Warner Bros. Discovery board rejects Paramount Skydance offer, backs Netflix merger

Warner Bros. Discovery's Board of Directors has unanimously recommended that shareholders reject the tender offer from Paramount Skydance (PSKY) and reiterated its support for a merger with Netflix, which they believe provides "superior and more certain value for shareholders."

Netflix announced it had been the supposed successful acquirer of the WBD business earlier this month after winning the bidding war against Paramount. The Netflix transaction is valued at approximately US$82.7 billion and includes an equity value of $72.0 billion, plus offer of $27.75 per WBD share.

Within 24 hours, Paramount had launched a hostile takeover bid, putting forward an all-cash offer valued at over US$108 billion. The all-cash offer targeted the entire Warner Bros. business, encompassing film, television, streaming, and cable networks and put the price at approximately US$30 per share.

But WBD's board has said the PSKY offer is inadequate, citing significant risks and costs that it would impose on shareholders. According to the Board, the PSKY offer lacks a full equity backstop from the Ellison family, despite claims to the contrary. The Board's review process was described as full, fair, and transparent, with no material difference in regulatory risk between the PSKY offer and the Netflix merger.

The proposed merger agreement with Netflix offers WBD shareholders $23.25 in cash and $4.50 in Netflix common stock, in addition to further value from Discovery Global shares. In contrast, the PSKY offer has been described as "illusory and non-binding," with the potential for termination or amendment at any time.

"The PSKY offer could also incur additional costs for WBD shareholders, including a $2.8 billion termination fee to Netflix and $1.5 billion in financing costs," the board stated.

The Board has engaged financial advisors Allen & Company, J.P. Morgan, and Evercore, along with legal counsel from Wachtell Lipton, Rosen & Katz and Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, to assist in the evaluation process.

Samuel A. Di Piazza, Jr., Chair of the Warner Bros. Discovery Board of Directors, stated, "Following a careful evaluation of Paramount's recently launched tender offer, the Board concluded that the offer's value is inadequate, with significant risks and costs imposed on our shareholders."

Di Piazza further commented, "This offer once again fails to address key concerns that we have consistently communicated to Paramount throughout our extensive engagement and review of their six previous proposals. We are confident that our merger with Netflix represents superior, more certain value for our shareholders and we look forward to delivering on the compelling benefits of our combination."

* Being Eddie — NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY
It goes without saying that there is only one Eddie Murphy. No other teen comedian shared a stage with Jerry Seinfeld at 17, and joined the cast of Saturday Night Live right out of high school. No actor has ever played a cop, a doctor, and a donkey — and dominated every facet of Hollywood he’s touched. Fewer still have been an A-list celebrity for over four decades, and never succumbed to its darker side. Murphy’s unusual combination of explosive charisma, focused ambition, raw talent, and deep-set circumspection puts him in a league of his own, and is on full display in Being Eddie, directed by two-time Oscar® winner Angus Wall. The documentary gathers comedy and Hollywood legends like Dave Chappelle, Tracee Ellis Ross, Jamie Foxx, Jerry Seinfeld, Reginald Hudlin and more to celebrate the Oscar®-nominated actor and his nearly 50-year career that’s seen him break barriers, invent genres, and inspire generations of talent. For the first time ever, Murphy invites the public into his home to revisit his breathtaking body of work, all the while revealing the dazzling interior life that has long driven — and grounded — this once-in-a-century star.

The proposed merger between Seven West Media and Southern Cross Media Group has been criticised by some shareholders of the latter. They are concerned about the proposal to issue nearly 100 per cent of its shares to finance the acquisition of Seven West without putting the deal to its own shareholders. Sandon Capital MD Gabriel Radzyminski will seek a change to Southern Cross's constitution that would prevent the group from issuing more than 25 per cent of new shares without a shareholder vote; Sandon has an 11.3 per cent stake in the media group. However, Southern Cross chairman Heith Mackay-Cruise says there is strong support for the deal amongst its major shareholders. (RMS)

NRL poised to pip AFL for largest grand final broadcast audience for first time in a decade

