    I like funding announcements that tell you how much the company is worth instead of asking reporters to attribute that to "sources familiar." Also, that is a lot of money for a Brooklyn/Instagram suitcase-maker!

    WarnerMedia wants reruns of the hit sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" for its streaming service, but that won't be straightforward. Netflix, producer Chuck Lorre and even cable channel TBS may have something to say about it. Very smart take from

    And, as notes, the guy who wrote the most convincing tribute to the Record Store Guy is totally fine with firing up Spotify and getting whatever you want/whenever you want.

    This is Us: Made by Fox, airs on NBC, reruns on Hulu. But, in a few years, that's going to change.

    Explained Hulu/Comcast/Disney. tldr: In a few years, everything you used to find on Netflix and Hulu will be spread out between Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, NBCU's streamer, WarnerMedia's streamer, etc. Fun!

    The only curveball Comcast could throw would be to totally bail on its streaming plans and just sell its stuff to Netflix for a gazillion dollars, which was an idea some Comcast execs had floated internally. Looks like that ship has sailed tho.

    No surprise. Like att, Comcast wants its most valuable content on its own platform. Only q is whether it will strike an att-style deal that also lets it live on netflix. (This is why Comcast is also going to sell its Hulu stake)

    I did not know that Men’s Health had extensive Game of Thrones coverage but I am not surprised. We will miss you, GOT. Sincerely, all media outlets.

    Here correctly notes that Buzzfeed, Vox et al have not disrupted old media (and in fact are hoping old media helps them out) . But no mention of Google and Facebook which have absolutely disrupted old media.
