MYBUNDLE DATA SHOWS BUNDLING STREAMING CREDITS WITH BROADBAND REDUCES STREAMING SERVICE CHURN BY UP TO 50%

MyBundle

MyBundle, the premier online platform connecting consumers, streaming services and broadband providers, today released company research data indicating that bundling streaming credits with broadband service reduces the first-year monthly churn rate for SVOD streaming services by up to 50% when compared to leading industry research firm Antenna’s reported industry average monthly rate of 8.6%.* For the analysis, MyBundle examined streaming service purchase data from approximately 300 subscribers to Norvado’s 1 Gig fiber PickME Plan Internet broadband service, which includes $20 in monthly streaming credits bundled using MyBundle's innovative Streaming Choice program. After 12 months, the monthly churn rate of streaming services was approximately 4.3% using the same methodology as Antenna’s “State of Subscriptions – Premium SVOD” study from February 2024. Both studies used a weighted average of monthly churn consumers in year one of their respective subscriptions. “The concept of bundling content and connectivity is nothing new to the broader business of media and entertainment, however with this yearlong MyBundle research we now have strong empirical data that bundling streaming purchases with broadband works,” said MyBundle Co-Founder and CEO, Jason Cohen. “New customer acquisition is still important for streaming services, but reducing churn is now a close second priority. It’s still early days for MyBundle’s Streaming Choice, but while the benefit to broadband providers is noteworthy, a potential 50% reduction in streaming service monthly churn is remarkable - a possible game-changer for streaming services.” 21 of MyBundle’s nearly 230 broadband partners are already offering Streaming Choice. Constructed first in 2022 with a flexible approach for its growing broadband partner network, MyBundle’s Streaming Choice program is designed to meet the varied needs and goals of ISP partners, while maximizing consumer satisfaction. Streaming Choice campaigns deployed by MyBundle’s broadband partners are all bundled with an Internet tier offer and include: a) one-time or monthly recurring streaming credits, b) preselected streaming service(s) for a fixed period of time, or c) consumers selecting the streaming service(s) of their choice for a fixed period of time MyBundle offers an integrated billing platform and co-branded streaming video tools and services for broadband and multichannel video providers. Sitting at the cross-section of consumers looking to explore and optimize their streaming service subscriptions, broadband providers looking to deliver choice to current and prospective customers and streaming services looking for efficient ways to reach and retain new customers, MyBundle reduces friction and increases satisfaction for the ever-growing and dynamic streaming video ecosystem. About MyBundle MyBundle is the industry-leading consumer and enterprise platform simplifying streaming TV. MyBundle’s free and easy-to-use tools help consumers discover and manage their streaming service subscriptions, watch free live TV, and find content to watch across their services.

Kangamoon

Join Our Telegram Community: https://t.me/KangaMoonofficial Over $1 billion worth of U.S. Treasury notes have now been tokenized on top of public blockchains. These are digital representations of bonds which can be traded as tokens on the blockchain, and as a result, interest in crypto investments has spiked. Out of the many cryptocurrencies available for trading, three have stood out the most, including Aptos (APT), Litecoin (LTC) and KangaMoon ( KANG ). To see which is the best crypto to invest in now, we will go over their on-chart data individually. Aptos (APT) Grows 30% and Can Surge Above $26 Soon Aptos (APT) has been a notable network which has reached significant growth during the past year, and this is evidenced from the year-to-date (YTD) climb of its native token by 25%. In the previous month alone, the Aptos price is up 30%, and at this rate could reach far more substantial gains. During the previous week, the Aptos crypto moved up in value from $15.12 to a maximum value at $19.23, putting it nearer than before towards passing the $20 price range. If it does so, it can reach new heights, and according to the Aptos price prediction, by Q4, 2024, it can reach $26.37. Litecoin (LTC) Breaks Above $100 – How Far Can It Move by Q4, 2024? Litecoin (LTC) is also showcasing signs of growth on the charts after a prolonged period of price-correction, as it's in the green zone across the 7-day, 14-day, 30-day and 1-year chart. Specifically, within the past two weeks, the Litecoin price spiked 25%. In addition, throughout the past week, the Litecoin crypto saw a major upswing from $88.40 to $110.85, and by passing the $100 price barrier, is now positioned to experience far more substantial gains. According to the Litecoin price prediction, it can end 2024 at $163.30. KangaMoon (KANG) Fuses Social-Fi Elements and Play-to-Earn (P2E) and Can Spike 80x KangaMoon (KANG) is a revolutionary platform that combines a community-driven approach with Social-Fi elements and Play-to-Earn (P2E) features to enable anyone the opportunity to get rewarded by interacting with the ecosystem.

These come in the form of KANG tokens or rare non-fungible tokens (NFTs) which can later-on get sold on the dedicated marketplace. The presale has already raised over $4 million, and can raise $5.5 million by the end of April. In the meantime, the KANG token also spiked 290%, and at this rate is bound to reach far more substantial gains. According to the KangaMoon price prediction by analysts, it can spike by 80x following its launch and major exchange listing, making KANG the best crypto to invest in now. Summary With such a major level of appeal and attention going towards the crypto industry, its clear why Aptos and Litecoin initially gained a lot of momentum. But now, KangaMoon can pass them in terms of growth, as it is a presale-stage project with massive ROI potential for early investors who jump into it.

