NFL announces massive $110b package deal. with Fox, NBC, ESPN, AMAZON, CBS
Posted by agregime1 on 3/18/21 at 3:22 pm
I thought people were boycotting why the heck are they getting richer??
quote:
The NFL finalized media rights deals worth $10B annually, or $110B over the course of the 11-year deals. For many consumers, the new deals will look largely like the last deals, with the big TV packages remaining unchanged on CBS, Fox, NBC and ESPN, albeit for much bigger rights fees, and many more digital rights. The deals begin with the '23 season and run through '33. ESPN, once again, will pay the highest rights fee, coming in at an average of $2.7B per year, though its 35% increase is far lower than the other media companies. Plus, its deal puts ABC in the Super Bowl rotation, will bring one exclusive international series game to ESPN+ and will allow the NFL to flex meaningful games onto Monday night.
quote:
The NFL announced a new set of national television deals Thursday, which keeps games on ESPN/ABC, Fox, CBS, NBC, Amazon and NFL Network through the 2033 season.
Terms were not released.
The agreement keeps Sunday afternoon games on CBS and Fox, Sunday night games on NBC and Monday night games on ESPN with some games also airing on ABC. For the first time, Amazon will be the exclusive home for Thursday night games, which will also be on over-the-air channels in the competing teams' home markets. NFL Network will also air select games.
ABC picks up two Super Bowls during the deal -- the first in 2026 -- with the other networks airing three.
The agreement also calls for additional "flex" options to move better matchups into prime time slots on Sundays on NBC and, for the first time, Mondays on ESPN.
The ESPN package also includes the ability to stream games on ESPN+, as well as one international series game on an exclusive national basis. NBC, CBS and Fox will also have the ability to stream games they hold the rights to.
"We're proud to grow our partnerships with the most innovative media companies in the market," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "Along with our recently completed labor agreement with the NFLPA, these distribution agreements bring an unprecedented era of stability to the League and will permit us to continue to grow and improve our game."

Drake becomes first artist to simultaneously debut three songs in the no1 no2 & no3 spot.
Posted by agregime1 on 3/16/21 at 11:32 am
quote:
Drake is ranked as the highest-certified digital singles artist in the United States by the Recording Industry Association Of America (RIAA), with 142 million units based on combined sales and on-demand streams.
quote:
And now the Canadian singer-songwriter has made history with the latest release of his new EP titled Scary Hours 2.
All three new songs ended up debuting in the top three spots of the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously, which is a first in the recording industry.
quote:
With "What's Next," Drake adds his eighth Hot 100 No. 1, while the three songs up his total to a record-extending 45 top 10s. Drake also joins The Beatles and Ariana Grande as the only acts ever to rank at Nos. 1, 2 and 3 on the Hot 100 simultaneously.
quote:
Drake pads his record total to 45 Hot 100 top 10s, thanks to "What's Next," "Wants and Needs" and "Lemon Pepper Freestyle." Madonna ranks second with 38 top 10s, followed by The Beatles with 34.
Drake further extends his records to 119 top 40 Hot 100 hits and 231 entries overall.

U.S. stocks climbed to record highs Thursday as the comeback in tech shares resumed, while the signing of additional fiscal stimulus gave sentiment a further boost.

DOW JONES UNOFFICIALLY CLOSES UP 207.98 POINTS, OR 0.64%, AT 32,505.00
NASDAQ UNOFFICIALLY CLOSES UP 321.24 POINTS, OR 2.46%, AT 13,390.07

Wall Street was on a tear again Thursday, with tech stocks surging and both the Dow (INDU) and the S&P 500 (SPX) notching fresh record highs.
The Dow finished up 0.6%, or 189 points, while the S&P closed 1% higher.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (COMP) scored the biggest gains of the day, rising 2.5%.
Spring has sprung and equity investors are in the spirit: They're feeling optimistic about the $1.9 trillion stimulus package Congress passed this week and signed into law by President Joe Biden earlier in the day, as well as the eventual reopening of the economy.
"Trends related to Covid continue to show improvement on both a national and international basis, as vaccine doses continue to pile up across the country," said Bespoke Investment's Paul Hickey.
Bond yields, which climbed recently on worries that an inflation spike would force the Federal Reserve to raise rates sooner rather than later, have fallen back again. Those fears were calmed in part by Wednesday's inflation report, which was in line with economists' expectations.
quote:
Some are still keen to keep buying equities, especially those sensitive to the economy, ahead of the arrival of stimulus checks," Razaqzada added, "while others are happy to book profit after a remarkable rally over the past year or so."
Thursday's economic data also helped shore up optimism: Weekly first-time claims for unemployment benefits came in lower than economists had predicted, and they also fell from the prior week. It might be a sign that the US jobs recovery is finally gathering steam.
Even so, with 712,000 seasonally adjusted initial claims filed last week, the number of workers requiring benefits is still higher than during the peak of the Great Recession.

