Discovery are expected to bid again, but new players like Amazon 69 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:41,560 and NBC are also in the mix, driven by their strategic interests in expanding live sports 70 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:42,840 offerings. 71 00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:49,040 Additionally, streaming giants like Netflix and Apple are eyed as potential bidders, especially 72 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,480 given their interest in global sports content rights. 73 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:59,240 This intense competition underscores the NBA's robust appeal and its strategic position at 74 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:04,640 the intersection of sports and media innovation. 75 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:12,640 Last night in local sports, the Padres at home beat the Blue Jays 6-3. 76 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:20,400 In round one of the NBA playoffs, the Clippers at home beat the Mavericks 1-0-9-97. 77 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:26,760 Tonight the Padres are on the road in Colorado to take on the Rockies. 78 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,840 The Lakers are on the road in Denver to play the Nuggets. 79 00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:35,480 And in the National Hockey playoffs, the Kings are on the road in Edmonton to take 80 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,480 on the Oilers. 81 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:45,440 In top news, the U.S. House of Representatives has passed a revised bill that could lead 82 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:51,920 to a TikTok ban incorporating measures such as foreign aid to garner bipartisan Senate 83 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,680 support. 84 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:59,320 This new version extends the bite dance deadline to sell TikTok from six to nine months, with 85 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:05,200 a possible 90-day extension by the president, effectively giving up to a year before a ban 86 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,480 might be enforced. 87 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,480 The bill, supported by a strong majority in the House, is poised for quick Senate approval 88 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,640 and President Biden's signature. 89 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:21,000 Amidst concerns over data privacy and national security, the bill aligns with bipartisan 90 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:27,360 efforts to regulate or limit foreign-controlled digital platforms. 91 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:34,120 In business news, the recent launch of the Rooms Protocol by Casey Roe Dahmer alongside 92 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:40,360 Bitcoin's scheduled halving event has unexpectedly boosted transaction fees on the blockchain 93 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,080 to record highs, benefiting miners significantly. 94 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:50,240 Contrary to expectations that the halving would decrease miner revenues, by cutting 95 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:57,740 block rewards by 50 percent, the introduction of Rooms caused a surge in network activity. 96 00:07:57,740 --> 00:08:04,480 This increased demand led to a spike in transaction fees, which hit an average of $128 on the 97 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:09,120 day of the launch, significantly padding miners' earnings. 98 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:14,920 This incident underscores the dynamic and unpredictable nature of cryptocurrency economics 99 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:20,880 and highlights the potential for new technologies to dramatically impact the market. 100 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,800 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is $65,000. 101 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,480 Ethereum is just over $3,100. 102 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,960 And Solana is $148. 103 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,640 Moving on to a more local vibe. 104 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:44,600 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 105 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,920 to bring you some free

talk health and science. 115 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:34,800 Artificial intelligence has led to a groundbreaking discovery in prostate cancer research. 116 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:41,440 Scientists, including teams from the universities of Oxford, Manchester, and East Anglia, utilized 117 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:48,060 AI to analyze DNA from 159 prostate cancer patients. 118 00:09:48,060 --> 00:09:54,680 This advanced analysis revealed not one, but two distinct types of prostate cancer. 119 00:09:54,680 --> 00:10:00,500 This finding, supported by Cancer Research UK and published in Cell Genomics, is significant 120 00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:05,960 as it marks the first use of AI to distinguish cancer types in this manner. 121 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:11,440 By identifying different disease pathways, this technology paves the way for more personalized 122 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,760 and potentially less invasive treatment options. 123 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,320 Moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach to cancer treatment. 124 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:24,520 And in entertainment news. 125 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:31,080 This weekend at the box office, a tight race unfolds among Universal's Abigail, Lionsgate's 126 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:36,800 The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, and A24's Civil War. 127 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:44,080 Opening day saw Abigail leading with $4 million, slightly edging out its competitors. 128 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:50,200 Civil War, in its second week, and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare are not far behind, 129 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,520 both showing potential for solid weekend performances. 130 00:10:54,520 --> 00:11:00,760 Despite varied expectations, each film appeals to distinct audiences, from vampire thriller 131 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:07,940 enthusiasts and action comedy fans to those drawn to dystopian narratives. 132 00:11:07,940 --> 00:11:13,920 This diversity in genre highlights the dynamic nature of current cinema offerings, underscoring 133 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,320 a vibrant weekend for moviegoers. 134 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:22,160 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 135 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:28,720 And today, in honor of Earth Day, our quote comes from biologist and British broadcaster, 136 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,000 David Attenborough. 137 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,040 And the great narrator said, 138 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:46,800 But consider these facts, 96% of the mass of mammals on our planet today are us, and 139 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,320 the livestock that we've domesticated. 140 00:11:50,320 --> 00:12:00,040 Only 4% is everything else, from elephants to badgers, tigers to bats. 141 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:11,200 70% of all birds are now domesticated poultry, mostly chickens. 142 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,480 Nature once determined how we survive. 143 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:21,720 Now we determine how nature survives. 144 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,320 And that's a wrap for this morning. 145 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:30,640 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos, 146 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,880 with local news and the surf reports. 147 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,800 Have an amazing day, my good friends. 148 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:55,800 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
