This is an encouraging and full range article about the Industry and David Unger seems to be optimistic about the future of film, TV and the Streamers.
‘The whole concept of ‘international’ is really a misnomer. Everything is international,” Unger says, adding: “I think of the entertainment industry...
Expand postDebbie Elicksen I liked the fact that Unger saw a use for AI in the industry, not in the writing of projects, but to help with back-end payments and box office transparency.

This is a really good piece by Deadline, using the example of Suits. Currently, writers and creators get not much, but not nothing.

When you call internationally, Ahmed Mohammed Abd El-Sabour, is there a message that lets you know what the phone charges are?
Yes I'll be calling internationally...I don't know what should I do? The charges are not clearly put

Nexstar is slated to acquire ABC television stations as Disney makes some changes. Hmm, I'd like to hear what Shadow and Sam think about this.
I imagine as these Bob Iger-types continue to refuse to negotiate in good faith with the unions, there will be a few more assets being sold off.
