Opening Credits: This week on Live Breathe Film with Doug and Murph...Feature Presentation: WBD (and Doug) Won the Summer Box Office - The key to victory this year in our box office pools has been to draft films released from the David Zaslav's superteam of Michael De Luca, Pam Abdy, Peter Safran, and James Gunn. After A Minecraft Movie and Sinners led Murph to victory in the Winter/Spring Box Office Pool, Doug came roaring back to life this summer largely thanks to Final Destination Bloodlines, F1, Superman, and Weapons.Mid-Credits: The Conjuring Continues Warner Bros. Streak - Doug drafted The Conjuring and One Battle After Another in our Fall Box Office Pool. Will the final two biggies from WBD lead him to victory once again? The massive comeback for The Conjuring franchise to kick off the season would lead us to believe it's possible despite an anime drafted late by Murph coming in hot.End Credits: Please make sure to Like, Follow, and Subscribe to Live Breathe Film! 

This week, we highlight the balance sheets of WBD, Netflix, and Roku, including their market capitalization, debt, cash, and profit and loss statements, as we examine some of the high-level rumors of mergers in the industry, where no one seems to be considering the financials. We also discuss Disney's DTC price increases and the ridiculous comparisons about Kimmel's monologue viewership numbers between TV and YouTube, as some claim Disney has seen "mass" cancellations. We cover the unconfirmed news that MLB has agreed to a three-year deal with Netflix for games that include the Home Run Derby and the 2026 opening day game, and highlight how Apple used iPhone 17 Pros to capture and stream live footage of their last Friday Night Baseball game on Apple TV+. Finally, we discuss Roku's unusual comparison, declaring "FAST is the new cable," in their latest report, and highlight the revenue and profit disclosed from vendor Cleeng.Podcast produced by Security Halt Media

Dylan Byers joins Peter to game out what a potential WBD–Paramount Skydance mash-up might look like, as an emboldened David Ellison reportedly readies a multi-billion-dollar cash bid for WBD. They break down the implications for CNN and CBS News—and whether Ellison's grand design could vault him into the rarefied air of tech giants like Netflix and YouTube.

In this episode, we go over yield traps and why abnormally high dividends often signal business stress rather than easy income. We walk through how falling share prices inflate trailing yields, why payout ratios and free cash flow coverage matter, how special dividends can skew TTM yields, and when sector “norms” turn into red flags. To make things easier to spot, we do a sector by sector overview of what is considered a normal yield and what is considered a high and likely unsustainable dividend yield.

Opening Credits: This week on Live Breathe Film with Doug and Murph...Feature Presentation: 2025's Box Office Champion - It's a near guarantee that Avatar: Fire and Ash, Wicked: For Good, or Zootopia 2 is topping the domestic box office for 2025. But which are we willing to bet on and which do we have the least faith in? To make matters even more interesting, not only will the biggest film of the year potentially be selected in our Fall Box Office Draft, but whoever ends up winning our third and final box office pool for 2025 will end up winning the grudge match for the entire year!Mid-Credits: Weapons and Warner Bros. For the Win - Warner Bros. Discovery had a hell of a run this summer with Final Destination Bloodlines, F1, Superman, and Weapons. It shouldn't be a surprise to hear that the person who drafted all four of these films won our Summer Box Office Pool! Maybe the person who drafted A Minecraft Movie and Sinners, which kicked off WBD's explosive run in April, should have followed suit with that proven strategy for success and taken some of these films off the board?End Credits: Please make sure to Like, Follow, and Subscribe to Live Breathe Film!

Episode 143: This week, I cover the viewership stats from YouTube's exclusive NFL live global stream, breaking down what the numbers really mean, since many in the media misreported them. I discuss the challenges that the NFL, FOX and ESPN say they have in working with Nielsen, who once again, announced it is changing the way it measures viewership, which is absent of impartiality and transparency. I also detail the latest news and rumors involving WBD, the upcoming TNT Sports app, and the news that the HBO Max platform will lose live sports in the US next year. Also covered are the rumors that Paramount Skydance wants to make a bid for WBD, and I detail why, if a deal were to happen, it would be far more complex than most realize and would not quickly raise ARPU and reduce churn like some suggest.Amazon's quality stream for the season kickoff of Thursday Night Football is discussed, along with DISH price increases, DAZN's new multiview feature for select NFL Game Pass subscribers and news that Walmart+ members can choose between the ad-supported plans of Paramount+ and Peacock and switch every 90 days at no additional cost. Finally, I provide context around the news that Vimeo has agreed to be acquired by Bending Spoons in an all-cash transaction that values Vimeo at approximately $1.38 billion and detail the numbers from Vimeo's balance sheet that most are not looking at, but should be.Podcast produced by Security Halt Media

