CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of manipulation, murder, insurance fraud, jealousy, death. Our director series continues this week with a film steeped in Hollywood lore while being utterly disdainful of its treatment of actors. It's a near masterpiece, but as we talk through it, it's Billy Wilder's directing that shines a bit more than his writing. Still, even the last 5 minutes of this film are enough to etch it as an instant classic, and the first two hours are pretty great as well. Equal parts dark comedy, thriller, and anti-romance, this movie defies description and style at numerous turns, and garnered 11 Oscar nominations in a year that is one of the best movies have ever seen. Open the gates for an undeniable star as we continue our Billy Wilder series with 1950's Sunset Blvd., this week on Macintosh & Maud Haven't Seen What?!

Strauss Zelnick is the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. In addition, he recently served as Interim Chairman of The CBS Corp. Board of Directors. Quitting a role as a film studio president in order to launch a video game company 25 years was a major risk, but this relatively new genre of entertainment showed signs similar to motion pictures in the 1920s. On top of the meteoric rise in video games and interactive entertainment of the last couple decades, the pandemic has accelerated its growth and adoption as people spend more time at home. The technological developments of video games have made human interaction central to its experience, offering a social element for many who wouldn't have it during a stay-at-home period. “We like to consume entertainment with other people; we like to participate with other people; we like to watch with other people.” Esports represents a new frontier in the video game space with over 250 million viewers. It even serves as the primary entertainment for 125 million. The industry will continue to grow and likely evolve into an ecosystem similar to the professional sports leagues. ————————————————————————— To learn more about this episode, including podcast transcripts and show notes, visit *salt.org/talks* ( http://salt.org/talks ) Moderated by Anthony Scaramucci.

http://tvotshow.com/televisionation - ITVT/TVOT is pleased to present a new episode of “Televisionation,” our video/audio podcast exploring the advanced/interactive-TV industry in the Coronavirus/Covid-19 Era and beyond. This episode features Radha Subramanyam, Chief Research and Analytics Officer at CBS Corp. and President of CBS Vision. Among other things, she describes her role at CBS, explains why content franchises are so important to the network, discusses new viewing behaviors that have emerged during the Covid-19 pandemic, shares her thoughts on the opportunities presented by local television, outlines the difficulties and complexities that are still involved in measuring cross-platform TV viewing, and updates us on the work she and her team are doing to help realize the potential of addressable TV.

In the mid-1990s, when Jeff Epstein was busy satisfying the M&A appetites of media clients for First Boston, one of his smaller, but more boisterous clients asked him to join the firm as its CFO.   “It was the type of situation where if they had gone to a recruiter, I would never have made the resume cut because I had never been a CFO and I had never even worked for a CFO,” explains Epstein, who was 32 when he entered the lively entrepreneurial realm known as King World Productions. A one-time family-owned company, King World had seen its stature grow inside New York’s competitive media landscape as the firm began producing  giant hit TV shows such as Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy and The Oprah Winfrey Show.  “It was actually a small company with only about 300 employees, but they had three of the highest-rated, most profitable shows on television, with about $300 million of revenue and $60 million of operating income,” recalls Epstein, who would go on to add consecutive CFO career chapters at DoubleClick, Nielsen (Media Measurement), and Oracle Corp., a mix that fortified his footing in both the tech and media worlds—but also revealed little preference when it came to company size. “King World had been a family business that had only recently become a New York Stock Exchange company when I joined them, so I had to put in place some basic procedures, but Oracle had been around for many years and already had very sophisticated processes,” notes Epstein, who today exudes as much enthusiasm for Oracle’s approach to simplifying and standardizing its internal processes as he does for the entrepreneurial instincts of King World chairman Roger King. “Three minutes from when an idea came out of my mouth, Roger King would have picked up the phone and be pitching our largest customer, ” says Epstein, whose CFO tenure there lasted 6 years—a span of time during which King World would triple its value and ultimately end up being sold to CBS Corp. It was following the sale of King World, that Epstein would open the career chapter that permitted his CFO career  to grow beyond a single industry.      “DoubleClick was an early Internet advertising technology company and wanted a CFO from either media or technology, so I had the media experience part,” comments Epstein. Today, as operating partner for Bessemer Venture Partners of Menlo Park, Calif., Epstein marvels at the continued evolution of the two industries that shaped his CFO career: “Two years ago, global Internet advertising surpassed global television advertising revenues to become the biggest media opportunity in the world—so if you’re around long enough, you see some incredible things.”   Sign Up for our Newsletter

