In the wake of the devastating fires that continue to rage in the Los Angeles area, dozens of the music industry’s biggest names, including Billie Eilish, No Doubt, Green Day, Olivia Rodrigo, Katy Perry, and Alanis Morissette, have banded together in support with FireAid, two huge benefit concerts happening simultaneously on Thursday, January 30th at two LA venues. But if you can’t be there in person, the concerts will be available to watch on various streaming services, and we’ve got all the details for you below.

What is FireAid?

Focused on helping to rebuild the communities affected by the wildfires that have spanned 45 square miles of densely-populated LA County and that have, so far, killed 28 people, FireAid’s proceeds will go towards “short-term relief efforts and long-term initiatives to prevent future fire disasters,” a rpress release stated.

Legacy cable company invents $180-a-year streaming bundle

If you're a customer of Comcast's Xfinity internet or TV business, you now have a new bundle of streaming apps available at a discount. For $15 a month, Xfinity StreamSaver (because you can't sell something that already exists without giving it a funny name, apparently) brings together Netflix, Peacock, and Apple TV+. It'll all be available through Comcast's hardware, of course, but also on other platforms.

On their own, the three services would cost a minimum of $23 a month. That's $7 for Netflix with ads at 1080p resolution, $6 for Peacock Premium with ads, and $10 for Apple TV+. And as it turns out, that's the same level of service you'll get with StreamSaver, saving you about $96 a year. And if you want to get rid of ads or get 4K resolution on Netflix, you can pay the difference for that higher service tier.

And one that I keep coming back to a lot recently? The late James Gammon’s manager Lou Brown, naked and in search of hot water in the locker room: “I’ve had it with this nickel-and-dime stuff.”
