Episode 182: Latest Paramount/WBD News; Encoding for the iPhone Duo Screen; NFL News from Disney, Netflix, NBC; AI Won't Replace People

Monday, September 21, 2026 • Duration 48:09

This week, I cover the latest in the Paramount/WBD merger, with rumors that Paramount and 12 state attorneys general could reach a deal in the next few days. In other Paramount news, Comcast and Paramount, which owns SkyShowtime, are reviewing strategic options for the business, including shutting down the service.

I also question whether content owners will re-encode their video libraries to take advantage of the new iPhone Duo's square-like aspect ratio and resolution similar to QHD tablet screens, which isn't HD or 4K, but rather 2K+. I cover the latest infrastructure news from Oracle, including a new round of layoffs, its Q1 FY2027 earnings, and its $30 billion in additional AI cloud deals it closed in Q1.

I cover the latest NFL news and viewership numbers for games across Netflix and NBC/Peacock, and explain why NFL viewership is no longer comparable year over year, since methodologies and definitions vary so much, with NBC Sports already altering how it measures and reports its NFL viewership for the 2026/2027 season. Finally, I cover what happens when brands use AI to try to make an experience faster, more efficient and easier to scale without understanding what customers actually value, using the news that McDonald's will put a renewed focus on the human side of the experience, with plans to retrain more than 2 million workers on hospitality.

Episode 181: The Messy RSN Market; Latest Content News from NHL, Prime, Disney, DAZN, Telemundo, WBD and Sony; Jio Platforms to IPO

Wednesday, September 16, 2026 • Duration 33:36

This week, I cover the messy RSN business, which is only getting worse for NHL fans as six NHL teams will stream on Prime Video for in-market fans, but not all will be free. I also cover Netflix's price increase in the UK, its tenth since the service launched in 2014. I also talk about how, after price increases from Apple, Roku, and Amazon on streaming devices, the Google TV Streamer has risen from $99.99 to $149.99. On the content side, I detail new deals, with DAZN securing the rights to broadcast Spain’s top-tier football tournament, LaLiga EA Sports, across Sub-Saharan Africa for the next three seasons, and Warner Bros. Discovery launching HBO Max in Japan through deals for distribution on Nippon TV-owned Hulu Japan and Amazon Prime Video in Japan. Also, NBCU Telemundo secured the exclusive U.S. Spanish-language rights to the Serie A Championship, Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana, locking down the football market. In addition, Sony launched more than 100 live FAST TV channels on the PS5 in the U.S., but none of the content is exclusive, and Disney has added to its content deal with Groupe M6, bringing "several hundred" episodes of four shows from the French broadcaster to the service. Finally, I cover Jio Platforms, Reliance Industries' digital platform, having received approval from market regulator SEBI to float India’s largest-ever IPO, aiming to raise about $4 billion.