Kangamoon

KangaMoon (KANG) has stood out as a contender in the ever-changing meme coin market. It recently hit the $4M level in its ongoing presale, so it’s no surprise that people are interested in it. Some experts hint that KANG may become the next 100x meme coin in 2024. Thus, KANG could surge faster and higher than Pepe (PEPE) and Bonk (BONK). KangaMoon (KANG): Could Join the Meme Coin Titans Soon Unlike 99% of meme coins, KangaMoon (KANG) stands out as it brings something new - utility. In other words, you can use KANG as an in-game currency for KangaMoon’s upcoming Play-to-Earn (P2E) game. With this meme coin, you can buy in-game items or upgrade your characters. Another distinction between KangaMoon and its peers is its community-driven focus. Active community members are rewarded with free KANG before the official launch. This factor has already resulted in over 20,000 registered members who engage with this meme coin’s social media content. KangaMoon is currently in the last Stage of its presale, costing just $0.0196. This marks an increase of 291% from its initial offering ($0.005). Furthermore, the meme coin has already raised over $4,090,871.039 with projections of reaching $5M before April 2024 ends. Market analysts predict a 100x price surge for KANG by Q2 2024 when a Tier-1 CEX lists it. According to Yahoo Finance, the P2E gaming market is expected to grow to $885M by 2028. With KangaMoon bridging the gap between crypto and gaming, early buyers could be set for significant returns even if they only snag a small chunk of that market share.

According to CoinMarketCap data, the Pepe price surged from $0.0000039 to $0.0000078 in the last 30 days. Its market cap increased from $1.66B to $3.31B during that time. From a technical analysis perspective, the future of this meme coin appears bright. Notably, the Pepe coin now trades above its 21-day EMA while also boasting 23 technical indicators in the green. Therefore, a bullish Pepe price prediction was made by crypto analysts. They forecast a jump to $0.000012 for Pepe within Q2 of 2024. Bonk (BONK): Showing Minimal Gains Meanwhile, Bonk (BONK) has been experiencing a slight rise. Over the past month, the Bonk price grew from $0.000023 to $0.000025. This meme coin’s market cap also jumped from $1.51B to $1.65B. The technical analysis for this meme coin also shows a bullish picture. For example, the Bonk crypto is now trading above its 21-day EMA. Moreover, around 20 technical indicators are in the buy zone for Bonk. Due to all these reasons, prominent market analysts foresee a surge to $0.000044 before Q2 of 2024 ends in their Bonk price predictions. Why Are Traders Focusing on KangaMoon Over Pepe and Bonk? Kangamoon’s $14M market cap has been generating much buzz recently. Traders are passing up on meme coins like Bonk and Pepe because they believe KANG has the potential to grow while requiring fewer new funds.

The most gifted athletes from Parkour and Ninja Warriors, as well as the top Hollywood stuntmen and women, will be participating in this global event. Teams from 10 countries – United States, China, Japan, Brazil, France, UK, Morocco, Sweden, Switzerland, and Israel – have earned their place to take part in WCT6. There will also be a Women’s World Championship with six teams. “This event is the premier event in our league’s history, and a true tribute to the men and women who will compete on this world and global stage in France,” said Cary Glotzer, Tupelo Honey CEO and President of WCT. "WCT will deliver over 150 million impressions between our digital, linear tv and social channels from this three-day competition as evidenced by our last few events." This year’s competition will be the first event held at Les Arènes, a recently-completed state-of-the-art facility to hold events like World Chase Tag, as well as Esport competitions and concerts. WCT has closed a three-year venue partnership deal with Evry-Courcouronnes and Grand Paris Sud to have at least one major WCT event at the venue every year. Influencers, celebrities and local city officials are expected to fill the arena for WCT6. Tickets are currently on sale through Ticketmaster. Viewers can watch more than 15 hours of live coverage during the three-day event on streaming platforms, including FuboTV, CaffeineTV, Kick.com and World Chase Tag’s YouTube, TikTok, Facebook and Twitch channels. After the event, World Chase Tag will broadcast 10 hours of programming into its National U.S. Syndication, reaching 92% of American households and international distribution weekly. ESPN and NBC Sports have partnered with WCT in the past and broadcasted more than 40 hours of event programming. "Since being created by our founders Christian and Damien Devaux, World Chase Tag has truly exploded into a worldwide sport phenomenon organically through its massive social following and its television distribution worldwide," said Johnny McMahon, GM and Chief Content Officer for World Chase Tag. "France is a perfect setting for this championship since the foundation of Parkour started in Evry-Courcouronnes." WCT has also aligned with Aphetor Games, who will be partnering with WCT during the event, bringing in 10 influencers to participate in tag competitions revolving around the World Championship Event. This is expected to reach an additional 15 million fans. World Chase Tag® (WCT) combines the dynamic athleticism of Parkour with the age-old game of Tag. Invented by brothers Christian and Damien Devaux in the U.K., the competition began in 2016 and has quickly built a cult following worldwide, securing over one billion online views. World Chase Tag is the ultimate test of 1-on-1 pursuit, fought out on an unforgiving arena of steel and wood, between athletes displaying extraordinary speed and agility as they juke, leap, and lunge to make a point-saving tag. Teams from across the globe (featuring world parkour athletes, Hollywood stuntmen, and Ninja Warrior finalists) compete in multiple matches culminating in an extraordinary battle to take home the championship trophy. WCT has amassed a global following with over 5 million followers across their social media platforms, including over 150 WCT-related videos with over 1 million views. Tupelo Honey, a division of Tupelo Media Group, an Emmy award-winning production company, and its parent company, Gray Television, are investors in World Chase Tag®.
