Next life I want to come back as Colin in Succession.

Update per sources: Tech issues with CBS feed and station servers.

Raleigh N.C. CBS affiliate did not carry several segments of CBS Sunday Morning today including one about white supremacist uprising in Wilmington in 1898. Station tells me it was a technical issue. Will update if I have more details. Here is the story: youtu.be/YkvTCZ2omXc?si…

Argentina will still tear your heart out

@attymal Me or Mick?

@JBFlint Arrogant old man. I feel sorry for you.

Mick Jagger sums it up in NYT interview: Question: "What’s good about getting older, physically or metaphysically?" Mick: "There’s nothing good about it."

@carloslikestoh1 the announcer of Argentina - Switzerland said it.

@JBFlint says who, you ignorant retard ?

Only in soccer is having to come back from 1-0 considered an incredible comeback.

Scripps stations back on DirecTV but satellite broadcaster's chief content officer Rob Thun is not in a celebratory mood. Says Thun: "We are frustrated that broadcasters use blackouts as a tool to force us to accept unwarranted rate hikes that consistently exceed normal, inflationary increases, and by a lot ...as ownership becomes concentrated among a handful of ever-larger broadcasters gaining stations across new and within their existing markets, those expanded stations become increasingly powerful and further unbalanced negotiating tools. The more markets and major network affiliations a broadcaster controls, the greater its ability to withhold programming from the very communities it is meant to serve."

Scripps - DirecTV standoff over. More coming.

For weeks, Dr. Nino Papale has seen dozens of patients stumble in his Michigan emergency room with the same set of symptoms: intense stomach pain, dehydration, and—he can’t emphasize enough—truly explosive diarrhea. wsj.com/health/healthc…

@TMTAnalystANON @TedatPolicyband From @RichLightShed?

@JBFlint @TedatPolicyband Disagree, every single Comcast earnings call you can guarantee two questions from the analysts will come up: 1. When will Peacock reach EBITDA breakeven? 2. Will Peacock ever have enough scale/what is the plan internationally?

Isn’t Charter waiting to close on the Cox acquisition? Also, I think Charter needs to complete the acquisition of liberty Broadband, which is basically a stock buyback. Regarding the current d.c. merger approval scene, doesn’t Charter have a better chance of buying Comcast than vice versa?

Raymond James analyst Ric Prentiss' pragmatic take on Paramount - WBD: "Based on our review, it appears the WBD/PSKY merger agreement does not explicitly require UK or state approvals. This could prove critical, as the key question for WBD shareholders may not be whether the states or the UK ultimately prevail, but whether any of those proceedings can prevent or delay closure before the companies otherwise become entitled to close. The U.S. DOJ has closed its antitrust review without challenging the transaction, and while the EU investigation is ongoing, the companies submitted Phase I remedies, extending the EC's review to July 22, rather than proceeding directly to a Phase II investigation, suggesting a potential path to resolving any concerns within Phase I... As such, it is possible the merger could have all necessary approvals by July 22, and the companies could close the merger on that date. If this happens, WBD shareholders would be paid $31/share in cash, and the proverbial egg would be scrambled, with PSKY (at that point, NewCo) responsible for remedying any UK or state issues, be it through divestitures or other structural or behavioral cures. We believe the increasing likelihood of remedies is hurting PSKY stock, while the hope of closing ahead of state lawsuits or UK intervention is propping up WBD. While legal decisions are unpredictable, we see a strong probability of a TRO being issued to try and delay closing. In this case, WBD shareholders would also bear some risk of the deal being eventually blocked. That said, we believe there are win/win solutions to be had across the various jurisdictions, be it through divestitures or other remedies, and see a lower risk of the deal actually falling apart. But, we reiterate our Underperform rating on WBD given it remains primarily an arb spread story, compared to other stocks under coverage where we see greater opportunity, and the possibility of a TRO or UK PIIN presenting near-term headline risk."

@TMTAnalystANON @TedatPolicyband Won't deny Peacock has not lived up to expectations but I don't think investors have punished Comcast stock over it. Now NBCU stock may get punished over it.

@JBFlint @TedatPolicyband That isn’t completely accurate. The utter failure of Peacock has absolutely impaired the valuation of NBCU in the eyes of many investors. If Peacock has failed then there is zero terminal value to the media segment of NBCU. *Not denying broadband subs the main issue.

I want everyone to know my deep sense of gratitude to Josh Harris and the entire Burgundy and Gold organization for this honor.  But this recognition is not for me alone.  It should be shared with my forever teammates, coaches, and ultimately YOU, the fans. You and I are forever tied to 44 You gave me breath I gave you heart. And I hope more laughs than tears. ~ Riggo

@MichaelSocolow @TedatPolicyband That would kind of defeat the purpose of the split.

@MichaelSocolow @TedatPolicyband Comcast isn't going to put broadband onto NBCU.

@DavidPoland Tweet, retweet and rewrite and click click click

I retweeted it. I don’t mind the piece. What’s making me crazy is the way it’s being re-reported as though people just noticed the debt load. Likewise, the new reconsideration of Netflix wanting more revenue sources. And oh my god, people don’t have the relationship with 8-episode seasons that they did with 22-episode seasons. We are in a moment - and you are not the one doing it - of discovery of things that were obvious long ago like they are revelations. Shocked Shocked stuff.

Why does anyone think this is new news?
