6 Ways To Take Care of Your Mental Health and Wellness This Election Season
Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves for the wild ride that is the 2024 election season! As the political circus unfolds, it's essential to prioritize your sanity and well-being.
The 2024 presidential race has taken several surprising turns in recent months:
The next four months are sure to bring more unexpected developments in this already wild and unprecedented presidential election. But fear not, for I have compiled the ultimate self-care guide to help you navigate these turbulent times with a smile on your face and a spring in your step, (hopefully).
Create a Political-Free Zone
Designate a room in your home as a political-free sanctuary. This is where you can escape the endless debates, mud-slinging, and poll-obsessed pundits. Fill this space with calming elements like scented candles, soothing music, and a life-size cardboard cutout of your favorite non-political celebrity. Remember, in this room, the only party allowed is the one that involves dancing and laughter.
Develop Selective Hearing
Master the art of selective hearing when it comes to political discussions. When someone starts ranting about their preferred candidate, simply nod and smile while mentally transporting yourself to a tropical beach. If all else fails, perfect the phrase, "Oh, look at the time! I have to go water my pet rock."
Engage in Retail Therapy
When the stress of the election season becomes too much to bear, indulge in some good old-fashioned retail therapy. Treat yourself to that fancy kitchen gadget you've been eyeing or splurge on a cozy blanket to hide under until the inauguration. Just remember, money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a lifetime supply of ice cream to drown your political sorrows.
Embrace the Power of Laughter
Laughter is the best medicine, especially during an election year. Seek out political satire, comedy shows, and memes that poke fun at the absurdity of it all. Host a "political roast" party with friends, where you take turns impersonating candidates and their ridiculous campaign promises. Just be sure to keep it light-hearted and remember that laughter unites us all, regardless of political affiliations.
Unplug and Recharge
When the 24/7 news cycle becomes too overwhelming, it's time to unplug and recharge. Take a break from social media, turn off the TV, and engage in activities that bring you joy. Go for a walk in nature, read a book (preferably not a political memoir), or take up a new hobby like underwater basket weaving. Disconnecting from the political noise will help you maintain your sanity and perspective.
Practice Political Mindfulness
Incorporate mindfulness techniques into your daily routine to manage election-related stress. Take deep breaths and repeat calming mantras like, "This too shall pass," or "I am not defined by my political views." When tensions run high, visualize yourself in a peaceful place, like a serene meadow filled with frolicking puppies and kittens wearing tiny "I Voted" stickers.
