Meaning of STAY TUNED - A Really Short English Lesson with Subtitles

So in English when we say to someone, "Stay tuned!" ,

what we're saying is that we want them to keep watching,

or keep listening

for more information about something

that's going to happen.

We used to hear this phrase a lot on television

and on the radio.

Announcers on the radio would say, stayed tuned folks

because coming up next is a new song

from some really cool band,

and then they would have a commercial

and then they would play the new song,

but the phrase, "Stay tuned!",

also works in our current modern world.

In YouTube videos people will say,

there's an upcoming live stream so stay tuned

for more information.

They don't mean that you actually have to tune in to YouTube

like you tune in to a radio station

but if someone says, "Stay tuned.",

it means that more information is coming

and if you pay attention you will hear about it,

so stay tuned.

We have another phrase, a phrasal verb, to tune out.

This is a little bit different.

When I am talking in my videos,

if you start to think about other things,

if you start to get bored,

we would say that you are starting to tune out.

When you tune out it means that you stop paying attention

to someone who is speaking to you,

or stop paying attention

to a video or a TV show that you are watching,

and you start to think about other things.

So I hope that while you are watching my videos,

you don't tune out.

I hope that you stay tuned in,

which is paying attention.

Anyways, Bob the Canadian here,

and you're learning English with me,

I hope you're having a good day.
