Next TMT

The @NFL is readying to re-enter rights talks w/ @CBS, @DisneyABCTV, @NBCUniversal, @NFLonFOX and @amazon. + @MLB and @NHL are resetting in '28. @NextTMT 's @DavidBloom talked about the coming frenzy w/ sports media pros Patrick Crakes and Lucas Bertrand. youtube.com/watch?v=XkiTuy…

This week, @NextTMT talks to Vert-I-Go's Dana Protsyshak about the fast-growing micro-drama sector. Why are micro dramas suddenly so popular? How are they being monetized? And how many stories about getting kidnapped by mob bosses can the market support? youtube.com/watch?v=TbO0pE…

This week's Next TMT newsletter is here, diving into the SuperBowlympics of relentless hype (also, sometimes, sports); media earnings, two very different new movies from people named "M," Khaby Lame's big payday, and so much else. nexttmt.beehiiv.com/p/puny-peacock…

AI is crushing media valuations. Publishers have lost a third or more of their traffic from Google’s AI summaries — and it’s freezing media M&A deals. #NextTMT #AI #MediaIndustry #MergersAndAcquisitions #GoogleAI #DigitalMedia #TechNews

@InsideUSC Clay Helton was 9-3 his first full season. Beat Notre Dame and UCLA. Ran off eight straight. Won the conference and was there to take the Rose Bowl when James Franklin handed it to him. That was a successful season. 10-3/9-4, loss to Notre Dame, no playoff, no big upset? Meh.

Imagine if Lincoln Riley had said this at his first USC press conference "Nine wins with the schedule we play is a really good year. It was close to being a great, great year."

OpenAI isn’t just burning GPUs — it’s burning electricity. ⚡ why the company’s massive power bill may become the next big tech backlash, with AI data centers driving energy costs higher. #NextTMT #OpenAI #AI #TechNews #EnergyCrisis #DataCenters #ArtificialIntelligence

@HawkGuyEnjoyer Did not know Iowa had this obnoxious of a trolling fanbase when we left the Pac-12. These mediocre hayseeds even make Stanford kids look cool.

Damn we have Nebraska players crying now. We really broke them 😭

@Adam_Bradford14 Let this shit roll off your back, Adam. Stop apologizing for trying to do your job. Stop worrying about lame fanboys on social. Hit em hard again Saturday. These guys are late on delivery and they need to hear it.

Anyone else find it kinda weird that Rusty is a grown man with a wife and a job, yet he still feels the need to tweet about me completely unprovoked?

Our latest issue examines niche SVOD CuriosityStream, revolutionizer of the streaming business, as well as streaming next big binge hit. nexttmt.beehiiv.com/p/curiositystr…

@InsideUSC @latimes I mean, shit on the Overpaid Carpet Bagger all day long for all I care ... but how about a little somethin' for Musselman's effort?

@NextTMT @latimes "dour passing" 😁

So ... apparently this happened. I see NOTHING about it in the local paper (@latimes) or enthusiast blogs (@InsideUSC).

CuriosityStream is printing money with AI 😳 They’re licensing nature + science IP to LLMs and getting 50% rev-share. Smallest streamer… biggest brain move. #NextTMT #AI #CuriosityStream #StreamingWars #TechNews #MediaIndustry #AIModels #ContentLicensing #FutureOfTV #LLMs

@Insidetheirish That's cool. One thing we don't need is bloated yokels of South Bend lending their callow support.

I will never root for Southern Cal btw… No matter what.

@TheRealThelmaJ1 I once ate at one of The Gamber's NYC establishments. That was good chicken.

🚨 Breaking 🚨 - Gravely concerned about the spread of socialism, Kenny Rogers announced today he will not open any Kenny Rogers Roasters Restaurants in New York City

@ByCodyHills You are what your record says you are.

Indiana. Oregon. USC. Three ranked losses by a combined 12 points and Iowa led in the fourth quarter in each of them. Officiating was atrociously slanted against them today, but it really feels like another majorly missed opportunity. #Hawkeyes

@Hassel_Chris Gotta say, of all the Big Ten fan bases, I'm least impressed with Iowa's. Whiney bitchy group of trolls.

Cannot believe the officials missed this obvious facemask call. Instead of 1st and 10 at USC 43 Iowa has to throw on 3rd and long and it’s picked.

@HawkeyeLincoln That's really mean and stupid.
