1:02:35Next question comes in from New York City. Brody Hefner says, NAB New York City reported that more than 60% of those registered were first-time attendees. Is it becoming the National Association of Streamers rather than broadcasters? Corny. In a short word, yes. You know, originally it was limited. National Association of Broadcasters was limited to people with broadcasting licenses or networks of broadcasters. So nowadays they accommodate the streamers, which are becoming a larger portion of the consuming audience that is distributed over the Internet.

1:03:10So, yeah, it is. And they're finding out a lot of the local broadcasters are shutting down and going to streaming. All right. Last question. All right. Last question comes in from Jerry Hoyle in Wesley Chapel, North Carolina. Alex, how was Ronnie's app on your podcast last Sunday? Anything new to report? Yeah. So for those that don't know, we talked about it last Sunday, I believe, when Ronnie demoed.
