For Binge (TV) Day, I asked Minnesotans which TV shows they love to binge-watch

The fried chicken giant is getting into the streaming game.

Ads are coming too.

Despite some frustrating technical glitches, it was a promising first day of content.

Almost exactly a year ago, tech entrepreneur Sean Parker (better known as the guy who correctly identified a billion dollars as cooler than a million dollars in The Social Network) fronted a proposed business venture called The Screening Room, a potentially game-changing set-top box through which Hollywood studios would offer their biggest new releases to stream at home the same day they premiered in brick-and-mortar theaters. (With an astronomical price tag, naturally.) Though it gained some traction and support from significant voices in the film community, it ultimately sputtered and spun out. But with the rebirth of spring, so comes a rebirth for this impractical, frightening, cineplex-annihilating idea. (Kinda.)

Earlier this year, Jason Aldean joined forces with other huge names in the music industry in supporting an up-and-coming music service called Tidal after pulling his latest album from other streaming giant Spotify at the end of 2014. The decision was part of a movement among major artists from many genres of music to fight for what they argue to be fair pay for music streaming.

To try to gain a little early traction, Fox and the CW are streaming free full-length pilot episodes of a few freshman shows ahead of premiere week.
