The baseball entertainment program 'Fire Baseball' is starting a replay service in a more relaxed environment.
Studio C1 recently announced through its YouTube community that "a new home for 'Fire Baseball' has been established," and opened an independent platform called 'Studio C1' where anyone can comfortably enjoy the program.
They added, "Although not all systems are perfectly set up yet, we hurriedly opened it with the hope that you can enjoy past episodes of 'Fire Baseball' comfortably as soon as possible," and stated, "We plan to update various features such as real-time chat, community, and donations over the next two months."
The newly opened 'Studio C1' platform can be accessed regardless of device or environment, and anyone can freely watch videos without logging in. A membership registration feature for commenting and reserving merchandise will also be added in the future.
Accordingly, 'Fire Baseball' will be premiered every Monday at 8 PM on its YouTube channel, and the broadcast will be available for replay on the official 'Studio C1' platform from 9 AM on the following Friday.
Viewers can binge-watch episodes 1 to 7 that were previously released, as well as a variety of unpublished content. As before, the YouTube channel will maintain a premiere format where viewers can enjoy the program simultaneously with real-time chat.
In response to the viewers' enthusiastic love, 'Fire Baseball' is expanding program accessibility and continuing various attempts. Notably, on the afternoon of the 22nd, a live match between the Fire Fighters and Inha University was broadcast live on SBS Plus, making it the first baseball entertainment program to do so.
The broadcast recorded a target rating (ages 20-49) of up to 1.2% and a household rating of up to 1.5%, with a peak viewership of 306,000 nationwide, proving the explosive interest of baseball fans.
Viewers who watched the live broadcast responded positively, saying, "It's more fun because it feels like a baseball broadcast," "Today was the best holiday," and "I'm glad there's a replay since I couldn't watch it live."
This attempt is particularly noteworthy as it breaks down the boundaries between entertainment and sports, expanding both the diversity of content distribution methods and viewer accessibility. With the addition of live TV broadcasting, it has confirmed a new possibility that "entertainment baseball can now be enjoyed like a real game." Expectations are high for what new paths 'Fire Baseball' will pave in the future.
Meanwhile, in episode 8 of the Studio C1 baseball entertainment program 'Fire Baseball', which will be released tonight (23rd) at 8 PM, the fighting spirit of the Fire Fighters trying to take the lead against Incheon High School will be depicted. You can check who will claim the glory of victory in the closely contested match between the Fire Fighters and Incheon High School through the official Studio C1 YouTube channel.
'Fire Baseball' premieres every Monday at 8 PM on the official Studio C1 YouTube channel and can be rewatched every Friday at 9 AM on the independent platform Studio C1.
