The CBS News radio operations would have been toast no matter who was running CBS News.
SINNERS at Universal City was one of the hardest tickets to get last spring with iMax ultimately extending that run for one more week because of that demand. Obviously it won’t touch Sinners second weekend dropoff but bodes well for...

Project Hail Mary opened to $80M domestic and $141M worldwide, per Amazon. Net budget a little less than $200M. Looks like this could be its first global Hollywood-style blockbuster after a decade of making original movies…. https://t.co/FNpnEsqWCB
#Searchlight might regret moving R-rated horror sequel #ReadyOrNot2 up a week, as it debuts out of Top3 at US #BoxOffice under Indian sensation #Dhurandhar2! #ReadyOrNot2HereICome grossed 9.1M on 3-day Opening weekend, slightly #ReadyOrNot’s 8M 3-day weekend, but below the previous...
The stream rate would be the same. The main economic advantage of having a hit is that the band's fixed and overhead costs would be allocated over a greater number of streams, clawing some revenue back. Also when...
BOX OFFICE: #ProjectHailMary crushes w/ an $80M opening (domestic). That is: - The best ever March opening for a non-franchise movie - 2nd best ever opening for a non-franchise movie (behind OPPENHEIMER) - Best opening ever for Amazon/MGM - Best ever for Lord and...
From retooling the Sports Broadcasting Act to the migration of NFL games to streaming—a ton of sports media stories are winding their way through D.C. these days. Which is why I asked NAB president Curtis LeGeyt to join the pod...
YouTube creators can now upload thumbnails up to 50MB (up from 2MB), enabling higher-resolution images with less compression. 🎨 As the first impression of a video, higher-quality thumbnails can drive more clicks and improve overall performance. This is especially important for...
-Premium large format movie screens -COSM -Sphere Unclear how many of these things there’s a market for but the trend is screens/experiences you can’t get at home.
I’m showing my members how tracks need to be edited before pitching to music publishers for sync opportunities A lot of music producers skip this part because its boring...but it pays Want to get better at this? ↓
How much does a songwriter like me get paid for a stream? Well it depends. Varies month to month and service to service. But the short story is... Each month you take 15.35% of the streaming service adjusted gross...
Let’s make this VERY clear If you can’t understand going up against March Madness vs the week before isn’t a scheduling error than you are dumb af This film was going to succeed in this spot but LAST WEEKEND was the ideal...
🚨News Flash: @DIRECTV intervenes in the D.C. Circuit case in agreement with @NEWSMAX and several cable broadband associations seeking to reverse @FCC approval of the @NXSTMediaGroup-@TEGNA merger, which closed March 19. Can they really unscramble the egg? https://t.co/5CxQWIVDs9
Several state broadband associations -- plus @NEWSMAX -- today asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to block @NXSTMediaGroup-@TEGNA merger, which closed on March 19, 2026, the same day the $6.2 billion deal was approved by the...
Two thoughts on reporting from @theinformation that early ChatGPT ad campaigns lacked performance data: - this is to be expected. Any early offering will feature limited functionality. Early adopters should be prepared to fill measurement gaps themselves. - Measuring and credibly asserting...
Compositions are “nationalized” when it comes to streaming. The criminal part is likely because the composition royalties are actually paid by the US copyright office. So he defrauded US government.

I’m not trying to stop anyone’s bag if they’re getting it ethically. But also… creators… you have no reason to pay that much for coaching if you are just starting out. That rate is for seasoned creators already pulling in...
Reality TV “stars” aren’t getting rich early. Year 1 for new names: $0 guarantees. ~$2K–$5K per episode *only* if you make the final edit and *only* paid after it airs. Takes ~5–6 years to earn real money. No union leverage.
Sequel #ReadyOrNot2 is doing pretty well with paying auds tonight. B+ CinemaScore, same as first film. And RT aud score is at 88%. 3-day opening wknd #boxoffice shd come close to the $11M 5-day launch of 2019 pic. https://t.co/yIqOqEboRp
“Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Taylor Frankie Paul was supposed to return an aging “Bachelorette” franchise to glory. That decision blew up on ABC and cost it tens of millions of dollars. W/@wongalum https://t.co/DilR3zuVRQ
"Telling your entertainment news program that they’re gone the weekend before the Oscars is very weird," one insider told Status Hollywood correspondent Brian Lowry. Lowry details what the cancellation of "Access Hollywood" says about the state of linear television—and why Trump’s...
This could be the least credible thing @AGomezFCC has ever said in public office, but I’ll defer to the experts: “Despite hundreds of billions in free cash flow, Nexstar recently made numerous cuts to its newsrooms nationwide.” If @NXSTMediaGroup CEO...

The irony of the $PSKY CBS news cuts are that news does not drive retrans and should be sold or shuttered entirely to help fund NFL costs CBS already shuttered late night, news should be next to go - makes you...
I’m obviously not unbiased here, but good on Disney to bring on Sara/CNBC talent to The View. Helps to expand all of our worlds.
Making the hard, unpopular decisions that MUST be made 👏👏 @bariweiss $PSKY Paying for the NFL means a lot of existing money losing programming needs to be shuttered
I'll have more on the CBS News cuts in tonight's email, but for now... the cuts are affecting a number of correspondents (will give them time to announce the news themselves) and hitting the Washington, D.C., bureau especially hard.
Netflix is paying up to $600M for an AI film startup founded by Ben Affleck. The tool edits footage after a director shoots, and David Fincher already used it on a Brad Pitt film. Studios want lower costs and tighter control, while...

IMO: Highly leveraged @NXSTMediaGroup could be buying a melting ice cube that can’t withstand fierce competitive Big Tech vectors that result in diminished ad and retransmission consent revenue fueled by rampant cord cutting. If things like the 39% cap get...