The Seven Network's coverage of the 2025 AFL grand final is currently Australia's most-watched TV program in the year-to-date, boasting an average audience of 4.08 million people. However, the NRL's two preliminary finals had a combined average audience of 5.2 million, which is 35 per cent higher year-on-year. Some TV industry insiders believe that the NRL grand final on the Nine Network will attract a larger audience than the AFL's premiership showdown; this would be for the first time since 2015. The last grand final showdown between the Brisbane Broncos and Melbourne Storm in 2006 attracted an average audience of nearly four million. (RMS)

Media merger to counter big tech

The proposed merger between Seven West Media and Southern Cross Media Group is forecast to generate annual pre-tax cost synergies of up to $30m. The merger will combine Seven's linear TV and digital broadcast platforms with Southern Cross's radio stations; Seven also owns print and digital newspapers. Seven West's shareholders are expected to vote on the deal later this year or in early 2026; if approved, Southern Cross will emerge with a 50.1 per cent stake in the combined entity. Seven's CEO Jeff Howard will take on the role in the merged group, while Seven chairman Kerry Stokes will step down in favour of Southern Cross counterpart Heith Mackay-Cruise. Southern Cross CEO John Kelly has indicated that he has also held merger talks with Nine Entertainment in recent months. (RMS)

Don't team up: NRL chief to Nine, Foxtel

The National Rugby League's current $1.7m broadcasting rights deal with Foxtel and Nine Entertainment ends in 2027, and the league will commence negotiations for the next deal later this year.

The Australian Rugby League Commission's chairman Peter V'landys expects the new deal to be worth much more, noting that there has been strong growth in TV audiences for NRL matches. He adds that live sport is crucial to the future of free-to-air TV, given the audience shift to streaming platforms.

V'Landys has also cautioned Nine and Foxtel against making a joint bid, warning that the NRL will take the rights elsewhere if they attempt to collude. (Roy Morgan Summary)

After trashing big tech for years, Murdochs eye TikTok US stake

He named Lachlan and Rupert Murdoch as likely investors in TikTok, as well as IT pioneers Michael Dell and Larry Ellison. Sources have indicated that the Murdoch family would most likely invest in TikTok via Fox Corporation.

Starlink ups plans to 44,988 satellites

SpaceX has filed a formal application to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for permission to launch thousands of extra satellites into very low Earth orbit (VLEO). The scheme will take some time to implement but suggests that Starlink would then be able to manage greater coverage of its direct-to-consumer connectivity. Starlink already has about 650 ‘direct-to-cell- satellites in orbit.

The application covers a slew of new orbits, between 326 kms and 335 kms and much lower than the existing Starlink fleet. The application also covers usage of new – to Starlink – transmission frequencies. Those frequencies include those which Starlink acquired from EchoStar earlier in September.

“This new system of up to 15,000 satellites will provide ubiquitous connectivity to ordinary mobile handsets and a range of other devices and user terminals,” the company wrote in its filing.

The request is over and above existing filings which total up to 29,988 satellites and covers a maximum – says SpaceX – of an extra 15,000 satellites, and taking the total envisioned of 44,988 satellites.

This filing attachment contains information describing SpaceX’s non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellite system and use of spectrum for Mobile-Satellite Service (MSS), as required under Part 25 of the Commission’s rules.1 SpaceX proposes to provide MSS service internationally.

The SpaceX request typically lists up to 5,760 satellites for each orbital plane. SpaceX says the frequencies and satellites will be used in partnership with terrestrial operators to augment high-capacity terrestrial 5G networks.

Observers say these very low orbits mean that the satellites are subject to some atmospheric drag. While the atmosphere is extremely thin at altitudes of around 330 kms, it still impacts satellites at these heights. Consequently, the fleet will need to be replaced more frequently as the satellites decay in orbit.

Expert observers suggest that the extra fleet, when fully in position will need an average of 3,100 replacements to be launched annually.

Last November, the FCC cleared SpaceX to orbit some Starlink satellites as low as 340 kms in orbit, so long as the company coordinates with NASA. The company’s new application requests to orbit the next-generation cellular Starlink satellites ever closer to Earth, from between 326 kms to 335km, which would likely help reduce their latency when connecting to phones below.

Netflix Earnings, Q1

April 17, 2025

Netflix reported first-quarter results Thursday that topped Wall Street estimates as subscription price hikes and a jump demand for the streaming giant’s ad-supported tiers helped boost performance.

Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) shares rose 3% in afterhours trade following the results.

Netflix announced earnings per share of $6.61, easily beating the consensus of $5.69. Revenue for the quarter rose 13% to $10.54 billion, above the consensus of $10.5 billion. Operating income grew 27% from last year to $3.35 billion.

The streaming giant attributed the better-than-expected results to "slightly higher subscription and ad revenue and the timing of expenses."

For Q2, the company expects revenue growth of 15%, underpinned by recent price changes and continued growth in membership and advertising revenue, with operating margin coming in at 33%, a 6% year-over-year improvement. The company expects EPS for the quarter of $7.03, which is above the consensus of $6.24. Revenue for the current quarter is expected to be $11.04 billion, compared to the consensus of $10.9 billion.

Looking further ahead, the company reiterated its forecast for 2025 revenue of $43.5B to $44.5B and is still targeting a 29% operating margin for 2025. Wall Street had seen revenue for the year of $44.3 billion.

Netflix said it repurchased 3.7 million shares in the quarter for $3.5 billion, the most ever purchased in a quarter.

The company also announced that it is now producing in over 50 countries.

News

Netflix Inc. shares rose in extended trading Thursday after the company reported profit in the first quarter well above its own projections and that predicted by analysts, due to higher-than-expected subscription and advertising-revenue growth, it said.

The streaming giant reported net income of $2.89 billion, up 13% compared to $2.33 billion in the same quarter a year earlier. Analysts had estimated net income of $2.48 billion, according FactSet. The company said that its revenue would have risen 17% if the impact of foreign currency fluctuations was removed.

Earnings per share came in at $6.61, the company reported, far ahead of the $5.67 predicted by analysts polled by FactSet.

Netflix shares
NFLX +1.19% closed 1.2% higher during Thursday’s regular session and were last up 2.6% in after-hours trading, after initially spiking more than 4%. The company’s stock has recently outperformed the market in the most recent tariff-driven slowdown, suggesting investors had expected a strong earnings report.

Revenue in the quarter was $10.5 billion, up from $9.4 billion in the first quarter of 2024. That came in even with the $10.5 billion that analysts had predicted. Revenue was boosted by a price hike in January.

The company said that despite the recent period of economic instability driven by the Trump administration’s tariff push, it saw “no material change to our overall business outlook since our last earnings report.”

This was the first quarter that Netflix did not report subscriber numbers, which had previously been considered a key indicator of growth, as the company attempts to transition to more traditional financial metrics as markers of its development. In its shareholder letter Thursday, Netflix said only that it posted “slightly higher” subscription revenue than it had expected.

Last quarter — the final period in which Netflix disclosed new subscriber numbers — it reported adding 18.9 million subscribers globally, well above what had been expected.

Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Netflix had set the ambitious target of doubling its revenue by 2030 and reaching a market capitalization of $1 trillion. The company’s current market valuation is around $411 billion.

The company aims to have 400 million global subscribers by then, up from just over 300 million at the end of 2024. Netflix also is aiming to triple its annual operating income by 2030 from around $10.4 billion last year, the Journal reported.

New Releases and Hits:

The Life List, a rom-com starring Sofia Carson, continues to dominate, holding the No. 1 spot on Netflix’s English Films list for three weeks with over 13 million views in the latest week. Fans are reportedly making life-changing decisions inspired by the film’s themes.

Black Mirror Season 7 premiered last week, featuring a star-studded cast including Cristin Milioti, Paul Giamatti, and Awkwafina. The second episode has sparked debate due to alternate versions, with some fans claiming Netflix is “gaslighting” them.

Pulse, a medical drama likened to Grey’s Anatomy, is climbing the charts despite mixed reviews, with fans praising its “addictive” and “juicy” action.

The Glass Dome, a chilling Scandi thriller by Camilla Lackberg, is generating buzz with its upcoming release.

iHostage, a thriller based on the 2022 Amsterdam Apple Store hostage crisis, is set to drop next week.

North of North, a comedy focusing on Indigenous stories, debuted at No. 5 on Netflix’s Top 10 with a perfect 100% critic score.

Upcoming Projects:

The Sandman Season 2, its final season, will release in two parts: six episodes on July 3 and five on July 24, 2025.

Jennifer Lopez will star in The Last Mrs. Parrish, a film directed by Robert Zemeckis.

