For a company with little interest in major sports rights, Netflix sure talks a lot about sports – enough that we’re starting to wonder if its tip-toeing through the sports tulips will at some point become a prance that accelerates into a full-fledged sprint. We’re not there yet, of course. But while Netflix’s relatively error-free …
Remember the Apple Vision Pro that everyone was talking about when it launched back in February? Think really hard. Of course, while Apple’s $3,500 AR/VR headset – which the company likes to call a “spatial computing device” – isn’t exactly weighing down Santa’s sleigh this year, it hasn’t exactly bombed considering that Apple only expected …
Not to sound like a broken record, but we’ve been arguing for a while that shoppable ad tech will drive significant innovation – and revenue – over the next few years. But that doesn’t mean that consumers will immediately change their behavior and commonly “interact” with ads. Such shifts take time. It’s clear, however, that …

No one on the distribution or content side of the industry wants piracy. It’s a bad look, and it hurts the entire value chain that depends on consumers paying for what they watch (or at least watching ads). That’s why this week’s announcement by the Motion Picture Association’s enforcement group, the Alliance for Creativity and …
The cable and satellite cash machine that once dominated the media landscape thrived on one principle: Bundling. Fast forward to today, and the bundle is back. But it’s a new, different model that remains in flux as competitors figure out how to organize what used to be a simple “expanded basic” package centered around one …
The deal terms (but far from closure) of the $8 billion Paramount Global-Skydance Media merger finally got signatures this week, ending a long and somewhat arduous negotiation that had more ups and downs than a theme-park rollercoaster.