Disney + just surpassed 100m subscribers in less than 1 & a half years.

Boycotts aint going so well....

Another boycott bites the dust
quote:
Disney Plus has officially surpassed 100 million subscribers, less than a year and a half after the streaming service launched.
Executives announced the milestone during Disney’s annual shareholders meeting. The last time Disney gave an update on Disney Plus’ subscribers number was in February during its first quarter earnings; there, it announced that, as of January 2nd, 2021, there were just over 94 million. Although executives didn’t say what pushed Disney Plus over 100 million subscribers, the recent success of WandaVision and Raya and the Last Dragon likely helped. The next big series for Disney Plus is The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, out on March 19th.
quote:
“The enormous success of Disney Plus ... has inspired us to be even more ambitious, and to significantly increase our investment in the development of high-quality content,” CEO Bob Chapek said in a press release. “In fact, we set a target of [more than] 100 new titles per year, and this includes Disney Animation, Disney Live Action, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic.”
quote:
Disney executives originally predicted that Disney Plus would amass between 60 and 90 million subscribers by 2024. The company has blown past that goal and is now targeting between 300 and 350 million subscribers across all of its streaming platforms (Disney Plus, Hulu, ESPN Plus, Star Plus, HotStar) by 2024.

Jack Dorsey put up one of his tweets for an auction, and it could go for as much as $10m
Posted by agregime1 on 3/6/21 at 7:11 pm
quote:
Dorsey posted a link to the auction, hosted by a platform called Valuables, on Twitter on Friday without a comment or explanation. Some of you may be asking, how can he sell a tweet? Dorsey is selling a “non-fungible token” of his tweet, known as an NFT.
quote:
Now, what exactly does the person who wins the auction for Dorsey’s tweet get? According to Valuables, you get a “digital certificate of the tweet, unique because it has been signed and verified by the creator.” Despite the sale, the tweet will continue to live on Twitter.
quote:
As of the publication of this blog, the highest bid for Dorsey’s tweet is $2.5 million. The person that bid this jaw-dropping amount for Dorsey’s tweet is Hakan Estavi, CEO of Bridge Oracle, a Malaysia-based company that uses Oracle systems to enable smart contracts on the TRON network.
However, on Twitter on Saturday, Estavi said that he would actually be willing to shell out a lot more for the tweet. He’s willing to go up to $10 million.

Twitter stock closes at seven-year high, as analyst cheers newfound ‘swagger’
quote:
Analysts seemed generally relieved by the company’s user-growth commentary following its permanent ban of former President Donald Trump
quote:
But the Street isn’t worried, particularly since Dorsey is projecting 20% mDAU year-over-year growth in the first quarter.
Advertising revenue grew 31% on a year-over-year basis in Q4, reaching $1.5 billion. Total ad engagement also grew by 35% in the quarter.
Looking ahead, Twitter says it’s expecting revenue between $940 million and $1.04 billion in the first quarter. Revenue should grow faster than expenses, the company said, but Twitter is also increasing its employee county by more than 20% in 2021.

Apple is planning to build its self driving car.
Posted by agregime1 on 12/21/20 at 5:28 pm
quote:
Apple Inc. plans to build a self-driving car for consumers and is targeting 2024 to produce the vehicle, Reuters reported on Monday. The company is developing its own battery technology that could reduce the cost of power packs and extend the vehicle’s range, Reuters said, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter. An Apple spokesman declined to comment.
quote:
Apple is tapping outside partners for elements of the system, including lidar sensors that provide autonomous cars with a real-time, 3-D view of the world, Reuters added. Apple is also developing its own lidar technology. There’s still a chance Apple will decide to reduce the scope of its efforts to an autonomous driving system that would be integrated with a car made by a traditional automaker, Reuters reported, noting that it’s unclear which manufacturer would build it for Apple. Apple has been working on driverless car technology since 2014, but pared back its ambitions from a full-fledged vehicle in 2017, Bloomberg News has reported. Since then, Apple has been working on the underlying autonomous system. The company has been deciding whether to attach this system to its own car, or existing vehicles, or to partner with an established carmaker, Bloomberg News reported earlier this month.