May 2025 will bring Balle perdue 3, the final chapter of the French action saga, and The Four Seasons, a Tina Fey comedy-drama.

Platform Updates:

Netflix expanded its dubbing and subtitling options, now offering subtitles in 33 languages and audio in 36 on TVs, responding to thousands of monthly user requests. This enhances accessibility for global audiences, with nearly a third of viewership tied to non-English content like Squid Game and Lupin.

Industry Discussion:

Netflix’s binge-release model is under scrutiny as competitors like Disney+ use weekly drops to sustain buzz. Recent hits like Squid Game Season 2 and American Primeval reportedly fade quickly due to all-at-once releases. (Grok)

Paul Heyman To ScreenRant

"I hope so. I hope the product is always evolving. Roman Reigns and I always like to say, if we can look back on things that we did 6 months ago, and we can even watch it anymore, then we haven't improved that much, have we? Of course the product is gonna change when it goes on Netflix. How could it not? It's the biggest streaming service in the world. It's the distribution portal now for anyone who wants a level of prestige or placement in the culture. So, once we get on Netflix, the approach to how we present the product must change, must evolve, must upgrade, must be enhanced, must be elevated. If not, what are we doing? How are we not taking advantage of that opportunity?"

"So, yes, the product will change on Netflix. Yes, it will be intentional. Yes, it will be with the help and the interaction of the audience itself. And, no, I make no predictions about it because the culture will be different when we get on to Netflix. And the culture itself will dictate how far we go in terms of layers of stories. And at the same time, the accountability will be on us in terms of driving that culture. The same way music drives its culture, the same way sneaker fandom drives its culture, the same way music can drive fashion and sports and other cultures, we will drive the culture. We just have to get embedded into it first."

"...You said the Attitude Era was the biggest, most robust... I don't think that is accurate anymore. I think it's right now, and I think that the moment that we are going through right now, I was in the Attitude Era at the peak of it as you were. We didn't realize what it was in the moment. Having seen that, I see this and I see it way bigger. I see this as this different moment in time in the business and it being something different. And you mentioned the Triple H Era, I don't think it's that. I think this at the end of it is going to be called the Netflix Era. That's where the big change is."

News

Triple H To Sports Illustrated

"It will be flexible. It will be flexible in I don’t necessarily know the time constraints of network television or cable television apply. It’s a slightly different platform. Much like many episodic shows, they have the ability to do whatever the show needs to have down. If this episode needs to be an hour, great, it’s an hour. If the next episode needs to be 42 minutes, it’s 42 minutes. It’s what makes for the best product. I’m not saying we’re going to be 42 minutes, but clearly we’ll deliver the product in a way that is best for Netflix and their business model and best for our storytelling."

Media Man: Special thanks WWE, Netflix and X! Much respect to all involved.

Changes Ahead For WBD, HBO, Binge, Paramount And Many Others - Too Many To List! Media Man Founder and Subscriber TV Veteran

Streaming entertainment has transformed how we consume media, offering a vast array of movies, TV shows, music, and more directly to our devices. Here's a breakdown of what's happening in this space as of my last update:

Major Players:

Netflix: Known for its original content like "Stranger Things," "The Crown," and "Squid Game." They've been pushing into gaming and have been experimenting with ad-supported models.

Amazon Prime Video: Comes with Amazon Prime membership. Notable for "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," "The Boys," and its integration with shopping and other Amazon services.

Disney+: A powerhouse for family entertainment, featuring Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and classic Disney content. It's also expanding its library with more adult-oriented content under the Star banner in some regions.

HBO Max: Offers premium content like "Game of Thrones," "Chernobyl," and a vast library of movies. It's also known for its DC Universe shows.

Apple TV+: While newer, it's making waves with high-quality originals like "Ted Lasso," "The Morning Show," and "See."

Peacock (NBCUniversal): Provides a mix of free and premium content, including "The Office," WWE, and original series like "Punky Brewster."

Paramount+: Combines CBS All Access with content from Paramount, Nickelodeon, MTV, and more, featuring shows like "Star Trek: Discovery" and "The Stand."

Trends and Developments:

Original Content: There's a massive push towards creating exclusive content to attract subscribers. This includes movies, series, documentaries, and even live sports.

