Alicia Reese with Wedbush talks all about the streaming wars on Wall Street. She first turns to Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) splitting into two separate companies and explains how it drives growth for its top line.

Warner Bros. Discovery's (WBD) planned split sends shockwaves through the industry.

Comcast (CMCSA) and Paramount (PARA) are still vying to pull streamers from those streaming giants. Jamie Myers and Seth Schachner break down the winners and losers in the increasingly crowded streaming landscape.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

He also discusses Paramount Global's (PARA) earnings beat, Walt Disney's (DIS) 1.4 million new Disney+ subs, and why Netflix (NFLX) is still the one to beat in the streaming wars – for now.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Getting Stoned and Binges   This week's podcast recap is all about Danna's streaming obsessions, financial musings, and the eternal struggle of paying bills.   Streaming Wars & Late-Night Binges: •Remember when we tried to save money by cutting cable? Now we have every streaming service imaginable. •The White Lotus is back, this time in Thailand! It started slow, but now it's a total train wreck (in the best way). •Kristin doesn't watch it, and no, you can't have her Hulu login because she doesn't have it. •Paradise (or whatever that Secret Service show is called) is our latest must-watch. •We're also watching Running Point on Netflix—an easy, feel-good choice. •The struggle is real: “Just one more episode” has us staying up way too late.   Spring Break Recap: •Danna went to Kalahari and is officially over it. •She even filled out a survey and got a free upgrade offer—any takers? •Lots of rodeo weekends, a fun restaurant visit, and some serious spring cleaning.   Life, Bills & Adulting: •Paying bills is the worst, but at least they're paid. •Do people even use savings accounts anymore?  •Transferring money should be easier, and some banks need to get it together. •Tom's financial advice? Invest in stocks, not gold. •Diamond rings? Not a great investment. Gravel for the farm? Surprisingly expensive.   Random Fun: •Did you know friends who roast each other are 300% more loyal? That explains a lot. •Danna loves her wedding ring but would rather spend money on travel than an upgrade or both would be even better. •Oh, and Kristin's husband volunteered her to fix a board meeting dinner—menu TBD.   So there you have it: TV, travel, finances, and gravel—just another week in our chaotic, wonderful lives.   Get Social with Danna and Kristin !   @localfarmmom | @dannageraci183 | @themismatchedpodcast on  Instagramhttps://youtube.com/@themismatchedpodcast4078

Companies are seeking ways to package content more efficiently while keeping consumers engaged.The Role of Fandom in Media StrategySuccessful media companies hyper-serve niche fandoms, as seen with the New York Times acquiring The Athletic and Crunchyroll's anime dominance.Legacy Media vs. Digital Native PlatformsTraditional media companies struggle with direct-to-consumer (DTC) strategies, while platforms like YouTube, Netflix, and Tubi personalize user experiences for higher engagement.The Future of Sports StreamingESPN faces challenges in making sports content discoverable. Apple is already outperforming ESPN in driving sports engagement through push notifications.AI's Role in Content CreationGenerative AI isn't replacing creators—it's giving them superpowers. Those with storytelling skills will thrive, while others may struggle.Many decision-makers in legacy media lack a deep understanding of DTC logic. A younger generation, raised in the digital age, will likely reshape the future.The Long-Term Future of Sports RightsWhile sports streaming is growing, broadcast TV is still dominant. The real battle is understanding how sports fans engage and what they'll pay for.Guest: Andrew RosenHost: Mike ShieldsSponsor: ElementalTVProducer: FEL Creative

This week, Nathan, Chris, and Riley marvel at the speed with which Sony pulled the plug on its latest live service offering, Concord, a game so focused-grouped for everyone that it ended up being for no one. Are live service games as a whole doomed? Probably not. But the way triple-A publishers approach them – toiling away for years and then releasing something that feels dated on day one – likely is. Then we reflect on the great Twitch vs YouTube livestreaming war, which seems to be ending with a whimper rather than a bang as big-name streamers YouTube signed to multi-million-dollar exclusivity contracts are returning to Twitch now that those contracts are up. With Twitch allowing creators to stream to multiple platforms and YouTube seemingly uninterested in significantly improving its streaming product, why not? In the end, nobody really won The Streaming Wars. Instead, they got distracted trying to copy TikTok. Lastly, we discuss NaNoWriMo's weird stance on AI, which – as with most supposed defenses of AI as a creative tool – just doesn't really make much sense. Oh, and Nathan absolutely knocks it out of the park with his segment transitions this week. Do not believe anyone who tells you otherwise!   Credits - Hosts: Nathan Grayson, Chris Person, and Riley MacLeod - Subscribe to Aftermath!   About The Show Aftermath Hours is the flagship podcast of Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription-based website covering video games, the internet, and everything that comes after from journalists who previously worked at Kotaku, Vice, and The Washington Post.

Paramount TV -- which produces Reacher and the Time Bandits reboot, among other things -- suddenly shut down, with employees being given very little notice. Paramount is reducing its overall workforce by 15% to get ready for the Skydance merger, and it's going to be a bloodbath. With Paramount and Warner Bros. both hanging on by their fingertips, Hollywood is going to look VERY different on the other side of this. The Streaming Wars definitely had some casualties. ➡️ Tip Jar and Fan Support: http://ClownfishSupport.com ➡️ Official Merch Store: http://ShopClownfish.com ➡️ Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com ➡️ Audio Edition: https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 Paramount TV is shutting down and merging with CBS Studios, resulting in severe layoffs and uncertainty for employees in the wake of changes in the TV and streaming marketplace. 00:00 Paramount TV is shutting down and merging with CBS Studios, resulting in severe layoffs and uncertainty for employees. 01:13 Paramount TV studios is shutting down completely, with layoffs and cost-saving efforts ahead of a merger with Sky Dan, leading to uncertainty about the survival of other brands like MTV and Nickelodeon. 02:08 Paramount TV Studios is shutting down and all current series and projects will move under CBS Studios. 03:26 Paramount TV suddenly shuts down due to significant changes in the TV and streaming marketplace, resulting in layoffs. 04:35 Paramount TV shuts down, causing job losses and potential changes to Nickelodeon brand. 06:05 Hollywood is facing layoffs and financial cuts, with top executives making poor decisions and workers suffering the consequences. 07:35 Paramount TV suddenly shuts down, leaving many people out of work, possibly due to the rise of streaming services and tech companies. 08:02 Hollywood studios tried to compete with Netflix by focusing on political agendas instead of good content, leading to consumer backlash and the implosion of Hollywood.

Tubi is having a good run. As of May, the free, ad-supported streaming service was taking 1.8% of monthly television viewing across streaming platforms, tying with Disney+ and beating Max, Paramount+ and Peacock, according to Nielsen. It could be considered a win in the streaming wars. Tubi, though, doesn't consider itself to be part of said wars, according to ​​Tubi CMO Nicole Parlapiano. “I feel like we're watching the war,” she said. “The relationship in entertainment [between streaming platforms], which took me a lot to understand was, we're not all at war because we all need each other in a way.” On the latest episode of the Digiday Podcast, Parlapiano shares her perspective on the so-called streaming wars, pitching Tubi's multicultural viewers and the streaming platform's growth track.
