At a glance
- Filip Hrgović’s biggest career fight aired on DAZN rather than any domestic Croatian television channel because the streaming platform held the broadcast rights.
- RTL reporter Tea Mihanović continued with a live report after a wasp stung her in the neck shortly before broadcast.
- Netflix presented an extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI, featuring Jason, Lucia, Vice City and Leonida.
Filip Hrgović’s biggest career fight could not be watched on any Croatian television channel because DAZN held the broadcast rights. The global sports streaming platform has become an increasingly important player in boxing, prompting complaints from viewers who missed the event.
The television criticism also looks beyond scheduled programming to the moments viewers rarely see. RTL reporter Tea Mihanović was preparing to report on roadworks at the intersection of Selska and Slavonska avenues in Zagreb when a wasp stung her in the neck.
Cameras captured the incident, including the moment her cameraman asked whether she could still go live. After briefly acknowledging how much the sting hurt, Mihanović replied, "I will." Moments later, she appeared on RTL Danas and delivered the report professionally, without revealing to viewers what had just happened. She later posted the footage herself, winning praise from viewers and showing the pressure behind a live television appearance.
The review gives its strongest rating to Netflix’s extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI. Thirteen years after Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar Games showed more of the highly anticipated sequel, including its criminal couple, Jason and Lucia, and the fictional settings of Vice City and Leonida. The presentation also highlighted the game’s story, character interaction, action and gameplay, which the review says have so far exceeded expectations.
I will.