Global Expansion: Services are increasingly focusing on international markets, either by offering local content or by making their service available in more countries.

Bundling: Companies are bundling their streaming services with other products. For example, Disney has bundles with Hulu and ESPN+.

Ad-Supported Models: To combat rising costs, some platforms like Netflix have introduced or are considering ad-supported tiers.

Direct-to-Streaming Releases: Movies are increasingly bypassing traditional theatrical releases, going straight to streaming platforms, especially noted during global health crises.

Quality Over Quantity: While there's a lot of content, platforms are also focusing on high-quality, award-winning productions to stand out.

Interactive Content: Some platforms are experimenting with interactive movies or shows where viewers can choose the plot direction.

Technological Integration: Enhanced with technologies like 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos for audio, providing a cinematic experience at home.

Challenges:

Content Saturation: With so many platforms, there's a risk of content fatigue among viewers.

Churn: Subscribers frequently switch between services based on what's currently available, leading to high turnover.

Regulatory Scrutiny: Issues like market dominance, content licensing, and privacy are increasingly under regulatory lenses.

Piracy: Despite advanced measures, piracy remains a challenge, especially for content not easily accessible in certain regions.

If you're interested in a specific aspect of streaming entertainment or want to know about recent developments since my last update, feel free to ask! If there's a particular service or type of content you're curious about, I can dive deeper into those areas. (Grok)

Streaming TV

Streaming TV has revolutionized how we consume television content, offering a vast array of shows, movies, and original programming through internet-based platforms rather than traditional cable or satellite TV. Here's a breakdown of what you might be interested in regarding streaming TV as of my last update:

Key Players:

Netflix: Known for its extensive library, original content like "Stranger Things," "The Crown," and "Squid Game," and a global reach.

Amazon Prime Video: Comes with an Amazon Prime subscription, offering shows like "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," "The Boys," and movies, plus the integration with shopping services.

Hulu: Offers a mix of current TV episodes, a robust library of older content, and originals like "The Handmaid's Tale." It's also notable for its live TV option.

Disney+: Focuses on family-friendly content, including Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and National Geographic. Hits include "The Mandalorian" and "WandaVision."

HBO Max: Home to HBO's acclaimed series like "Game of Thrones," "Chernobyl," plus a wide range of Warner Bros. movies and new originals.

Apple TV+: While newer, it's gaining traction with high-quality originals like "Ted Lasso," "The Morning Show," and "Foundation."

Peacock: NBCUniversal's service, offering a mix of free and premium content, including "The Office," "Parks and Recreation," and new originals.

Trends and Features:

Ad-Supported vs. Ad-Free: Many services now offer tiers where you can choose between watching with ads for a lower price or paying more for an ad-free experience.

Live TV Streaming: Services like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and Sling TV allow streaming of live broadcast channels, appealing to sports fans and those who still want traditional TV experiences.

Bundling: Some platforms offer bundles with internet service providers or other streaming services to reduce costs.

Original Content: There's a significant push towards exclusive, original content to differentiate services, leading to a golden age of TV with high-quality, diverse programming.

Global Expansion: Services are increasingly focusing on global markets, offering localized content or subtitles/dubbing in multiple languages.

Technological Considerations:

4K and HDR: Many services now offer content in 4K resolution and HDR, enhancing viewing quality.

Offline Viewing: Most services allow downloading content for offline viewing, which is great for travel or areas with poor internet.

Smart TVs and Devices: Streaming is not just for computers or smartphones anymore; smart TVs, streaming sticks (like Roku, Amazon Fire Stick), and gaming consoles have made streaming accessible on almost any screen.

Challenges:

Content Fragmentation: With content spread across multiple services, there's a growing issue of "streaming fatigue" where consumers feel overwhelmed by the number of subscriptions needed.

Price Increases: As content quality and exclusivity rise, so do subscription costs, leading to discussions about the cost-effectiveness of streaming vs. traditional cable.

Piracy: The fragmentation and cost have somewhat revived piracy concerns as viewers look for ways to access content without multiple subscriptions.

Streaming powerhouse to launch in Australia next year

September 25, 2024

by Sam Buckingham-Jones

Netflix, Disney+ and Stan will have a powerful new competitor next year after global entertainment company Warner Bros. Discovery confirmed it will launch its Max streaming platform in Australia in the first half of 2025.

