This week, some subscription business has continued as normal, while others has been a reaction to the coronavirus outbreak. In the business-as-usual category, Tesla is offering two months of free solar power with a subscription, Lee Enterprises completed its acquisition of BH Media Group, and Bango launches carrier billing services on 5G games streaming platform. In reaction to the pandemic, Sky Sports is allowing customers to pause their subscriptions, Peloton is offering a free 90-day subscription trial for at-home workouts, and Seattle’s The Stranger alt-newsweekly is laying off 18 staffers.
