Far from being in a position to make a big purchase, Wbd could be positioning itself for a potential sale as well.
Warner Bros. Discovery shattered the normally quiet tranquility of the holidays in late December when reports emerged that the company was in talks regarding a possible merger with Paramount Global. According to a new report from CNBC, those talks are now officially dead, as Wbd has walked away from the table following a disastrous fourth quarter 2024 earnings report.
Controlling interest in Paramount is still available, and the company has other potential suitors kicking its tires. Comcast has confirmed that it does not have an interest in acquiring Paramount, but could still work with the company in commercial partnerships.

On June 2, The Atlantic published a deeply reported look at the rocky tenure of Chris Licht, who took over as chair and CEO of CNN Worldwide last year. The colorful 15,000-word profile features his unvarnished opinions, as well as intimate access, including a morning session with the polarizing executive’s physical trainer, who Licht refers to as his “one-man focus group.”
Staff writer Tim Alberta drew out his subject over a period of months, during which an embattled Licht has dealt with a series of tumultuous episodes at CNN, including anchor Don Lemon’s departure and a poorly received town hall event with former president Donald Trump. The article portrays a brash manager struggling to lead the news division of a media conglomerate amid widespread distrust among his rank-and-file while also catering to the whims of his own fickle, meddling boss: Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav.

Tucker Carlson announced that he will bring a version of his Fox News show — which he lost after getting fired last month — on Twitter, the social platform owned by Elon Musk.
“Starting soon, we’ll be bringing a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter,” Carlson said in a video shared Tuesday on the platform. “Free speech is the main right you have. Without it, you have no others.”
According to Musk, Twitter does not have a deal with Carlson. “[W]e have not signed a deal of any kind whatsoever. Tucker is subject to the same rules & rewards of all content creators,” Musk tweeted Tuesday.
Before Carlson was fired, the Twitter CEO appeared on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” for a two-night interview on Fox News (on April 17 and 18). Among other topics, their discussion covered the implications of AI and...

San Francisco, Dec 23 (Ians) Google-owned YouTube has inked a 2 billion annual deal with the National Football League to acquire exclusive rights for the Sunday Ticket, a subscription-only package that allows football fans to watch most Sunday afternoon games.
The deal will run for seven years, reports CNBC, citing sources.
Sunday Ticket will be available in two ways starting in 2023-24 — as an add-on package on YouTube TV and as an a la carte option on YouTube Primetime Channels, where users can subscribe to specific streaming services and channels and watch movies as well.
Later, consumers will be able to subscribe only to Sunday Ticket without having a YouTube TV subscription.
However, pricing hasn’t been determined for either option, said the report.

San Francisco, Dec 21 (Ians) Google-owned YouTube is in advanced talks with National Football League to acquire exclusive rights for the Sunday Ticket, a subscription-only package that allows football fans to watch most Sunday afternoon games, media report said.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the NFL owners, who approve rights deals, could reach an agreement as early as Wednesday.
Sunday Ticket allows subscribers to watch out-of-market Sunday afternoon games, which include games not involving their local teams.
Streaming of NFL games would be available on YouTube TV and YouTube Primetime Channels next season, said the report.
YouTube has recently grown into a popular destination for television watchers, overtaking Netflix as the most-viewed streaming service on TV for the first time earlier this year, according to the report.
Earlier this week, Apple backed out of a deal to secure the rights to the NFL Sunday Ticket package.

San Francisco, Dec 19 (Ians) Apple has backed out of a deal to secure the rights to the NFL Sunday Ticket package, the media reported.
According to Dylan Byers of Puck News, Apple backed out of the deal because it doesn’t “see the logic”, in closing the pricey football package, reports 9to5Google.
There were reports earlier this year that Apple was close to a deal with the NFL chiefs, as Apple executive Eddy Cue spoke to them in meetings.
But as negotiations with the NFL wore on, Apple backtracked on some of the contract’s limitations, according to the report.
Moreover, the NFL Sunday Ticket is owned by DirecTV, which provides subscribers with access to all NFL American football games played outside of their local markets, the report added.
However, DirecTV is not renewing its deal.
DirecTV is an American multichannel video programming distributor.

Sun Valley, Idaho – Only at the Allen & Co. conference are you likely to stumble on the sight of Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg – No. 4 and No. 5 on the Forbes list of the world’s wealthiest people — taking a leisurely stroll on a street as aptly named as Dollar Road.
The two mega-minds of digital and business were seen doing just that on Thursday evening as the annual gathering of business, political and philanthropic movers and shakers at the ritzy Sun Valley Idaho mountain resort began to wind down. Disney’s Bob Iger and incoming Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav were out and about during the day but headed for the airport in the late afternoon. That was around the time Gates and Zuckerberg were seen walking and talking on the road that runs along the southern edge of the resort complex in the Sawtooth Mountains.

