Q: Everything from an improved lineup to focusing on higher-value customers, where are you seeing the levers really help drive that improvement?
A: When we look across our engagement metrics, we see increased viewership, 127 hours. We also see increased number of daily active users. We've seen an increase in the number of programs people are watching on average in 2020. We've gotten to 154 programs per customer. Our advertising revenue is quite strong even relative to where we were just six months ago. I think once we start to exceed $10, $11, or $12, it probably makes more sense to focus resources in an area where we can maximize our advertising revenue. So we're not there yet, but that's a good thing, of course, because we've got a lot more monetization ahead.

Q: In terms of sports wagering, I was wondering if you feel you need any more acquisitions. Or do you feel the current platform and people provide you with the capabilities of growing organically now that you have those in place and can grow with those?
A: We're very excited about our two acquisitions: Balto Sports and Vigtory. And we've just closed, as we mentioned in our shareholder letter, our acquisition of Vigtory. Next week, they'll already be in New York, and we're already meeting with the different teams at Fubo. So with respect to potential opportunities, look, we're disciplined, but we're also aggressive. And we were able to pick up two companies that we think are great. And you can tell by how quickly we're moving with deals with Major League Baseball and the NBA and Iowa and also getting in front of regulators. So very happy about that. However, we are always in market looking for potential acquisitions that we think will significantly improve our ability to deliver value to our customers and so we'll continue to do that.
