Chick-fil-A unveils its new streaming service which will be packed with original content that is family-friendly. This is a unique pivot for the QSR brand as video streaming is an unconventional branch. The service will feature a wide range of wholesome programs including game shows, unscripted shoes, and much more.
This is meant to fall in alignment with the brand's family-centric values. It has been noted that it will be working in conjunction with major production companies in order to create and license content. Budgets will reach up to $400,000 USD for each half-hour episode. An example of one of the offerings the chain has planned is a game show from Glassman Media. It also has the approval of a new series with 10 episodes from Sugar23.
