Music Has Cross-Platform Potential
As discussed on Wednesday’s Daily Observations podcast, Apple TV+ is becoming something of a hub for music-based series and films. On Tuesday, it announced that it had green-lit a movie about the life of Louis Armstrong. These latest offerings sit alongside documentaries about The Beastie Boys, Bruce Springsteen, and Billie Eilish. In no small part, music-based subject matter appeals to Apple as it is easy for it to cross-promote across Apple Music and its related radio stations.
