They should put Lucifer reruns on [as].

I do have suggestions for companies NBCU could acquire besides UMG. NBCU could team up with Nintendo to acquire radio station operator Audacy Inc. (which owns some former NBC-owned radio stations, such as WFAN in NYC, the former WNBC-AM), with each company owning 50%. For outright...

Besides, the Sony/Paramount ship has sailed. Once PSKY and WBD complete their merger, it is highly unlikely Sony will be allowed to buy the combined entity in the future. Foreign entities can also acquire terrestrial US stations under the right conditions considering I want Sony to buy the...

This does open the door for an eventual acquisition of NBCU by Sony, which in turn would complete reducing the number of major studios from 10 years ago from 6 to 3 (after the Disney/Fox and Paramount/WB mergers), but this would be a highly undesirable outcome given how Disney/Fox affected the...

This changes everything. Before this was announced, I had wanted Comcast to buy Universal Music Group and run it as a separate business unit from NBCU. Now the burden of acquiring UMG and reuniting it with its namesake falls on NBCU themselves.

Well it's correct as far as the American operations of Comcast are concerned. The only cable networks still under Comcast in the USA are Bravo, Universo, and the NBC Sports Regional Networks (although the latter ones are on thin ice due to the downfall of RSNs). With the merger of HBOmax and...

Comcast won't go for the latter two as they have decreased their involvement in linear cable networks with the Versant spin-off. AMC could be useful for Sony though to expand their presence in linear TV, and Lionsgate should go to Sony as well. But back on topic, SkyShowtime being merged into...

Nexstar making the CW profitable has come at the cost of the types of shows that made the network so great. I may have a solution for that. If Amazon were to buy Nexstar, the latter would have the financial resources to once again source most CW shows from CBS and WB, the founders of the...

There's some new episodes in there.

Complementing Disney Channel airing the main Pokemon series could be a mature-oriented spin-off on FX, although like the main series, such a spin-off would have to air in Japan first. If that is successful, FX could acquire more mature-oriented serious anime for a late-night block competing with...

Shrek 5 should have a tribute to Steve Harwell, former lead singer for Smash Mouth, since the band performed All-Star and I'm a Believer for the first Shrek.

I don't see networks doing it, but there are quite a few recent kids cartoons that have surpassed 100 half hours that could be profitable if syndicated to local stations regardless of what network affiliation they have if any. From Nick, there's SpongeBob and The Loud House. The latter's...

If Sony were to acquire the non-news assets of Fox Corp. as I want them to, this could get real interesting.

The Knicks notably never won a title in the years they were owned outright by the various owners of Paramount Pictures between 1977-94. When Viacom bought Paramount, they quickly sold off the MSG properties not only because they didn't want them, but also to help pay off debt. Of course I do...

Ironically it was WB that released Detective Pikachu (except in Japan where Toho handled distribution) and it would end up airing multiple times on the legacy Turner channels.
