Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb launching a streaming network

PHOENIX (AP) An Arizona sheriff is launching his own streaming network featuring sheriff’s departments from across the country.
Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb said this is a passion project aimed to showcase law enforcement in the best way.
“I’ve got a few partners on it and obviously because of conflict of interest, this is not something I will be doing through the sheriff’s office,” Lamb told Phoenix TV station KPHO. “No taxpayer dollars are being used for this and I have to carve out my personal time for this. Whatever family time we did have is pretty much gone now.”

Password sharing is estimated to cost streaming services several billion dollars a year in lost revenue. That’s a small problem now for an industry that earns about $120 billion annually, but something it needs to address as spending on distinctive new programing skyrockets. Amazon’s upcoming “Lord of the Rings” series will reportedly cost $450 million for its first season alone - more than four times the cost of a season of HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”