Five months on from the sale to DAZN, last night's Foxtel Upfront ‘26 event signalled that for the most part, it will be business as usual. Those of us who trooped across Anzac Bridge to Sydney's old White Bay Power Station saw a show that (not surprisingly given the new owner) swung the emphasis towards the sport portfolio, with less focus on the Binge side of the entertainment portfolio.So far, more has stayed the same than has changed. Kayo, not DAZN, will remain the sports streaming brand, for now at least.Despite losing its HBO content when Warner Brother Discovery launched Max, Binge remains - now leaning on NBC Universal for content. The Paper, the spinoff from The Office, started streaming last week. Ahead of the event, CEO Patrick Delany told me: “It's held its own and it's far more profitable without the extraordinary cost of Warner Brothers in it.”Delany wasn't at last night's event, instead flying to London for a DAZN board meeting; he sent a video message. His absence wasn't particularly jarring. The Foxtel Upfronts have always been more the domain of the boss of the Foxtel Media sales house, Mark Frain.As well as Delany, we also spoke to Frain ahead of the event. Highlights from both those conversations accompany this post as a podcast.Although the emphasis was on sport - with perhaps two-thirds of the presentation dedicated to that side of the business - there were entertainment recommissions announced too, including Colin from Accounts, High Country, The Great Australian Bakeoff and Selling Homes. And new content included Run, The Postcard Bandit, and Tough Love.But the direction is towards sport. According to Delany, they've never let a rights deal go that they wanted to keep. “We've never lost a sports rights content that we didn't want to lose.” Apart from the English Premier League back in 2015, perhaps.Soon the platforms will slide across to DAZN's platform technology. And, says Delany, subscribers to the original Foxtel broadcast service will eventually see their streaming service Foxtel Go move across too. (As a grumpy subscriber, that can't come too soon for me.)Not that the company will be investing any more in the Foxtel hardware. IQ4 and IQ5 boxes will be refurbished or retired. There will be no IQ6.The other piece of hardware that will quickly fade from view is Hubbl. Delany confirmed in the interview that the push is over 18 months after it began. Hubbl is, as he puts it, “in maintenance mode”. That's not quite send to the farm, but close. Given that the company sold more than 100,000 units (Delany revealed it's “not tens of thousands” - they can't just turn off the tap. So technical support for Hubbl will presumably remain for some time.And Frain's push to create a new centre of gravity for the screen industry away from free to air continues to edge forward with the Video Futures Collection becoming an organisation in its own right.Director of customer engagement Toby Dewar told the room:  “All of this has brought us to a key milestone for the VFC. We are becoming an independent industry backed body. What started two years ago as an informal think tank led by Foxtel Media, it's now becoming something bigger.“With structure, governance and a simple mandate to go faster, to go broader, and to ensure we keep the customer at the center of how we push forward with the streaming revolution.”There was no announcement last night of one of the free to air players joining the VFC, which Foxtel has been pushing for. But Dewar did announce, slightly vaguely: “I'm excited to say that along with Seven, Nine and Paramount, we are exploring ways to collaborate and focus on shared research projects to better understand the outcomes across screens.”Other announcements included a move into gaming via a tie-up with Livewire; a push into retail media and a new brand-funded content arm with (I thought rather clever) name of Narratv. Is branded entertainment back?* Declaration of interest: Foxtel provided me with accommodation and covered some of my travel to the eventNine share price drops by a third after Domain exitNine's share price went through a record 35.9% wipeout on Thursday, taking almost $1bn off its market capitalisation.However the change was expected, as the market revalued the stock after the sale of Domain to US real estate giant Costar. Yesterday was the date for Nine's shares to go ex-dividend, which means that anybody who buys Nine shares from now on are not entitled to the special dividend from the Domain sale when it is paid out at the end of the month.Nine's new market cap is $1.7bn.It was also a generally down day elsewhere on the Unmade Index, which monitors the performance of Australia's listed media and marketing companies.Seven West Media lost 3.5%, Ooh Media lost 2.6% and Ive group lost 2.2%.In the lower reaches of the index, Sports Entertainment Group - owner of SEN Radio - lost 7.3% while research house Pureprofile lost 6.7%. Vinyl Group gained 15%.Thanks to Nine's big drop, the Unmade Index also saw the biggest one-day fall in its history, losing 20.3% to land on 464.2 points.Time to leave you to your Friday.I'll be back tomorrow with Best of the Week.

