Reports Says McDonald’s is Working on First-ever Food Loyalty Program
The New York Post reports that McDonald’s is quietly gearing up to test a food loyalty program to boost pandemic sales.

Sling TV Launches Co-watching Feature for live TV, Sling Watch Party
Live TV streaming service Sling TV is joining in on the co-watching trend with the launch of its own version of a co-viewing feature, which allows friends and family in different locations to watch live TV together at the same time. What makes Sling TV’s implementation unique, however, is that it’s allowing for both text and video chat alongside live TV, which is a first for the live TV industry, it says.

The feature, called Sling Watch Party, is initially available to existing Sling TV customers. But during the beta preview period, the company says guests will also be able to join a Watch Party by creating a free Sling TV account. However, this free access will only be available through Sept. 30.