Kim Godwin, a longtime CBS News executive, is poised to become next president of ABC News.
Sources said that Godwin is being tapped to fill the position of James Goldston, who announced in January that he was stepping down as of March 31.
Godwin would be the first Black woman to run a broadcast network news operation. She currently serves as executive vice president of news for the network, with oversight of the national desks, foreign desks and bureaus. She joined the network in 2007, and served as executive director for development and diversity. She also was a senior broadcast producer for CBS Evening News.
Last year, the National Association of Black Journalists honored Godwin with the Ida B. Wells Award, given to those who provide distinguished leadership in increasing access and opportunities to people of color in journalism and improving the coverage of communities of color.
NBC News’ Dylan Byers first reported on Godwin’s selection.

Hours after it came out that the New York Times had spiked a column in which Bret Stephens complained about the way the paper handled the ouster of star reporter Donald McNeil Jr., the New York Post has published the article in full.
In an editor’s note preceding the column, the Post took pains to distance Stephens himself from the publication of his spiked column. “The piece has circulated among Times staffers and others — and it was from one of them, not Stephens himself, that The Post obtained it,” the note said.
McNeil’s ouster came after The Daily Beast reported last week that he used the N-word and also made additional sexist and racist comments on a 2019 trip with students. When the story came out, the Times said it had investigated the incident in 2019 and had taken unspecified disciplinary measures. The Daily Beast’s report prompted outrage from...

CNN is considering a new day for “New Day.”
Executives have been mulling a move that would put Alisyn Camerota, the “New Day” co-anchor who has steered the program though the bulk of the Trump administration, to afternoons, according to a person familiar with the matter. She could be replaced in her current role by Brianna Keilar, a Washington-based afternoon anchor who has gained attention in recent months for delivering hard-nosed video essays and pushing back at Trump officials in live interviews.
Spokespersons for CNN did not respond to queries seeking comment. NBC News’ Dylan Byers previously reported the potential moves via Twitter.
If the switch is put into place, it would represent the latest shake-up at the CNN A.M. franchise, which vies regularly with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends.” CNN launched the program in 2013 with a different vision: a counterpart to traditional...

Mimi Leder, who directed Apple TV+’s “The Morning Show,” believes that many of the people who were critical of the tech giant’s debut drama were driven by a desire to see the company fail in its long-awaited streaming effort.
“I just felt there were a lot of Apple haters and wanting Apple to fail,” Leder said on Tuesday during the Code Conference in Hollywood. “The reviews very much felt like an attack on Apple.”
Apple gave critics the first three episodes ahead of the series launch. Many of the reviews criticized the effort. The show currently has a 63% “fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes but a much higher audience score of 95% (meaning those who gave the show 3.5 stars or more).

Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman have unveiled a slate of short-form projects heading to Quibi, their upcoming video streaming service designed for mobile devices.
The duo, in an opening day panel at SXSW Film, announced a “Thanks a Million” show from Jennifer Lopez’s company about the power of giving; an origin story to complement Telemundo’s drug cartel series “El Señor de los Cielos”; a music competition show produced by Scooter Braun, Justin Bieber’s longtime manager; and “Frat Boy Genius,” based on a Black List script on the rise of Snapchat and its creator, Evan Spiegel.
The session came seven months after Katzenberg and Whitman launched Quibi with a reported $1 billion from investors, including Warner Bros. and Disney. They said Friday that the service will launch in April 2020, with more than 100 pieces of original content per week.

NBC News and MSNBC have hired Dylan Byers away from CNN to serve as a senior media reporter for the network. His beat for NBC will focus on many of the same topics he covered for CNN — Hollywood and Silicon Valley — and he will remain based out of Los Angeles.
“In this new role, Dylan will cover the meeting point of media, entertainment and technology — from his perch in Los Angeles — and bring insight and context to this transformative moment. The impact of big tech is far-reaching — changing our culture, politics, commerce and much more,” say network heads Noah Oppenheim and Phil Griffin.
“Dylan will focus on Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Netflix, but he’ll also keep a sharp eye on emerging players. His work will appear across all our television and digital platforms, including the newly redesigned Tech & Media vertical on NBCNews.com, and he will of course continue his essential newsletter.

After Hillary Clinton's pneumonia diagnosis was belatedly disclosed on Sunday, supporters are rallying around the Democratic nominee and saying her commitment to campaigning through the illness proves she's "tough as hell." Clinton's critics, on the other hand, remain skeptical as ever, with Gop nominee Donald Trump seemingly suggesting his opponent's health issues go beyond pneumonia. Peter Daou, who worked for Clinton, 68, in the past, told the Associated Press that her jam-packed weekend after being diagnosed with pneumonia was "an impressive feat of physical strength that undermined weeks of health conspiracies." "After being diagnosed with pneumonia, Hillary Clinton ran a two-hour national security meeting,...
