Reply to comment by adamsandleryabish in NBC’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Scores Its Most Viewers in 5 Years With Streams on Peacock (27.7M Viewers) by MarvelsGrantMan136
The parade takes place on public streets, anyone can stream it. Youtube was full of exactly what you’re describing yesterday.

The problem with YouTube Streamers is they have very poor audio quality. There's a lot of music with the Parade that just doesn't come through without professional equipment.
Also, NBC has exclusive streaming rights so I've watched feeds where the cameraman was interrupted by Parade employees and forced to stop. Also the videos get removed from YouTube for copyright infringement.

NBC does not own exclusive rights to stream an event that occurs on public streets. Americans have a constitutional right to film things in plain view of public spaces. Anyone on public sidewalks along along the route can film and stream it to their heart’s content. The only thing NBC can control is filming occurring in their private ticketed stage area at the ending point.

Yeah but they're not talking about who has the right to do what, they're talking about who has the access and equipment to film streams with good quality audio.