The impending launch of Max has been an open secret among television and entertainment executives for months. Warner Bros owns CNN, the Cartoon Network, the DC comic brand and, crucially, HBO and its hit shows like House of the Dragon, Succession and The Last of Us.

The launch of Max will likely change the nature of a long-standing relationship with News Corp’s Foxtel and strip valuable HBO shows from its pay TV service and streaming platform Binge.

Warner Bros’ Asia-Pacific president James Gibbons announced the rollout on Wednesday at a regional conference.

“We can also confirm we’ll be launching our direct service in Australia in the first half of next year. That’s definitely happening,” he told the APOS conference in Bali.

“We have had a long-standing and really important relationship with Foxtel and I think the time has come for us to expand that into the DTC [direct-to-consumer] space.” (Credit: The Australian Financial Review)

Olympics fuels US TV viewership in August

September 2024

US Television viewing in August was boosted by the 2024 Paris Olympics, according to The Gauge report from Nielsen. The Summer Games had the most notable impact on broadcast viewership, notching growth levels more typical for September with increases of 8 per cent versus July and 11.7 per cent year over year. The broadcast category ultimately accounted for 22 per cent of TV in August, and when looking week-by-week, its share peaked during the first week of the interval with 24.3 per cent of TV.

On the streaming side, Peacock offered broad Olympics coverage to complement linear offerings, the success of which was demonstrated by a monthly viewership increase of 39 per cent for the streaming service overall, and nearly double the amount of viewers aged 35-49. These factors helped lift Peacock from a 1.5 per cent share of TV in July to a new platform-best 2.1 per cent share in August (+0.6 pts.). It also makes Peacock only the third streaming platform this year to record a 0.5 point share increase or more on a monthly basis, in addition to YouTube (February and July) and Netflix (June).

Olympics programming on NBC drew millions of viewers in both primetime and daytime windows. Across all of NBC’s Olympics telecasts that aired during the August interval, 32 of them totaled more than 5 million viewers, and 17 garnered more than 10 million viewers. Moreover, Olympics telecasts on NBC notched the top 19 broadcast telecasts of the month. Leading the charge with 17.9 million viewers was NBC’s July 30th primetime programme that highlighted Simone Biles and the US women’s gymnastics team winning gold in the team competition, as well as four American medals in swimming and the dramatic bronze-medal victory by the US women’s rugby team.
From a total television usage perspective, August levels were even with July. However, a year-over-year comparison revealed a larger imbalance, as usage this month was up 3.5 per cent versus August 2023. A notable year-over-year difference was also evident among broadcast program genres, with broadcast sports programme viewership up 239 per cent over August 2023, further illustrating the impact of the Games on the overall TV landscape.

Like the broadcast category, cable also exhibited a peak viewing week that coincided with a major TV event. The Democratic National Convention aired for four nights across multiple networks during the final week of the August interval, and during that week, cable’s share of television climbed to 27.9 per cent. The DNC also contributed to the top cable programmes in August, with MSNBC receiving most of the benefits. MSNBC owned the top 11 cable telecasts of the month, and 14 of the top 15. ESPN’s coverage of the Florida State vs Georgia Tech football matchup snagged the 12th spot. In the end, cable viewing was down 2 per cent from July and finished the month with 26.3 per cent of TV.

After several consecutive remarkable months, the streaming category had a softer month in August from a content perspective, but remained the clear winner overall with 41 per cent of TV (down 1 per cent, -0.4 pts.). Only one original programme broke into the month’s top 10 – The Umbrella Academy on Netflix totaled 3.9 billion viewing minutes – while the rest went to acquired titles including Prison Break, which led the way with 5.4 billion minutes across Netflix and Paramount+. Bluey on Disney+ generated over 4 billion viewing minutes to secure the second most watched streaming title this month. The animated Australian import helped drive an 8 per cent increase for the streamer, as Disney+ reached a platform high of 2.3 per cent of TV in August. Some of the 8 per cent boost can also be attributed to Hulu content available within the Disney+ platform to certain package subscribers.