The return of Trump to the White House, rather than reviving the media, has accelerated the decline of traditional outlets. Through litigation, regulation, and other measures, he has profoundly influenced the business decisions of media giants like Paramount, while the Republican party has intensified its campaign to defund public broadcasting. Concurrently, conglomerates such as WBD and Comcast are spinning off their traditional cable TV businesses, and new tech money is moving into Hollywood, rapidly bringing an end to an old era. In this episode, we are once again joined by Yang Yi to conduct an in-depth analysis of where the future of American media is headed.

Story of the Week (DR):Warner Bros. Discovery Reworks CEO Pay, Reducing David Zaslav's Massive Compensation DRDavid Zaslav will take a pay cut after Warner Bros. Discovery splits up—with a big hit to his bonusDavid Zaslav Is Getting a Pay CutWarner Bros to significantly slash CEO David Zaslav's pay packageWarner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav Pay to Drop After Company SplitDavid Zaslav's Pay To Be “Substantially” Lowered Ahead Of Split, WBD Says, But CEO Will Still Reap RewardsIf Zaslav hits 100% of his operational and financial goals in the first year after the split, his target pay will be $16.5mn, compared with $37mn in the current contract. If he hits 200% of the targets, it will be as high as $30mn, the company said on Monday.However, the bulk of Zaslav's future pay will be based on stock options after shareholders rebuked a model based on free cash flow generation.The securities filing made late on Monday said the beleaguered media boss would receive about 24mn in WBD shares that could be purchased for the current $10.16 price.If the share price were to double, the package could eventually be worth nearly $250mn.Two weeks after 60% of Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders rejected CEO David Zaslav's $52M pay plan, the Compensation Committee restructured his plan using Hollywood's latest CGI, special effects, and most seasoned stunt doubles: his new plan reduces his annual pay targets significantly–from $37M to $17M if he hits 100% of his targets–but the devil is in the details as he is eligible for $37M if he reaches 200% of his targets and is getting a massive option grant of 21 million shares at an extremely low strike price of around $10 per share, giving him the theoretical opportunity to make $1.4B if Warner Brothers' share price regains its 2021 high of $77.Boeing's longest-tenured director Lynn Good joins the Board of Morgan Stanley just two days after the crash of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner in India killed more than 200 people.Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky says his company is a 'convenient scapegoat' as European cities protest overtourism“In Barcelona, housing prices rose 60% over the past decade, but Airbnb listings actually decreased.

TraditionalKraft Heinz to remove artificial dyes from U.S. products by end of 2027 SEC Drops Proposed Anti-Greenwashing Fund Disclosure RulesInitially launched by the SEC in 2022, the proposed “Enhanced Disclosures by Certain Investment Advisers and Investment Companies About Environmental, Social, and Governance Investment Practices” rule was designed by the Commission to address the lack of clear rules communicating the ESG attributes of an increasing number of funds marketing themselves using terms such as “green” or “sustainable.”At the time, the Commission said that the lack of consistent and comparable data “makes it difficult for investors to make better informed investment decisions that are in line with their ESG investment goals,” and “may lead to potential greenwashing.”Peru's Climate Education Revolution: A Blueprint for Global ActionOn World Environment Day 2025, the Government of Peru launched a national initiative to embed climate and environmental education into the country's school system.This move sets an example for the rest of the world and shows how education can and should be a central part of a country's climate strategyPresident Dina Ercilia Boluarte led the announcement of a formal agreement between the Ministry of the Environment (MINAM) and the Ministry of Education (MINEDU).Warner Bros.

