Advertisers running on all nine streaming platforms account for 34% of US streaming TV ad spending, according to a March report from MediaRadar.

A time jump resets this show's character dynamics with Rue (Zendaya) working off her debt to a drug dealer and seemingly nearly all the series' other female characters engaged in sex work of some kind. Sam Levinson's vision of a woman's life is pretty depressing.

Row K Entertainment was conceived as a niche solution to a specific problem: too many indie movies, not enough indie buyers. Launched in August 2025, the fledgling label entered the movie market with a clear pitch.

Lashing out at what he called 'lackluster management' of Hollywood's $922-million redevelopment plan, Los Angeles City Councilman Michael Woo on Friday proposed sweeping changes in the way the city's Community Redevelopment Agency handles the project and vowed to increase the voice of residents and small merchants in Hollywood planning decisions.

One Battle After Another dominated the awards race and even threw in some box-office points as well. Seven of the top-ten movies were Best Picture nominees at the Oscars, for what it's worth.

We don't need proof, says one short-seller out for the kill, because we finally have a good story to tell.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, pickup order to lack of renewal. Here we bid farewell to the canceled shows of 2026. Less than a month into the year (and last lunar year not even over) and shows are already starting to drop. This post will serve as living tribute to the TV we're going to miss in 2027. Don't cry because they're over, smile because hopefully there are some sort of residuals in place for the workers.

Netflix said Thursday that it won't raise its bid for Warner Bros. Discovery's streaming and studio assets, allowing Paramount Skydance to emerge as the winning bidder of the entire Warner Bros. portfolio, which includes cable networks like CNN, TBS, TNT, HGTV and others.

Donald Trump wants CNN sold. He has said so repeatedly and publicly, demanding it should be sold in any deal involving Warner Bros Discovery. Now one of America's largest media companies is racing to oblige him, while another looks to consolidate its power.