YouTube won the month among streaming services for the 19th consecutive interval, posting another category and platform best in August with 10.6 per cent of TV. Compared with August 2023, YouTube has the largest year-over-year difference in share for any streaming platform and has added 1.5 points to its share of TV (9.1 per cent to 10.6 per cent). Meanwhile, the overall streaming category has gained 2.7 points YoY and is up 11 per cent versus August 2023. (Wires)

New Cyberpunk Animated Series on Netflix

Based on the latest information available up to September 19, 2024, Netflix, in collaboration with CD Projekt Red, has confirmed the development of a new animated project within the Cyberpunk universe. Here's what we know:

Announcement: During Geeked Week, Netflix teased this new project, hinting at a "return to Night City," which suggests it will be set in the same universe as "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners" and "Cyberpunk 2077."

Project Details: While it's confirmed to be set in the Cyberpunk universe, specifics like whether it will be a direct sequel or a new story entirely, akin to "Edgerunners" but with a different narrative or characters, remain undisclosed. There's been no confirmation if this is an "Edgerunners Season 2," though the nature of the announcement leaves room for speculation.

Reception and Context: The original "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners" series was well-received, contributing to a surge in interest back towards "Cyberpunk 2077." This positive reception might influence the new project's direction, aiming to leverage the existing fanbase while expanding the universe's lore.

Teasers and Speculation: From posts on X (formerly Twitter), there's excitement and speculation among fans. The mention of "another animated series set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe" and teases about exploring new stories in Night City suggest a continuation or expansion of the thematic elements fans enjoyed in "Edgerunners."

Release Information: As of now, no release date or further detailed plot information has been shared. Netflix and CD Projekt Red have promised more details at a later date, keeping the community in anticipation.

This new venture into the Cyberpunk animated series by Netflix represents a commitment to exploring more narratives within this dystopian world, potentially tapping into different aspects of Night City's lore, characters, or even new tech developments within its universe. While fans eagerly await more concrete details, the announcement itself has reignited discussions and excitement around what new stories might unfold in one of the most visually and narratively rich settings in recent sci-fi history.

The big streamers have been cutting their original content output

Where did all the new shows go?

By Tom Jones

Seasons change

If you’ve been mindlessly scrolling through streaming services and have been feeling even less enthused than usual, you may not be entirely to blame: almost all major US streamers have been cutting their original TV output this year, according to new analysis from Variety.

From content monolith Netflix, which released 203 original shows in the first half of 2023 compared with 174 in H1 ‘24, to Disney+, which has halved its already-slim original TV library as it continues an apparent shift to quality over quantity, shrinkage has hit the streaming world hard. Indeed, of the 8 major streamers Variety studied from Luminate data, only Max and Peacock maintained their output level year over year.

All told, the number of original seasons fell 19% at the 8 streamers tracked.

For a while, it seemed we might float forever on an endless stream of new series, as companies competed to supply viewers who’d become accustomed to basking in the Golden Age of Television. However, the financial reality of producing content in an increasingly-competitive arena where margins are tight and churn rates are growing is becoming apparent.

It’ll be interesting to see how streamers’ original show libraries stack up in the latter half of this year compared to H2 2023, when original production tallies at some major players began to reflect the effects of the extended Hollywood strikes. (Credit: Chartr with Sherwood_

Netflix Netflix Q2 2024 Earnings
https://youtube.com/watch?v=wro9lCCgW0E

Netflix beats estimates as ad-supported memberships rise 34% from last year

Adds 8M Subscribers

278 million global subscribers

The streamer’s global paid memberships rose 16.5% year over year to 278 million. This marks one of the last updates Netflix will release regarding its membership numbers

Shareholder Letter:

“our biggest update in a decade.”

“This new interface provides more visible title information at a glance — including synopsis, genre and ratings”

“Title previews are also larger and more dynamic, with more immersive trailers and bigger box art to make browsing easier. We’ve also simplified the navigation bar and moved it to the top of the page to create quicker, easier short cuts. And this new design includes My Netflix, which has everything members have saved or watched and was previously only available on mobile.”

“The challenge for so many of our competitors is that while they are investing heavily in premium content, it’s generating relatively small viewing on their streaming services and linear continues to decline”

“we believe our biggest opportunity is winning a larger share of the 80%+ of TV time (primarily linear and streaming) that neither Netflix nor YouTube has today.”

