Hunter Thinks MPO and FPO Should be Separate Stream - Grip Locked Clips
Hunter discusses the potential benefits of having separate streams for Mixed Paratrooper (MPO) and Freefall Parachutist Open (FPO) competitions, arguing that the current format can lead to viewer frustration. He believes that by separating the streams, viewers will be able to focus on the specific discipline they're interested in, without being interrupted by other events. Hunter suggests that a separate stream for FPO would allow for more nuanced storytelling and provide valuable insights into FPO demographics and statistics. This approach could potentially attract new viewers and grow the FPO side of the competition, allowing fans to better understand their interests.

i think part of the issue and this is an issue with live coverage that we're going to see throughout the whole year because we saw this last year fpo and mpo need to be separate streams yeah it's too crowded period well they're trying to tell two different storylines and you as the viewer trying to watch two different story lines in one stream i understand what they're doing they're they're hedging their viewers yeah they're getting more viewers for fpo great idea but what they're missing out on is let's say that fpo teed off in the morning like they used to okay and the fbo lead card coverage started it 10 a.m whatever it is and there's 5 000 people watching it okay cool 5 000 people and then mpot's off at two and there's 11 000 people watching it okay then they're like well what if we just merged them and then there's 11 000 people watching fpo we just added 6 000 viewers but what they're missing is those 6 000 viewers a percentage of them will be like oh sick fpo coverage too i get to watch it another percentage of them is going to be like i'm here to watch mpo and now i'm getting interrupted by fpo coverage and they'll get annoyed by it and so i in my personal opinion that's all this is an opinion i think that by putting both of them together you're actually hurting fpo because i think that and it seems like it sometimes too because the way the fpot is off it's later in the mpo round and so mpo is coming down the stretch things are getting close whatever it is and then you have to cut back to fpo it almost seems like fpo is like a interruption or afterthought in that moment right whereas if they're on their own broadcast they're the star of the show yeah it might not be viewed as much but that's just by the people who want the view exactly and that just speaks to we need to grow the fpo side of us and i think you're gonna get shouldn't force someone to watch it yeah you're gonna get a way bigger idea of fpo demographics and statistics with viewership if you keep them separate too yeah and i think that it's just it's too confusing...