On this week's show we look at how the strategies keep changing in the streaming wars. We spend your money and design a home theater system for less than $2000. And as usual we read your email and take a look at the week's news. News: Broadcast Schedule's New Paradigm 75% of Streamers Have Tried an Ad-Supported Plan Google TV users will soon be asked to rate apps Viewers can now add Apple TV+ to a DIRECTV subscription Top Streaming Services Change Up Strategies A Business Insider article suggests the streaming wars have shifted from competition to strategic alliances and distinct priorities. Netflix now prioritizes engagement over subscriber numbers, revamping its homepage with vertical video to rival YouTube and TikTok. Disney focuses on subscriber growth through bundles with Hulu and ESPN, aiming for profitable expansion. Warner Bros. Discovery's Max emphasizes profitability, leveraging high-quality content to retain subscribers rather than competing with Netflix's scale. Engagement is key as streamers build ad businesses. Netflix, with 8% of U.S. connected TV watch time, uses engagement to reduce churn and support its $2.2 billion ad business. Amazon's Prime Video scales ads by enabling them for all users unless they opt out, using shopping data to boost ad effectiveness. While Netflix and Amazon focus on engagement for ads, Disney, Paramount+ (79 million subscribers), and Peacock (41 million) prioritize subscriber growth, though neither is profitable yet. Profitability is critical for WBD, which has cut Max's content spending to focus on financial sustainability, leveraging HBO's legacy content. Its bundling with Disney+ and Hulu supports international growth. Apple TV+ faces high churn due to its limited library, leaving its strategy unclear. As streamers balance growth, engagement, and profitability, alliances and niche strategies redefine success in a crowded market. Home Theater System for under $2000 Ok so you bought a house and spent all your money but you already had a 70” TV from your previous home. And while that has been great you want something more out of your TV watching experience. Somehow you scrape together a $2000 budget and want to know what kind of “Home Theater” System you can cobble together to provide you with immersive surround sound. For this exercise we are assuming a typical living room (e.g., ~15x20 ft) and a focus on movies and general entertainment. We will emphasize value and performance while keeping the setup beginner-friendly. Key Considerations Room Size: Our medium-sized living room can benefit from a 5.1 or possibly a 5.1.2 (Dolby Atmos) setup for surround sound. We have chosen to stay with a 5.1 system for budget concerns. Priorities: Clear dialogue, deep bass, and immersive surround effects are key for movies and gaming. Music performance is secondary but still considered. Components: You'll need an AV receiver, speakers (front, center, surrounds), a subwoofer, and a streaming device.  Setup: We opted for wired speakers for reliability and cost savings over wireless systems, which can eat into the budget. Recommended System AV Receiver: Denon AVR-S760H 2021 Model  ($500 from Amazon) We are on a budget so a 2021 model that does everything you need for a small family room on a budget is absolutely the right call here. Don't overlook last year's models on your A/V equipment. No one will walk into your house and whisper about last years (or four years ago) model behind your back. This is a 7.2-channel receiver with 75W per channel, supporting 4K/120Hz, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and room calibration (Audyssey). It's versatile, beginner-friendly, and handles modern formats for movies and gaming. 6 HDMI inputs (3 with 8K support), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and HEOS for streaming. Refurbished units can save even more. Speaker System: RSL CG3M 5.1 home theater system ($850 Direct from RSL) We splurged a little on the speakers. The CG3Ms will not disappoint! We have been fans of RSL since we had Joe Rogers on the show about 15 years ago. He is a musician and understands what music is supposed to sound like and has designed speakers with that in mind.  This compact speaker system will put you right in the middle of a concert or movie! You really can't get better at this price. The 300 watt 10” subwoofer is plenty for your small to medium sized family room.   Speaker Wire and Cables: Monoprice ($50 Budget) Pretty much from day one we have been saying buy good cables but don't spend a lot of money doing so. $50 at Monoprice goes a long way for your Speaker and HDMI cables.   Streaming Device: ($150 Budget) A streaming device enhances your home theater by providing access to all kinds of entertainment options, including Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+,and YouTube. These dedicated streaming devices offer faster performance, regular software updates, and broader app compatibility. They also support advanced features like 4K HDR, Dolby Atmos, and voice control, elevating your viewing experience with superior picture and sound quality. Additionally, devices like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, or Apple TV are portable, affordable, and easy to set up, making them a versatile upgrade for any home theater, regardless of your TV's age or brand. Sales Tax: $90 - $150 Unfortunately we can't forget the tax man. There are a few places in the US that do not have a sales tax and other areas range from 6% up to 10%. Total Cost: ~$1,640-$1,700 This leaves ~$300-$360 for a programmable remote, Atmos, or height speakers. Or a year of a new streaming service.  This system balances cost, performance, and future expandability, delivering an elevated experience for your new home without breaking the bank.

Warner Bros. Discovery has renamed its streaming service once again. Beginning in the summer of 2025, “Max” will be “HBO Max” again. The company dropped “HBO” from its name in 2023, a move which was widely recognized as the company's attempt to become more competitive with a company like Netflix in its programming variety. The name change signals a renewed focus on the associations between HBO and a certain caliber of TV. What's next for WBD and the streaming landscape writ large? Kim Masters and Matt Belloni are on deck to talk it through. Plus, NPR TV critic Eric Deggans talks with comedian and actor Ramy Youssef on creating #1 Happy Family USA. The new series marks Youssef's first foray into animation. His latest comedy shares a lot of DNA with the award-winning series Ramy — drawing even more inspiration from childhood memories of growing up in a Muslim family in New Jersey post-9/11.