Find us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of violence, torture, prisons, labor camps, sadistic wardens, death of a loved one, prayer and Christian iconography. 1967 was a year of change, with the growth in revolutionary ideas, escalation of the war in Vietnam, and the “Summer of Love”. So it’s fitting that one of the real big award contenders that year was a prison chain-gang movie about refusing to conform with societal standards. One that just so happened to have the dashing, blue-eyed, cooler than cool Paul Newman at its helm. And while this movie isn’t perfect - it suffers a bit of Kubrick rule fatigue and sometimes belabors the point - there’s something both charming and haunting at the core of this film. We’re brought to a place where even the most iron-willed person will eventually get broken by authority, even if that person might go out with a giant smirk on his face.

Scott Soshnick, Eben Novy-Williams and Michael Barr discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including Stephen A. Smith's new contract with ESPN that reportedly pays the sportscaster $8 million a year. It would make Smith, who is known for his bombastic deliveries on all sports topics, the highest-paid personality at the Walt Disney Co.-owned network. Also discussed is CBS Corp.'s acquisition of the U.S. broadcast rights to the UEFA Champions League, European soccer's biggest annual event. CBS will have the event for three seasons start in 2021, taking over when the existing deal with AT&T's Turner Broadcast ends. Univision is keeping the Spanish-language rights, which it has held since last year. The two networks are together paying a reported $150 million annually for the package -- that's about $50 million more than their current deals. And also touched on is Madison Square Garden Co.'s approval of a plan to spin off all of its sports teams, including the New York Knicks and Rangers. The plan would keep MSG's entertainment operations as a publicly held company with no equity interest in the sports business.

You probably already know that it’s not a good idea to stare into a bright light. When there are many lights—and they’re multi-colored—doing so becomes an even worse idea. You could damage your eyesight, or perhaps have you brainwave replaced by that of a group of alien minds searching for a body to call home. That’s what happened to Lt. Mira Romaine in “The Lights of Zetar,” the third-season TOS episode that plays with character personalities, limited financial resources, and has a connection to a beloved children’s show. In this episode of The Ready Room, we’re joined by Larry Nemecek and Brandon-Shea Mutala to discuss Memory Alpha, Scotty in love, how you can blame anything on space, and why horses might not make the best engineers. We also delve into some Season Three trivia, production shortcuts, and remastered TOS elements. In our news segment, Chris and Larry discuss whether the ascension of Les Moonves to Chair of CBS Corp. will have an impact on Star Trek, when we’ll hear first details about the Star Trek 2017 series, and the future of Star Trek on streaming services not called CBS All Access. Plus, Larry fills us in on the latest happenings in Portal 47. Originally published as The Ready Room 195: Lamb Chop's (Creepy) Play-along.

Robert Pittman, CEO, Clear Channel Communications; Founder, MTV Moderator: Julia Boorstin, Media and Entertainment Reporter, CNBC. This past year has seen a dramatic shift in global media and entertainment As the supply of mobile content continues to develop, how that content is financed and distributed keeps changing. That's reflected in Disney's acquisition of Marvel and Lucasfilm, Comcast's completion of its NBC Universal acquisition and the ongoing evolution in the relationships with such providers as Netflix, Apple and Amazon.com, not only in the U.S. but in growing international markets. As revenue from traditional models declines, are artificial limits on broadband speeds and content delivery inhibiting the uptake of paid digital distribution? Do international markets compensate for potential declines in U.S. television revenue? As media companies deal with such issues as changing platforms, declining movie revenue and globalization, what does the industry's past tell us about the big picture for media in the future?
