That interview now already has more views on The Late Show’s YT page in 1 day than every other videoon there in the past 3 years . . . outside of monologues around the show’s cancellation and the FCC’s Kimmel fiasco (and a Doechii performance).
Thanks, Brendan! Doin’ a helluva job for everyone’s social media!
AND:Laufey is the next music artist to leave the WASSERMAN agency. Ashley Cullins has a new #goodread Ankler breakdown on what’s ahead for the agency overall.
WBD, come on — didn’t you already hear BYTE DANCE is going to work on safeguards? This problem is over!
AH:The WGA West’s own staff unionis striking against it, alleging “unfair labor practices.” The two sides are currently negotiating their first contract.
OH: Desirable 18-49 demo, it’s been real . . . 2026 Broadcast TV demos — things are finally swinging your way! 70%+ of the country’s wealth is held by the 55+ set.
NOTE: Viewership of apps like HBO MAX, PEACOCK and PAR+ from folks who subscribe to those apps through ROKU or AMAZON SUBSCRIPTIONS gets counted under the ROKU and AMAZON totals — not those respective studio streamers.
🧐 THE WBD AUCTION — Let’s settle this thing once and for all

So, who had 10 weeks in the office pool before WBD would officially re-open talks with PSKY?
But at least we’re down to the brass tacks portion of the proceedings — just to recap:
PSKY has untilMonday, Feb. 23, for its LBFO (WBD knows how much PSKY loves Monday news developments).
PSKY has unofficially indicated to WBD that $31 a share is on the table, but perhaps more. It did not address this in its official statement on the development, still maintaining its $30 a share offer is superior.
Hey, just an idea — how about you just say what you’re f’ing going to pay for the company already?
This whole process doesn’t sell confidence in your operation. At all. This is you right now. Settle it one way or another.

We also have a NETFLIX BROS. shareholder deal vote set for Friday, March 20 (hang around after the vote for a screening of the Peaky Blinders movie that comes out that day if it goes NETFLIX’s way).
WBD continues to recommend the NETFLIX BROS. that it already has sealed to its shareholders.
We’ll see how that date holds should PSKY meaningfully change its offer, that NETFLIX would then have a right to match . . . although keep in mind, the 2 offers are not for the same assets.
