Quibi is launching its mobile-only streaming platform in the middle of a pandemic.

But are viewers willing to harness another subscription service as jobs evaporate and a recession looms amid COVID-19?

My look at Quibi& #39;s pitch and 90-day free trial: https://bit.ly/2UDRSsH ">https://bit.ly/2UDRSsH&q...

The mobile-only streaming platform founded by Jeffrey Katzenberg is now available with a free 90-day trial, packed with short series and films told in "chapters."

Here& #39;s my take on the service and the hurdles it faces: https://bit.ly/2UDRSsH ">https://bit.ly/2UDRSsH&q...
I can’t show you what CTV News Day looks like in portrait mode, but suffice to say that news footage shot for 16:9 doesn’t look great when you zoom in on it.
I grew up in Canada so the nostalgia of a "Singled Out" update doesn& #39;t resonate with me because the show didn& #39;t air here.

But I like the new hosts, and it moves fast, so this seems to fit into the the time-filler entertainment category #Quibi https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> wants to be.
"Memory Hole," hosted by Will Arnett, is another #Quibi https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> standout where he plunges into weird pop culture moments with punchy commentary.

Season one digs up some incredibly strange stuff, including the opening ceremonies of the SkyDome, an evening filled of musical numbers.
