Let’s Quarantine & Chill with Philo

It’s no secret that we have been watching a lot more television lately thanks to Corona. Recently, I was looking for a new way to watch as I felt like I had seen all I could seen on the streaming platforms I already have. Truth be told, I wanted something that gave me Live and Streaming but was within reason. #FeelMe

In doing my research I realized I wasn’t alone in my television viewing spike. According to Nielsen, over the first three weeks of March 2020 the total estimated number of minutes streamed to the TV was 400 billion, up 85% compared with the comparable three-week period in 2019. I ended up going with Philo and I am super happy I did.

Lemme fill you in! In order to better serve its customers, Philo, the entertainment-focused streaming service with 50+ channels available for $20, has launched five curated playlists to help their subscribers find the content they love and enjoy:

• Comfort Food
• Home Improvement
• Kids
• Nature & Science
• Reality Round-Up

Now listen, don’t judge me, but you know I was sold at comfort food. LoL!

Philo’s curated Kids list is sure to make parents and children smile. With popular shows likes Peppa Pig, Paw Patrol, Spongebob Squarepants, and Dora the Explorer, there’s always something age-appropriate, educational and fun to turn on for the younger members of the household. With shows like Doug, All That, and Full House also available on Philo, Millennial parents can bond with their children by sharing the shows they grew up watching.

For those interested in making their own kitchen masterpiece, check out our Comfort Food playlist. Friendly faces like Guy Fieri, Bobby Flay, Giada de Laurentis, and Chopped host Ted Allen are all available at the click of a button.

For an educational moment, tune in to the Nature & Science channel. Forget the confines of your living room and explore the unknown with shows like Unearthered, Planet Earth: Life, Nature’s Deadliest and Man Vs. Wild. The adventure is there for the taking, just by signing into your Philo account.

If you’re craving social interactions, why not tune in to the “real” world by checking out Philo’s Reality Round-up? Shows like Love Goals, Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta, Growing Up Hip Hop, 90 Day Fiance:Before The 90 Days, and the return of Ru Paul’s Drag Race will provide hours of binge-able content with all the drama to boot!

Lastly, for those who crave a “before” and “after” the home improvement channel is there for you.  With a list of top home shows like Fixer Up, Treehouse Masters, Flip or Flop, and Extreme Make Over Home Edition, you’re sure to find your perfect home renovation show!

I’m bout to log on now and watch the Saving Our Selves on BET, where proceeds will benefit the United Way. Hosted by Anthony Anderson, Kelly Rowland, Terrence J, and Regina Hall, Saving Our Selves will feature appearances and performances from Chance The Rapper, DJ Khaled, Idris Elba, Fantasia and More Tonight at 8pm/7c. And, yes, I plan to watch the entire concert on Philo!
