Cable News Clips

There is a ton of money in streaming, and over time I expect it to be a lot more profitable for the content providers than cable was, because cable is a very expensive middleman. Netflix is a monster and incredibly profitable despite most of its original content being pretty bad. Peacock, Disney and Paramount have huge libraries and decades of strong content, but they rode out the linear cable game too long and are trying to catch up in streaming.

The Late Night Shows draw a lot of Youtube and rewatch streaming traffic, and actually represent a way for Paramount and Peacock to stay competitive despite being so far behind. Cancelling them is bad business, and I doubt any of the other companies are even considering cancelling their late night programs. But Redstone is trying to sell Paramount, and Trump could demand half of the proceeds at this point and she would probably pay it.

Welcome to a fascist economy.
