A new report indicates that a record number of viewers are expected to watch Super Bowl 50 via Internet connected TV platforms like Roku, Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV and others. But there will be at least one significant change for the Super Bowl this year: National ads accompanying the game will be live-streamed along with the main attraction for the first time, according to Variety. That started the Bills on a run of four consecutive Super Bowl losses. Just go to App Store and look for the big banner highlighting the app and the Super Bowl.
Tamara Gaffney, principal analyst at Adobe Digital Index, expects the digital Super Bowl viewing trend to continue to grow. NFL Network will have a host of reporters and personalities covering every aspect of the big game, from Deion Sanders and Terrell Davis in the NFL Fan Plaza to Amber Theoharis and Willie McGinest on the Gold Carpet.
If you want to check out a countdown timer so you know exactly what time Super Bowl will start, you can see one at this official NFL Super Bowl 2016 page.
We’ve talked before about understanding American football and the NFL as a Brit, and if we’ve succeeded in converting you, you’ve probably got this Sunday circled on your calendar. Why? Thirty-six per cent of Gen Xers said this year’s Super Bowl ads will affect their purchase decisions, while 30 per cent of Millennials and 27 per cent of Baby Boomers said the same.
What is the Super Bowl 50 Channel? P&G led the way a year ago with more than 60 days. So you’ve got to make sure you don’t let the new technology overwhelm you and spend too much time worrying about the bells and whistles and not enough about the coverage of the game itself.
So, there you have it. Enjoy the Super Bowl 2016 and have an awesome weekend. Head over to the website or look for BBC iPlayer and BBC sports apps.
