Netflix postponed the live event 'Skyscraper Live.' The event features climber Alex Honnold's rope-free ascent of the 1,667ft Taipei 101 tower. The stream, originally scheduled for January 24th local time, was pushed back 24 hours. Netflix cited rain as the cause, prioritizing safety.
The broadcast is key to Netflix's expanding push into live programming and sports-adjacent spectacles. This strategy aims to attract millions of viewers. The high-risk climb is Honnold's first skyscraper attempt and generated significant media attention. The delay marks a setback for the platform’s latest major live production.