“This has driven industry leading penetration, engagement and retention for us, which limits the benefit to Netflix of bundling directly with other streamers”

More Intel:

Netflix shares were down about 1.5% in extended trading following the earnings release.

Company performance per WSJ

Earnings per share: $4.88 vs $4.74 per share expected by LSEG

Revenue: $9.56 billion vs.9.53 billion expected by LSEG

Total memberships: 277.65 million global paid memberships vs. 274.4 million expected, per StreetAccount

Revenue was roughly $9.6 billion, up 17% compared to the same quarter last year, driven primarily by the increase in average paid memberships.

Netflix said it now expects full-year reported revenue growth of 14% to 15%, compared with previous guidance of 13% to 15%.

The company reported net income of $2.15 billion, or $4.88 per share, up from $1.49 billion, or $3.29 per share, during the second quarter of 2023.

Netflix’s global paid memberships rose 16.5% year over year to 278 million. This signals one of the last updates Netflix will release regarding its membership numbers.

Japanese Female Pro-Wrestling Drama Series ‘The Queen of Villains’ Premieres September 19

How did one woman whip Japan into a frenzy? Launching on September 19, The Queen of Villains unveils the story of Dump Matsumoto, the most terrifying “heel” during the golden age of women’s pro wrestling in Japan. Spanning five episodes, the series explores the events that led to her rise decades ago.

From the ‘70s to the ‘80s, female pro-wrestling tag teams like “Beauty Pair” (Jackie Sato and Maki Ueda) and “Crush Gals” (Chigusa Nagayo and Lioness Asuka) became national icons. They captivated Japan not only by competing but also by singing and dancing in the ring. On the other side of this was Dump Matsumoto, the sworn rival of the “Crush Gals.” She made all of Japan her enemy, wreaking havoc in and outside of the ring. But once upon a time, young Dump Matsumoto was told she was too kind to be a villain. What events made her one of the most disliked figures in Japanese wrestling history?

Bringing these iconic female wrestlers to life is a talented cast chosen through auditions:

Multi-talented comedian Yuriyan Retriever portrays Dump Matsumoto.

Erika Karata (Desert of Namibia) plays Chigusa Nagayo, who starts as a failed wrestling trainee but eventually rises to stardom.

Ayame Goriki (Watashi ga Ore no Jinsei?!) portrays Lioness Asuka, known for being the most athletic and technical wrestler among her peers.

The renowned Osamu Suzuki developed, wrote, and produced the series. After hearing Matsumoto talk about the women’s pro wrestling era on his show, Suzuki was inspired to turn her story into a series and wrote the screenplay himself. Kazuya Shiraishi (The Devil’s Path, The Blood of Wolves, Lesson in Murder) serves as the supervising director, while Chigusa Nagayo herself led the actors’ physical training and presided over the wrestling scenes.

Watch the rise of these women to fame and the lessons their journeys hold today. The Queen of Villains premieres globally on September 19, only on Netflix.

About Netflix Series The Queen of Villains Cast: Yuriyan Retriever, Erika Karata, Ayame Gorik Developer, Producer, Screenwriter: Osamu Suzuki Supervising Director: Kazuya Shiraishi Director: Katsuhito Mogi Writer: Junya Ikegami Producers: Haruhiko Hasegawa Hidehisa Chiwata Produced by: Netflix Production Company: KADOKAWA Release Date: September 19, 2024 Episode: 5 episodes.

#TheQueenofVillains

Logline: The Queen of Villains unveils the untold story of Dump Matsumoto, a professional wrestler who ignited a boom in women's wrestling in the 1980s with her cult-like following. Unlike the iconic “Crush Gals” duo, Chigusa Nagayo and Lioness Asuka, Matsumoto made her mark as the most famous heel. Dominating television screens, they became a cultural phenomenon, captivating Japan. (Credit: Netflix)

Media Man: Pumped for Dump. We used to bring in VHS tapes of Dump and her associates into Australia in the late 80s and early 90s. One of the greatest women pro wrestlers of all time. The killer heel and queen bee of the ring. Netflix makes a killer and smart move in delivering this gem to the global audience. This will more than satisfy the cast majority of pro wrestling and fight fans, and we as those who love the hero vs villain scenario - a base of storytelling. Shakespearean and a beautiful violence. This is pop culture history.
